stormtracker Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 GFS got this weird funky 100 closed low thing going at 105hr. That's new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Climo didn't stop 1962 and 1993, just sayin We can probably in theory get a big (4"+) snow through about April 1 into the cities maybe even a smidge later if it is perfect. But those storms you note are anomalies of course. We are at the point already that we sorta need something special or at least something well built.

Ji Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Omg just saw the run. Wait till the DC weenies wake up and see this impossible event. Being on the west coast is amazing to watch model runs. Euro stars at 945 pm lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The 6z GFS kinda has it too, just slides it off the coast south of us, but it also has a storm. Maybe worth keeping half an eye on. Beats tracking 40 degree highs and clouds anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The panel in question from the Euro that Will, Ji and Wx referenced: With my limited access to Euro maps I may be off but for those in the DC and Baltimore corridor that look to me, with the easterly fetch off the ocean, suggests major BL issues until you get out a good bit to the north and west of the cities or have some decent elevation to play with. I would think this basically implies a mostly sleet and potentially freezing rain storm for the 95 corridor. There would probably be some front end snow as well as back-end snow as the winds shifted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just saw the euro. Holy crap. Looks like an Ashe wed replay only a little colder. Given how the h5 has looked on the ensembles the last few days I've been waiting for an op run to show this kind of solution. Given the pattern this is def one of the permutations. Now if we could just buy this and lock it in wonder how much we could raise in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details 8 days out is crazy but as is dc would have mixing issues during the height of the storm but some front end snow and a ton of back end as the low drifts east.

We have been over two years since an area-wide WSW criteria event of any kind. If that map yields 2-4 inches of anything frozen this deep into March, its a win. For gawdssake, it probably won't even be there at the run this afternoon. First things first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen several storms similar in setup throughout the years where you would think major snowstorm and yet besides some front end snow and a little backend we end up with a major sleet storm with highs in the mid to upper 20's. But again we are talking 8 days out so it is pretty irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Need consistency before giving this any hope of actually happening Its consistent in that at least it is showing a system in our part of the country too. Better than it showing dry and cold with everything squished (if you are irrationally hoping for a storm...which I am). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This should be called "please no new thread storm". Leave it be! Anyway, great eye candy for now. Pattern is ripening. Interested to see if GFS has anything close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just discussing what the model itself showed. Considering that this is 8 days out I would think you would understand this is nothing more then speculation and learning how to read and decipher what the model itself shows. Do I need to put a disclaimer on everything I post even for the most obvious things? Let me know if that would satisfy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind analyzing a model run even if its unlikely to happen. It's a learning experience. Your right the low gets a bit to close but a few factors to consider. These march storms can be very intense and wrap up tight. At some point the low occludes and that cuts off waa. Also these lows that cut off and stall then drift east like Ashe wed 62 and march 58 can produce major back end snow. Usually with a storm moving on a northward trajectory if it passes too close you dry slot or change over then by the time the low moves far enough east it's also north of us and its over. With a storm sliding east we do get wrap around. So yes dc would have mixing issues but this would still end up a big snow there and historic for iAd and jyo.

midatlanticweather Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We should analyze every reason why it will fail and hug the failure and not the model runs! If it comes true we will be surprised and not disappointed when it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hmmm...Euro ensembles have a baggy low offshore at the same time. GEFS sort of have something. Certainly a time frame to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 this storm has slowly come north over the past 2+ days of runs one would have to think it will continue to move north, but the dark and pretty colors over us from massive qpf are nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
