  1. The HRPDS nailed this storm BTW. Unfortunately just at the edge of it's domain, but this was some frames from the Saturday 12z run
  2. This site is awesome! has all kinds of customized overlay options, but being overlay reflectivity with 500 mb vorticity really helps show the interaction between the surface and upper levels. Aguacero | Advanced Weather Visualization
  3. Yeah, even Richmond kinda gets left out of their forum mostly. It's truly just DC/Nova. Southern VA has about as high a concentration of Confederate flags as anywhere, so I think the belong in the SE (even though we begrudge how much more snow he gets)
  4. Jan 2000 blizzard vs this morning's Euro, crazy phasing aside, it's not an unreasonable analog
  5. I fear the late phase could be the nail in the coffin on this one. Would be hard to stomach with the too early phase this weekend
  6. The wind shifted and the wedge broke down all at once. Pretty neat.
  7. Don't need caffeine if we can reel in more runs like the one above
  8. Check out the moisture transport that will be concentrated in that band, off the charts!
  9. Just missed the heavier returns. An appetizer for this evening I hope
  10. 12z vs 18z soundings, slightly shallower, but holding strong
  11. The HRRR just keeps trending colder. I don't think it's out of the question the final band is mixed with sleet. In fact that is what it is showing on P-type map
  12. Perhaps, although we seem to be entering the dry slot now. May backfill a bit, but I think by 12-1pm precip will be very light until the backside band swings through. Maybe we get some sleet in that band as well (let's hope so)
  13. Yesterday's NAM was about 10 degrees too warm to current temp
  14. The QPF thing is upsetting because we could have easily had 3-4" of sleet had we gotten the moisture. Instead the heavy stuff waits until we flip to ZR
  15. HRRR showing low 20s in the triad as that band of heavy ZR comes through this evening. Pretty extreme stuff
  16. How is that even possible? Must be some kind of freezing drizzle showing up at ground at ground level
  17. That is just typical of this storm. Just barely over the line right as the precip starts
  18. Wet bulb temp https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb
  19. Nothing yet in South Greensboro. Moisture finally building in though
  20. It's a testament to the wedge how the column. Is slowly moistening but the dewpoint dropping.
  21. Even if it's not showing precip, freezing drizzle can still accumulate on surfaces
  22. Soundings are almost identical but the HRRR depicts differently on the precip type maps
  23. Check out the warm nose this morning in Arkansas
