nj2va Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I like the new 7-day hazardous weather outlook briefs put out by LWX now. I’ve noticed other offices do similar products for winter storms. https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/DssPacket.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it skips over and reforms just east of Stephens City and crushes everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my weather station is accurate, we picked up about a quarter of an inch in the line. Not too bad I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 This is a good example of the polarimetric radar being important. If you look at the reflectivity over my house you’d think that it was pouring. The high differential reflectivity and low differential phase indicates that there are large, but relatively few big drops. So, despite a radar that looks like below, I’ve had 0.07” so far in this batch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
