Buddy1987 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 39 hr timeframe has .50 of QPF in western and central TN and all the way to southern KY whereas with the 18z never had .50 that far north hope this translates to better things in the coming frames.

Younar Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I could swear RIC had over a foot in the end of Jan 2000 storm, maybe not at the airport but in the west end I swear we did I was a sophomore at UR for that one and I measured 14". That was a fun awesome storm... Beer pong and blizzards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The original RIC total for 2000 was 12.5" but they revised it down years later. According to the snowfall map put out by LWX they should have recorded somewhere in the neighborhood of 14". Same thing for 1996. But given their history, an accurate measurement is far too much to ask for. On topic, yes, this does look like a 1-3" event down here. Dry air is always a concern though. Wouldn't be surprised if this thing was extremely lame. Clipper-esque setups don't have a great track record for Central VA and south. +1 and note the date at the top of each graphic!

PhineasC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 >0.2" QPF for DCA/IAD/BWI Very nice. One more uptick in precip and we are talking an easy 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Looks like BWI is around 0.20... IAD 0.25.... and DCA 0.3 on the 00z NAM run through 57. 850s have -10 line close by the LWX CWA as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Again, you could see it coming early. Trend continues. Let's hope GFS continues. very subtle 18-24 hrs, but once to 39 and 42, much clearer 48 hrs it was a no-brainer the improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 NAM is getting much better for the RNK CWA-- wasn't bad before. Shows nice lift forming over Kent and moving east along the VA/NC line, albeit damping out as it moves east. Still, qpf is up-- it actually starts about the same time down here.

mitchnick Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 more good news is the fact that the storm is strengthening so there is some enhancements to the qpf closer to the ocean as a result, the snow hole shifts SW and is not as drastic http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/Image.php?model=nam&area=namer¶m=precip_p36&cycle=00ℑ=nam%2F00%2Fnam_namer_057_precip_p36.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Great to hear this is trending a little better. If we're not getting anything significant, then I just want 2". Haven't seen that much in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 looks like the ns vort is a hair slower allowing for a slight nudge north in precip. the orientation of the precip is a little better as well. anyway, we'll see what the gfs does.

He switched to the Philly forum ages ago even though he lives in Gaithersburg , some kind of protest about how much he loves the posters in the MA. Marc we love you come back .
