Avdave Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 At least according to radar anywhere from Laurel running up NE to Havre de Grace should see some flurries or a snow shower coming down. Eastern Balto county as well. Just gonna depend on how dry the air is, radar is returning 20-24dbz in that region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Looks like we "wasted" a lot of the brighter returns to raise the dewpoint enough for snow to reach the surface. [weenie] That will make it easier for snow from the 2nd s/w to reach the surface [/weenie] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think round 2 will be better. there might not be a round two. though the vort is back north a bit on the nam.. nothing on reflectivity tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was about to say, that actually is a dry sounding. It's the surface that sucks right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 0Z sounding shows air was not that dry http://vortex.plymou...el&size=640x480 i think people are generally happy perpetuating myths (dew points too low etc) that fit their story. it will snow with RH 40+.. it happens plenty. most every storm starts with some virga. this is a crappy vort.. if lwx would switch out of clear air mode radar would look pretty poor.

chris87 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 well, that just goes to show you what a great winter this is going to be.... you need vertical motion and moisture to get precipitation...tonight we barely had either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
