EURO went even more west. Would definitely an outlier in its 6z ensembles, but not sure that matters.
Still get 2" from the initial thump, even in the city. Better measure it before the rain begins to really ramp up.
I suppose it's not shocking that the HDRPS is cold on the surface. Unlike the CMC though, the HDRPS only drops DCA to 27/28 tonight (the actual forecasted low). Keeps DCA below zero till the end of its run (48) tomorrow though.
the meso-low @MN Transplant mentioned earlier may not be hurting us on temps too much on its own (though I don't think its helping) but it seemed to portend some crazy gusts.
2m temps are horrific, but looking back on it previous runs weren't that much better. 850 temps actually improved somehow.
edit: to clarify, it's very slight. but NW DC/down to the Mall or so doesn't lose 850s.
Baltimore barely loses 850s, FWIW. Verbatim I think it hangs on by a thread.
D.C. is at risk of losing them ~6 hours during the best precip, which isn't ideal, but its much closer this run. I'd take my 350" of elevation and pray.
