i was looking at both 850 and 700's to see how good the column looked, and shouldve posted the 700's as they only looked to get real good once best qpf has left the area (gfs).
WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM SUNDAY TO 5 AM EST
TUESDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 12
inches.
* WHERE...Portions of central Pennsylvania.
* WHEN...From 3 AM Sunday to 5 AM EST Tuesday.
tell me last time you saw a 50 hour storm warning in CTP
LOL.
I'm a team player and totally happy w/ you gettin the creds.
When youre looking at ratios, you look mostly at -6 to -10 istotherms for best snow growth?
I'd think were too far east to achieve anything more than 12-13:1 as its not that cold of a storm.
per GFS heres warmest panel
then as coastal gets cranking we see this during max precip. and ccb's. IMO thats great but not cold enough to really fluff it up. Still not a complaint in the world for me.
Until Monday night I dont think your concern is off the table. Big nooners today were pretty much awesome, but its still far enough out there to warrant concern. B's have the short term ability to rob and steal like Yeagermister did in rudolph. Seeing the majors tracks makes me feel we should be able to get somewhere between ctp's conservative approach and some of the nooner Op and Ens guidance. The retrograde really helps the ccb's IMO. Meso's should paint the picture starting tonight
Just parsing over nooners/HH runs as I was helping a friend do some projects.
I dont believe or trust this for a second, but DAMN its something we rarely see. Just stare and dream a little dream.
Yep. We still need to keep the taint part in back of our minds. Think back to Monday. While setup is rather different we’re always close to warmth so no Restin easy until 0zs for you festus trainer and I
It also brought best precip into our forum. Was a tick south of 6z. Not sure if thats just noise, but it was notable. IMO it just supports a ctp beatdown.
And as always, only look at snowfall maps for trends, and not forecasts for back yard rulers.
out to 39...WAA snows in 12z NAM are really nice so those still worried about coastal should feel good about that.
Even if coastal were to poop the bed, you'd still have a blanket of snow on said bed and will help with the cleanup.
