Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If the Euro comes in similar or holds, might be time to start talking seriously about this one. hopefully we get at least a few flakes to bookend the 40 and rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 GFS clown map seems to show 2-4 N VA and north... perhaps 3-6 in N MD including BWI... but yeah its out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 GFS clown map seems to show 2-4 N VA and north... perhaps 3-6 in N MD including BWI... but yeah its out there i dont think it can take into account the high sun angle. no way that's all going to accumulate with lightish rates during the day.

Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 euro looks pretty far south thru 114.. definitely much more so than 0z. precip may miss to south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's just another miserable late March rainstorm, apparently. The snow is transient and 850's warm up sufficiently for a cold rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 i dont think it can take into account the high sun angle. no way that's all going to accumulate with lightish rates during the day. Well...it might in a way. GFS shows the storm in 2 batches...one during the day Saturday and then another Saturday night/early Sunday morning. Clown maps show most of the accumulation happening after dark despite 50-60% of the precip falling during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 yep euro doesnt really do anything but push a weak wave east.. gets some light stuff up to just north of the nc/va border. unfortunately that sort of fits the winter pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown maps show most of the accumulation happening after dark despite 50-60% of the precip falling during the day. fair enough tho i'd guess that's a function of warmer surface temps no? i dont see how a map like that would take those additional factors into account? at the risk of pulling the "sun angle doesnt matter" crowd out of hiding.. in late Mar it does of course.

Yeah probably. But surface temperatures are a function of sun angle (among other variables), right? Anyway...I'm with you that it would be tough to accumulate much during the day with warm ground temps, sun angle, low precip rates, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
