snowdude Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sterling has expanded the Winter Storm Watch to include Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's. I was expecting that. I thought they should have been included with the original Watch but they're being cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Watch has been split into 2 discos (was one huge one in the AM).. the one that includes DC metro has wording for "a foot or more" somewhere in the watch area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This action makes it sound like they are leaning toward the NAM/GFS combo... perhaps a bit more NAMish re temp profiles Yeah, noticed the watch was expanded a tad southeast. Also, the gridpoint temps for the max on Wednesday were dropped a couple of degrees it appears (I mostly clicked around NW DC/SE MoCo, but the District itself also looks like they knocked a couple degrees off too). Whatever that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNO Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does this support a SE movement of the "jackpot" area? I would say no. They should have warning critera amounts of snow, but best totals should be in Shenandoah Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does this support a SE movement of the "jackpot" area? I think it's just precautionary as all watches are. They can turn a Watch into a WWA now just as well as a WS Warning. It's supposed to be for "potential of 5" of snow or greater" and I think that's certainly a potential scenario for southern MD.

Ian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 euro should be a touch north based on 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The euro is north of 0z...not sure how that will affect QPF yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 yeah at least a smidge north.. still clocks SW of DC best but should be better into dc area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 The euro is north of 0z...not sure how that will affect QPF yet I need an o face. Honestly I'd be shocked if it didn't come at least a little north. I don't really expect anything dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 sounds to me like we're really getting better consensus now and that temps are going to start being the next main focus (if they haven't already). side note: it sure does feel chilly outside for early march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 gets 1"+ north of the potomac.. so everyone bumps a bit except maybe west snow map looks pretty similar but pushes east slightly (again--did the same last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for the early Euro updates, guys. Like zwyts said, the Euro is so solid, that for it to nudge the precip a little north on consecutive runs is a great trend for those of us closer to the northern edge and more in need of rates.
