RIC Airport Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 IMPRESSIVE for ric airport I haven't followed up with AKQ about their decisions in wake of the measuring discrepanices the last couple seasons, but I hope the we were able to fix the problem. Every since the weather office left the Richmond airport (1994, 1995?), installation of the ASOS in 1995, plus with the FAA instead of mets taking obs......well, never mind....enough said.

cbscott126 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 So HM says in his video today that the weekend storm will dive into the OH valley, cross the mountains, head to the Delmarva, and bomb out (sort of a super-clipper). He then posts a prelim snow map that shows a Miller B setup. Seems contradictory. Then I read the forecast discussion from RNK: FOR THE WEEKEND...OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO THE GULF COAST. GUIDANCE...WHILE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH TIMING AND TRACK...SUGGEST A LOW WILL DEVELOP AND HEAD NORTHEAST ALONG THE EAST COAST...ALL WHILE A DEEP UPPER LOW DEVELOPS IN THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE INTERACTION OF THE TWO LOWS MAY HELP PROMPT OUR NEXT WIDESPREAD WINTER EVENT FOR THE REGION. FOR NOW...AM KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE WITH A GENERAL CHANCE POP FORECAST FOR RAIN/SNOW ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. That would imply a Miller A out of the Gulf. Now I am thoroughly confused (which is quite common). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patreeot Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I had 12 at 6:30. You know, I thought my thermometer on the weather station was off a few degrees so last night I put out a couple of other digital ones to check. They were all within .5 degrees of 12.

WeSuck Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I was wondering if when this storm blows up over the NE if we will possibly see some Bay Effect snows develop across the southside and eastern shore? I see some sort of QPF returns on the models. Any thoughts? I know Bay effect is rare in these parts but when it does occur it is fun to watch the bands develop.

Billabong Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yay for bay effect! Bay effect? Were missing one of the two critical elements that need to come together. Sure, 850mb and water temperature difference looks conductive, but wind direction doesn't. We need at least 330 or 340 degrees (directly north being optimal).
