I think you can see the back edge creeping east and as it does it’ll put the better banding over us for a period, but this whole thing is in a hurry. My 2-4 idea for dc is in trouble but maybe we can still get some good coverage.
Everyone who is cliff jumping or will do so shortly let’s not destroy the thread with meltdowns. If you truly believe we’re cooked then there’s no reason to be posting anymore. For those who want to track, post observations, etc, carry on.
Yeah, I’m def in chips fall mode although I was always seeing this as a 2-4 deal with some potential upside. If we get shut out completely I’d be disappointed but I don’t see that. I still think the upside is possible, if we get that nice banding along the front it can drop 1-2 inch per hour rates.
No need to sweat euro qpf, nothing has really changed for dc metro. Just the typical run to run variance. This has always looked like a 2-4 ish event with some boom potential upside. I still think the northern burbs probably get their 3-6.
Just coming back down to earth, coming into consensus with everything. I don’t think 6+ for the majority of Maryland was ever going to happen. Still a great run for pretty much all of us.
Don’t trust that the euro, or anything, will nail that skinny band placement, but I love seeing it hand wave the the temp issues….illustrates the boom potential even into the metros.
Maybe it's just cause things have been working for us this winter the vibes feel different. If we were looking at this scenario in other years I'd be doom posting about our sloppy inch. It'll be interesting to track the progress of the cold front in real time tomorrow. If I wake up tomorrow and it's 12 degrees in Pittsburgh we should be good, if it's 25 we're probably cooked.
It seems like guidance is finally converging now and it puts DC right on the edge. Big boom/bust potential with the forecasting but I think DC gets snow even in the bust scenario. I'd go 2-4 for DC proper now but I would not be surprised to see us end up with 1-2 or even 5-6.
