AvantHiatus Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's not looking good. Tonight is important for BL temperatures and we could cool down nicely but the clouds are moving in quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 This is the kind of forecast that you just put out, say "I hope it works" and then get ready to nowcast for because this thing's going to be all over the place tomorrow. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/blog/16/entry-80-mid-atlantic-snow-forecast-for-february-13-onlyfinal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvantHiatus Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Very bullish forecast, it's likely that the storm will begin as rain for everyone. The backside should be decent if the NAM and GFS are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowanBrandon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 At hr 12, the 850 line is probably about 400-500 miles further north than hr 18 on the 18z. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible. It collapses south quickly at hr 15 but it's an illusion as the depth of the cold air is very shallow and is easily displaced by Warm Air Advection.

NortheastPAWx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A quick note about the SREFs. Eskimo Joe posted this today in the C PA thread/forum. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/39113-central-pa-february-2013/?p=2115313 "I spoke with a met one of the Emergency Response Specialist Mets from Sterling during the last event about the SREF. He informed me that SREFs have a tendency to waffle 12 - 24 hours before events and should be used with caution. The exact cause is unknown at this time, but there is active research ongoing to find a fix for the issue. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanBrandon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Looks like it's coming in weaker and flatter. EDIT: Ends up about the same, maybe slightly further east than 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just a little slower to get the coastal going. No major changes but a little drier away from the shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think, if the NAM is right Philly would get a 3-4hr snow period between like 7pm and 11pm...1-3" seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 This vort seems pretty strong. These suckers, imo, have a tendency to surprise. I think a local area that gets lucky, and I'm thinking someone in NJ towards C-E NJ could see 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
