DEC 11-13th Snow Tracking

Recommended Posts

Any one else have this on their home station? The pressure has fallen nearly 2 mb in the last 15 mins to 991.8 here, after the slow rise I posted about! A breeze has picked up out of the NW, but the temp has done nothing and is right at 38.1.

I'm guessing the wave on the front, as shown by the RUC and others is starting to rapidly intensify as it moves on north by us.

My temp popped up a degree to 39, NW breeze is there, but slight. My baro was rising, now fell slightly also. My dp is down a degree...that's about it. That feature rolling through southern OH into northern KY may add a little lift tomorrow morning or late overnight. Otherwise, some convective snow showers late morning/early afternoon is likely the only hope. Even the flash freeze is looking less likely, but I assume there will be some slick spots tomorrow morning, especially nw of metro.

nice lttle swirl on wv.. guess this wave is the same that produced flurries into atlanta earlier. it looks like it should head this general direction. i think the stuff in oh either doesnt make it or that's tomorrow's potential after it rounds the trough.

Looks like you see the leading edge of the cold air on that. It looks like its the darker line that runs through east of Garrett Co almost due south, maybe a little SE. The surface obs would seem to back that up. If that's the case, it looks like it will be a while before it's even cold enough for snow in these parts.

yeah i think the arctic front is somewhere in that area though wv corresponds close to 500mb i believe so im not sure it's exactly the same spot as the surface. interestingly it's colder in the western half of nc than here.. 39 at rdu / 34 at charlotte, both with sw winds.

I'm riding the 18z nam hard...says it's snowing here around midnight.

there's still some moisture around.. either the arctic front itself of the vort moving north or a combo will spark some stuff off... i could see a spot or two doing not bad. maybe we can get a squall or two.

When you say "not bad" are you talking a half inch?

ground coating +? maybe 1/2-1" again if ideal... ground temps are warmer this go around, wet etc. need some cold soon. ;) of course nothing could happen as well... but that energy is just starting to nose in so we'll see over the next few hrs what's up probably.

Decent little slug of snow just north of Greensboro, NC. Nice to see some moisture making it over the mountains.

Yes, with a sw/ne movement/development. Still waiting on the cold push here, though. Looks like a few more hours and we'll be getting colder. Leading edge of arctic front crossing the divide in VA/MD/WV and will spill east. Still, looks like areas NE of Metro and ironically, possibly se, will do better than the most of us, but that is up for grabs. Crap storm, but I'm interested.

Any new thoughts from you?

not much change so far.. that vort should want to lift more north than northeast but overall the trough is slowly shifting east so i think we're good in general. temps are still an issue maybe but we should cool enough for something. hit or miss maybe but potentially some heavier spots?
