Bob Chill Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It wasn't directed at you (mostly towards midatlanticweather for this particular event but a general statement as well)... you're good in my book Ok, cool. I thought so but man, sometimes you never know how people interpret posting. Worlds apart from communicating face to face. An interesting ob right now is the more organized precip up in central pa. The name was showing 2 areas of h5 vorticity yesterday morning. One passing south near RIC and the other weaker area in central pa. Pretty obvious that the area in pa is doing it's job right now. Decent area of lift and organized precip. I was wondering if that would happen today. One of the damn hardest things about beeing an enthusiast is accurately applying what you see on a model to sensible weather at the surface. It's taken me just about 5 full years to get a decent handle on it. Then of course, weeding through piles of runs and deciding which ones are the most likely to occur. That's no easy task either. I'm always impressed with good forecasters. Not only do they know which models are most likely right, they also can read between the lines and outperform models with a forecast on a consistent basis.

PhineasC Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Light rain/snow at your elevation? That's never a good sign. I am in Aberdeen at the moment. My elevation here is about 2 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think we have to wait patiently to see if the models are right in there still being some precip left after 5 pm. 6-8 pm is the window I'm thinking for any accumulations, even just on grass.
