Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Does your site have a 12 hour total? yeah it just all comes in 6 hours but i guess you want your area... here's 15 hours: http://www.twisterdata.com/data/models/rap/255/maps/2013/01/31/21/RAP_255_2013013121_F17_PCPIN_15_HR.png there is more after to the NE but it puts a label right over DC which makes it hard to see the contours.

I know it's cliche, but there really is a long way to go. A lot can happen fast in the right circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ian. Looks to really get going after its past me. That area just to your east looks sweet. This might just be the DC surprise you guys have needed. I know this....I trust the RAP. It's been really good, IMO. I've followed it closely in every event so far. It tends to waver in the 12+ range, but is usually solid inside of that.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The latest run on the site I always use is 17z. And that always seems ironic to me. It's 23z and the RAPID update is 6 hours old. The GFS updates more rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because it's not operational as far as I know. It's still in testing and such - doesn't always get the supercomputer time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm using the same site as you. I've never tried anywhere else. I suppose it probably doesn't matter which site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hmmm...short-range models are pretty impressive. I can't get myself overly excited - probably a hangover from the summertime deluge yesterday. But fess up. How many people did this one sneak up on?

MN Transplant Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I like being in the bullseye within 18hrs, but there is little margin for error with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 One of the ways to get accum snow east of the mtns with systems like this is to get a surface low to get going and deepen as it passes. Rap looks nice. Some of our biggest surprises have come from lows that pop and crank just to the south of us. This one definitely will not be a big surprise but the n side band could be really sweet for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm pretty sure he said something last week along the lines of giving up all his snow for a Ravens win, so he needs to be careful. Oh I am careful, I never said I would be upset if it busted. If the Ravens can win I will be so drunk on Bourbon street I probably will not make it home until after the parade of clippers anyway.

gymengineer Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sitting at 30 here...gfs loves back here more than nam and rap. Hope it works out for someone tonight The RAP is doing its usual pulsing between runs towards the end of its range. It's probably not that useful until after 10 pm tonight.
