mitchnick Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Snowing heavy at 18z, again. and 700mb RH says much more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 NAM puts the surface low much farther east, but based on the bagginess in the isobars, I suspect it will jump the surface low west on the next panel or two. Especially given the location of the 850 low. Not quite as juicy as the 18z, but still pretty wet. Looks a slight bit colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Is that a CCB at hr 45? BTW, the UVV's at hr 42 are ridiculous. -15 across the I-95 corridor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUweathermanDD Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Looks to be a CCB destroying the coast at 45, I can't believe it. Well we saw some continuity this run, a bit of a different pattern on this run compared to 18z compared to how the low gets caught and how the pieces phase but wow.

PhineasC Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The low sure is way offshore. Pointing the fire hose back towards the coast, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Snowing heavy at 18z, again. It starts snowing at DCA by 15Z according to the soundings with only the surface temp at 1.2 C and just above freezing at 1000 mb. . All the other layers are below freezing. By 18Z the surface temps is down to 0.5. Pretty cold run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The NAM now depicts 2 meter temperatures and they sure are warm, 10C near SW West Virginia/Raleigh/Chincoteague. The 850 mb temps are chilly, suggesting widespread boundary layer issues and/or snow melting on contact. Finally, at sunset on Saturday, heights crash!
