Yeah I also think with strong frontogenesis and high DGZ rates, it’ll overcome any thin warm nose and keep it heavy snow with some riming. But as soon as those rates let up, it’s going to be sleet or freezing drizzle as with a dry slot. I don’t think we lose any real accums with it, maybe an inch if that. And the snowpack will be tougher.
Strong 850 frontogenesis across NoVA but warm nose over the potomac river, so it’s sleet verbatim (12k version, haven’t looked at 3k)
Edit: changes back to snow next panel
I think the euro and ukie are underestimating the dual banding, with one on the north side with good ratios, fully believe that band drops over 6”. If the gfs and euro were to split the difference, that north band will be across north-central MD
Yep. I think EZF definitely flips, DC SE pings a bit, but north of 50 should stay all snow, with the usual max lining up along and just south of i-70, and maybe even a secondary max little north of that due to higher ratios.
Just woke up. Let me see if my summary is correct?
- Euro didn’t budge
- GFS ticked south
- NAM NAMed DC north, flirt with mix line
- SREF a whole new level of NAMing
- Ukie even more south
- LWX disregarded euro and ukie
They don’t quite phase, only pushes the storm down a bit. But if they phased, lowland areas east of blue ridge through delmarva could get pummeled even more. Something to watch.
