We’ll see what EPS says, but this seems pretty locked in. These run to run differences are fairly minor. Details to nitpick for the next 48hrs are thermal profiles and total precip amounts. But we have the broad strokes. 3-6” WAA snow Sunday. Probably 3-6” in the CCB for points north of DC, maybe north of EZF. Wild card is the transition time from around 0z-12z Monday. Is that mixy or light snow or mostly nothing?
-
Just snows and snows and snows...moves southwest and then southeast during Tuesday!
-
?? Looks much more tucked than 0z as of 96hrs with a colder profile to boot
-
Coastal transfer going faster by 84hrs vs 0z. All snow for EZF north.
-
Euro is amped south west weaker norther. Uh oh?
-
If the euro comes out as slowly as the GGEM or para today, I’m flying to Europe to get it direct from the source. Get on with it!!
-
Pretty interesting and key note from HM RE: the lack of warm sector convection with this storm that makes things more predictable.
-
Just remember your sacrifice will ensure that those of us above the fall line will be in raptured joy on Monday with puking dendrites. And when that happens, we’ll pour one shovelful out for all you little people
-
As expected also, the guidance is losing the 72hr long snow event looks. Pretty uniform timing now on the front and back end. Snow starts early to late morning Sunday west to east. WAA tapers off by 0z Monday. Then for 6-12 hours there’s light precip (euro and GGEM) or dry slot (GFS). Then by 12z Monday or so the coastal starts to crank, CCB develops, and hopefully we get powder bombed for another 12-18 hours, wrapping up around 6z Tuesday. Sounds awesome to me.

Deform band signature right through our region clear as day. Definitely Jan ‘16 vibes.

EPS is basically locked in. Has been for 36 hours it seems to me. GEFS and GEPS are clearly moving into agreement with it more and more each run. Now just comes down to whether the coastal ends up tucked more NW along the Delmarva coast or farther out east of OCMD. As far as the WAA precip, locations farther south in VA and southern MD probably get better precip out of that then folks farther north. But then of course they probably miss out on the coastal...
-
Phew! Good news friends, 6z NAVGEM came back. Snow is back on the menu boys!
-
@MillvilleWx totally agree on the WAA providing a widespread low-end warning deal with the coastal being the wildcard. Big dogs always mix, so I’ll accept my sleet if and when it comes Monday in advance of hopefully puking dendrites in the CCB. I liked seeing the euro come into agreement with the other guidance on start time Sunday. Looks like mid-late morning. I’m stoked for a couple @Jebman Jebwalks in daylight with mod snow.
-
Sounds like Boston should be worried
-
That’s what I’m talking about! Actually, the NoVA jackpots the euro keeps spitting out is definitely giving me Jan ‘16 vibes.
-
Oh my. Perfect.
-
23z hrrr gives me a flurry band overnight
-
Not that you’d expect much differences in a 90hr forecast from one run to another, but the 18z is so close to 12z, that it might just be slight timing differences. Confluence differences in NE are a bit more distinctly different, but the shortwave and low look essentially identical.
-
Ha, I have no memory of that. I know we missed the late feb storm to the north, but all I remember is that March was a total blowtorch of warmth.
-
Oh snap. Jan '16 is #2, Jan '96 is #3.
-
Don't tease me like that, share!

DT has weighed in on this weekend:
-
Euro overdoes near-surface winds. Don't know why.
-
As @Deck Pic likes to say, this was a terrible Euro run for people who hate 12-24" snowstorms
