DDweatherman Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 2 minutes ago, baltosquid said: Honestly... the changes in the Ohio Valley are a little eyebrow raising. Since yesterday's 12z, the GFS had been going with a sort of three piece look (which other models had believed in) where the main wave is actually two pieces close together trying to phase, followed by a separate one further NW. This run mostly consolidates the main wave into one, and the trailer is still up NW. As long as that trailer gets close enough to bring the storm up, rather than just hinder the tilt, I don't see a reversal of the ticks NE as too crazy... I see it, I agree. Makes sense and could actually get better. I think thats why some things looked worse but others looked better and had the boom potential...still ended up a good run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago So far there’s seems to be a bit of meeting in the middle with the 12z suite. But other guidance is taking more steps toward the Op GFS than the other way around. My guess still is the metro area will, in the end, be too far west for the coastal CCB snows. But this might be our La Niña Rehobeth blizzard… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltosquid Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago No surprise with the CMC as it's basically the RGEM. It is trying so hard to bring in the low but it's just got too much pulling it out. Give me another shift like that at 18z on the RGEM and we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, NE is more about less of a capture and slightly progressive move but still a solid low pressure track. CMC was improved at 12z vs 0z (not surprising given the RGEM). Of course its all on to see what the damn euro does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 23 minutes ago, yoda said: Not saying its the same... but didn't we have an early March storm some years ago that was kinda like this at least temperature-wise? Where it was very iffy and we just happened to be lucky and the qpf was all snow? It was a heavy wet snow 9 minutes ago, WxMan1 said: Might be more like a 6.5/7/8 to 1 ratio when all is said and done, since some of that may be rain or white rain at the onset, and the other heavy aggregate flakes at 32.3-33.0F. And if I'm being honest, I wish the bulk of the event were at night and not during the day. Who remembers the St Patrick's Day snow in 2014? We got like 8.5" in Crofton that night (going into the 17th). At that event fallen during the day, we probably would have gotten half that amount. That’s the storm I think @yoda was referring to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
