WhiteKEAN2004 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 In case you guys are interested, the AKQ SKYWARN schedule is now up at http://www.erh.noaa.gov/akq/spotterinfo/skywarn.htm Only HR/Tidewater classes thus far are in VB and Chesapeake, but I hope to have a few more to announce on the Peninsula/Northern Neck/NE NC soon.

Cool. Anyway, I had to drive into Wakefield on a personal note last week. I actually passed by the NWS Wakefield office. Does it always smell like pig sh*t outside? I'm serious.

D-Money Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Could be a decent clipper? I would think some sprinkles/rain shower. Maybe if it came south of us. I bet the GFS dries this thing out over the next couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Coolwx is awful when it comes to precip type. I'm hoping for a little bit of snow too, but the soundings are just a bit too warm at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeSuck Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 6z NAM and 6GFS are perfect tracks and 850 positions....f boundary layer temps. Let see some soundings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 This event looks very suspicious, I don't see how the Hampton Roads area cannot see snow with those parameters and precip rates. 850 temps are absolutely frigid, 850 low track is the best that anyone along the coast has seen this year.

I agree with the fact that the precip rates will likely be heavy enough for at least snow to fall. I don't really care about accum. I just want to see some snow fall. The 850's are beautiful for snow in these parts. However, BL temps always screw us. Although, this may be a surprise event. What were BL temps like back on the 12/26/2004 storm? I am not comparing in any way. Just curious since that was a surprise event as well with at best a mix being called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 New 12z NAM is colder with a long duration of precip including a bonus clipper near the end of the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Lower level temps are just going to be a bit too warm for snow with the coastal. Going to be close with the clipper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I agree but I will not be surprised to see precip rates overcome if heavy enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
