through 36, our ULL orientation is slightly more NEg, SLP is a bit stronger (4mb), and the energy over NY/NE is a bit more noticable.

 

It is amazing how "accuracy" on medium range models can be justified quantitatively through NH 500mb error (and rightfully so) but not actually get the evolution right at all, locally.

The piece coming back underneath the block from the NW Atlantic will end up bringing this north like a few of the runs last week when the Great Lakes wave was trying to phase. A completely different scenario for sure but perhaps glazed over under the guise of SLP/500mb anomalies.

and the GFS vs EURO epic march battle continues... shift N on the euro, but still not as amp'd/N as the GFS. the .5"-.75" qpf line barely makes in 10 miles into PA parallel to the mason dixon line by hour 72. (total qpf, not 6hr)

screaming east wind, temps in upper 30's on the EC in Philly...that's not snow...and even those bands aren't that heavy to cause dynamic cooling.

 

Some of ya'll need to take the snow goggles off.  Yes, it *can* snow but you need more than sub zero 850's to get it to snow in March.

wtf is wrong with DT? His latest post "12z euro still south, keep dreaming NYC and NE"

What kind of arrogance is that? Unreal

More like 50 and about  8-10 mb of strengthening would be needed.

agreed. Euro, while N, is still a dreary look to it. (cold and wet).... the precip rates suck,a dn not sure how we manage to pull off .5" of QPF in the immediate phl metro..

The gradient is tight as hell though. Still, the euro trended towards the GFS, but i have to wonder if the GFS takes a step backwards.

Walt Drag special 12PM update!

SNOW: THERMAL PROFILES IN THE LOWEST 1000 FEET ABOVE FREEZING

INCLUDING MAX WET BULBS NEAR 2C IN THE LOWEST 0-6KM ON BOTH THE

NAM/GFS WERE PRECLUDING MUCH ACCUM DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS WED

WITH POSSIBLY THE EXCEPTION BEING ELEVATIONS OF KPHL OUT TO KRDG.

 

:wub:  Looks to be another in a series of Western Chesco elevation specials!

Tom, can you tell if the rates in NE MD and Northern DE are significantly different from those in Philly? There are quite a few of us in this sub-forum and it's largely a mystery to us what to believe when presented with the glowing commentary in the MA forum and the stark realistm commentary in the PHI forum.

I'm not Tom, but I can tell you that they look pretty abysmal near the PA & MD/DE border...  better rates down towards Balt.

I think right now we have to see how much would fall late Wednesday into Wednesday night in terms of snow.  That would be the best time to get any accumulation.  Still very shaky in terms of getting snow say if your near Philly and interior South Jersey.  I think the Euro is trending toward the GFS a bit.  Still, a very complicated forecast.

Another 30 miles on the euro could bury phl.

 

Agree that is an overstatement. Going to be difficult to get good snows into phl. Still shifting the Euro a little north wouldn't be a bad outcome for areas with elevation and would produce some wet snow at low elevations.even if accumulations were limited.

hour 60 -- .25 runs from the E Shore of MD NE to DOV to Longport, SE of E Shore to Bethany.

hour 54 -- .25 runs south of Manchester MD SE to BWI to W of Salisbury.  .50 near Mt. Vernon, VA and south.

hour 48 -- .25 runs south of Lewes to Manchester MD.  .50 over WV/VA border.
