phlwx Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 For PHL, if you throw out the outliers on either side the mean on SREF is about 4.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I know we are still ironing out the details but does anyone have a rough time line of the storm. Most important would be if we change to snow, when the change over would occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dssbss Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I know up towards North/West (Berks County) we should be more frozen? Is the precip supposed to start for AM tomorrow in this area? I help to decide school delays and I am wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help to decide school delays and I am wondering. No, it looks like start time, at the earliest changeover/worst case scenario, would be around noon. Most likely occurs after 7pm.

RedSky Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 battle of the models euro vs american as usual. These situations usually work out as a compromise between them. euro has 6-9" upper bucks others would be 2-4" so i think best guess as of now is 3-6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quakertown needs snow Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 3-6" is a good estimate for our area Red, IMO at this time. Should beat my 4.1", biggest hit of the season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 SREF 12-hr snow probability from 03z run. These have been increasing in our area for past day or so. Probability over entire event would be higher to the NE where snow lasts more than 12-hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 9z srefs are the wettest yet for the metro area. 1.5 to ttn.. 1.25 to phl... 1 inc back to rdg... looks like atleast .25 frozen in phl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Interesting how the snowfall projections are moving closer and closer to climo of monster New England-NYC events. I know analogs and descriptions have suggested "miller b" climo but this isn't entirely accurate. For example, Jan 2005 had no southern stream s/w exploding up the East Coast. It was entirely northern stream. But anyway, usually there is a decent gradient between ILG and TTN with these as the northern stream s/w dives toward the DELMARVA. The caveat here is that we aren't waiting for cyclogenesis like a usual Miller B; we are waiting for it to phase with an already intensifying southern wave moving up the coast. Should be interesting to see that kind of moisture being thrown back into the deformation zone of the northern s/w. Could be a big, big storm now for N NJ-NYC...not just a run-of-the-mill winter storm warning event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it show, if you can see it, for back my way? I'd assume it's a bit less than RDG or ABE. Also, is it mostly/all frozen, or do we get significant p-type issues here as well?

That include the poconos region? I'm selling out and staying up @ a cabin by Camelback. And quick question, Seeing that this isn't purely Miller A, and not Miller B either, sort of a hybrid A/B? I know MIller A's are purely southern stream (maybe a quick transfer by the carolinas), and Miller B's are Northern stream redevelopers. This seems to me to fit between those 2?

In this case, I would assume 10:1 ratios and then we'll have a better look at the omega in the SGZ on the 12z runs to determine if we can get to 12-15:1. Definitely hope we can get a few posts from Tony about that, if need be. But usually we are near 10 or 12 to 1 in these setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 NAM looks better compared to 0z @ 18hours. Heavier qpf towards middle of the carolinas instead of the coast. Looks slightly stronger (2-4mbs)... Small improvements, but looks to be for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are going to benefit from the northern stream going negatively tilted and diving toward the DELMARVA coastline. The deformation zone will hang out over our region through about 9z Saturday or so. I would call this setup a hybrid for sure with a lean toward a miller A.

ChescoWx Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just ran Wxsim with 6z data and it has trended colder but I am now growing convinced this will be a much colder storm than currently modeled. Fresh cold air is drilling down from the NNE and I believe the Wxsim will bust quite a bit too high today (it currently has highs today here of 37 - I would bet we do not even get to freezing). Not saying this will be an all snow event but for areas N and W of the city I am thinking Steve D may be on to something that we never go to plain rain. Still believe this will be a greater than 5" storm here in NW Chesco which will make this the biggest storm of the winter to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
