psuhoffman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well we should have no problem hitting the 8", i would be shocked if we did not get at least 5" tonight. More than likely we will get around 8" tonight is my guess. I do expect some places in that zone to push the top end of my range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just a quick report from downstream for you guys. Folks in SW North Carolina are waking up to moderate to heavy rain and THUNDER associated with the ULL. Good luck on what's to come to you later!

mattie g Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I can't wait to get back home this afternoon, about 25 miles west of my office...and at about 150' higher elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I take it you threw out the 06z gfs not threw out, I never completely throw out guidance, its factored into my thought processes but it did not weight to heavily. Actually I made that map early yesterday for people at work, and was going to edit it and post here but after considering things...realized I should just run with it. I do think DC south and east ends up with much more precip then my 8-14" zone, difference is it will be lower ratios in that zone, mix for a time today before going to all snow, and there is the threat of the normal deform superband that typically sets up NW of where guidance puts it. Even with marginal temps ratios in that band tend to be good and this also is why often you get the snow max along the nw edge of the heavy snow shield. I could definitely see my 5-10 zone busting if that band sets up southeast of where I think. We shall see tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It really does not seem like the rain-snow line has moved north of BWI airport. Can anyone in B-more confirm? That may be its final resting place, basically where it seems to have been 2 hours now. And I am sort of not seeing this lull, especially farther north. On weenie radar, it seems like everything is trying to fill back in and racing fairly quickly. I thought much of this morning and early afternoon would be drizzle.

mattie g Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Another ob - definitely less snow on the ground around the Potomac than either east or west of there. Elevation and/or moderation from the river would probably have been big factors in that. I'd expect DCA to come in on the way low end again in this storm.

real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 So you think the rain-snow line will remain north of BWI for the event? no, but probably for much of the day. Although, I step outside in Northwest DC its a light rain that oh so feels close like it wants to go back to snow.. Hopefully the cold air wins earlier than forecast.
