We certainly need the rain but it is a shame Friday is probably going to ruin this being the second driest ever at MDT. We may not even be top 20 by the time Friday is over.
Most guidance has them petering out in the Northern and Western LSV but you know how it is. With the temps as is, there is not going to be a lot of accums down here. AOO "could" get slammed tomorrow. They may get a WAA.
Then the vort in the west states ion the previous panel comes calling. A bit north for an all out snow but tracking pants/shorts required. All of this is predicated on help from the North and Atlantic to fed off any warm ups and keep the boundary to our south. Eventually uts and we go to rain after a lot of wintery preip. Will be different in 6 hours but a pbp is a pbp.
First week of Feb shaping up quite chilly on the GFS after one day near or slightly an (talking highs). GFS slowly pushes the boundary further and further south as the week wears on...in a very zonal flow. How Chilly? It is snowing in coastal NC on Thursday the 6th.
Later this week, 12Z GFS not getting it done for South PA and a questionable mix for North PA....but one thing to note re: historical records. The rain arrives at MDT on Friday which is still Jan putting the second driest Jan ever rank at risk.
That graphic is infuriating in trying to read the small digits and it flipping back and forth but I have decoded it to see it says the 'Burg is going to be very windy and blowing around any snow that make sit this far south. Clipper is still a bit too far north as the boundary is not south like we need it.
Rookie Qb makes it tough. Bad sacks. Next 1-2 years he needs to prove he is not RG3 all over again. PS, both teams have fumbled 3 times. Wash lost all 3 and Philly recovered all 3.
HH GFS has an interesting option of a Miller B which snows lightly on us, after rain, for G-Hog weekend. An earlier transfer would lead to a snow storm. HH has been very disappointing this winter.
