ravensrule Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 the 500 track looks pretty uber and maybe even a smidge better here than 0z which matters more than qpf imo. You are turning into an UBER weenie and i LOVE it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 DT just went 3-6ish in DC proper - 6-12 not far to the north and west. seems like a pretty good call for now. im fairly convinced we'll get 3-6 here at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowpocalypse Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 For those close to or east of the bay this east trend with the 0c line is encouraging but still think it makes us borderline until the ULL really gets going. Should hold down our accumulations there. And YES .. that's an IMBY post (I live in Annapolis) but there are many others on the eastern shore who want to know too. Haven't had to much time to sift through every post. How does Elkton do per the 12z runs, just a guess would suffice.Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreAce33 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Good luck guys. I live over in SBY, so it looks like a wet inch or two that will melt on the way out. Congrats to the DC crowd though, you guys got burned on 12/26 when we hit the jackpot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Wx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Please stop posting IMBY posts!! Actually my post is more or less comparing the variation between the NAM, EURO and GFS. The NAM puts the heaviest snow just East of DC and the EURO and GFS slighly west. Which is better in this timeframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 qpf range from the models for back here seem to be a low of .58 on up to whatever the GGEM was spitting out. Sounds good...I think..I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcwx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 At this point its going to be tough to narrow down where the heaviest band is going to set up. We have one model insisting its south east of DC, we have another saying its west/northwest. I think the best guess is probably out towards Dulles but at this point it will be really hard to narrow down the details given the slight model divergence.

WxUSAF Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 UKIE was very nice http://www.meteo.psu...op.html#picture Excellent consistency among the models. About time we have that this winter! The details that need to be ironed out are the ones that are the hardest to forecast...banding, possible convection, snow crystal growth, etc...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Since I can never see the Euro, it's not always easy to try and compare it to the others. So, someone who can see it, how does its qpf compare to that of the GFS? I can see most others. Come to think of it, I'd also like to know how the UK compares to the GFS.

Benchmark Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The 12z ARW and NMM are only out to 33hrs but the warmest part of the storm has passed at that point and the 0 850 line never makes it past BWI for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 HiRes WRFs like the NAM's idea of having the precip max south/east of the I-95 corridor. 850 temps look as cold or colder than the globals and NAM. Precip in the cities looks comparable to the consensus, but less than the consensus to the north of the cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
