Ian Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think the GFS ran warm in a few storms earlier in the year. In a close call I wouldn't necessarily flip out about it. Tough call on the edge tho.. DC could get 12" or 1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough call on the edge tho.. DC could get 12" or 1.5". We've done OK in some marginal situations this year when we've had decent rates. Issue in the storms earlier this winter was the total lack of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wasn't this the same problem in Jan 11? NAM was like this and GFS was a tad warm and there was the fight till the end, which the NAM won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough call on the edge tho.. DC could get 12" or 1.5". GFS is remarkably cooler down here-- not saying it matters to you, but wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 We've done OK in some marginal situations this year when we've had decent rates. Issue in the storms earlier this winter was the total lack of precip. The NAM dissing goes too far quite often. In this range, and with it not moving much, I'd sorta think it might have the profile better. If it bails in the next few runs along with other guidance then there's trouble... My guess is the Euro either holds or is slightly better than 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 A wildcard will always remain with the deform band. Or any heavy band for that matter. Even with the sne blizzard, I can't think of a single model that pegged central/western ct with precip max. Not apples to apple's but no model is going to nail that. The pivot and banding will be intense for some of us. My wag is parrs. Good climo location and orographics. Blue ridge and Winchester area have been lasered on the models but somebody in md should get hit pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think these mid atlantic winter storms were the genesis of internet weather boards. The boards have broadened their products and areas. But This is why we came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm going to work in Hagerstown Wednesday. I looked carefully at the NAM and I am almost sure the NW Band has a better chance of being over them. Plus, it has 640ft elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
