yoda Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0248 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0952 PM CST TUE MAR 05 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...ERN WV...PORTIONS OF NRN/WRN VA...A LARGE PART OF MD...WASHINGTON DC...PORTIONS OF FAR SRN PA CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 060352Z - 060945Z SUMMARY...SNOW WITH RATES OF 1-1.5 IN/HR WILL SPREAD NEWD ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID ATLANTIC AND CNTRL APPALACHIANS OVERNIGHT. DISCUSSION...AS THE LEADING EDGE OF A STRONG MID-LEVEL PV MAX CONTINUES OVERTAKING A LOW-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER THE CAROLINAS...A SFC LOW IS DEVELOPING ALONG THE ATTENDANT FRONT IN CNTRL NC WHERE PRESSURE FALLS OF 3-4 MB PER 2 HOURS HAVE BEEN NOTED. AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS NEWD/NWD DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...A STRENGTHENING 850-700-MB FRONTOGENETIC CIRCULATION WILL SUPPORT INCREASING MESOSCALE ASCENT. IN TURN...PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT AMID AN ELEVATED WARM CONVEYOR BELT. WHILE LOW-LEVEL THERMAL PROFILES ARE INITIALLY MARGINAL FOR SNOW FROM THE DC AREA INTO NRN VA...THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF COOLING OWING TO FORCED ASCENT AND WET-BULB/NOCTURNAL EFFECTS SHOULD AID IN LOWERING WET-BULB ZERO HEIGHTS TOWARD THE SFC DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. FURTHERMORE...ISALLOBARIC FORCING SHOULD ALLOW LOW-LEVEL FLOW BACK AND BECOME MORE NLY...RESULTING IN COOLER AIR BEING DRAWN INTO THE REGION. AS SUCH...SNOW WILL BECOME THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE ACROSS THE AREA BY 06Z...WITH SNOW RATES INCREASING TO 1-1.5 IN/HR THEREAFTER. LOCALLY HIGHER RATES MAY OCCUR IN UPSLOPE-FAVORED AREAS AND RIDGETOPS OVER THE CNTRL APPALACHIANS. THESE RATES WILL LIKELY SPREAD NEWD WITH TIME...ROUGHLY IN TANDEM WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW...REACHING THE DC AREA MORE LIKELY AFTER 08Z. THESE RATES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH DAWN.

ravensrule Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can we get a Blizzard Warning? Is that even possible with such heavy wet snow.

Hank Scorpio Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 May have to take a ride to Snickers Gap on Rt 7, 1200 ft. Should be a nice scene tomorrow up there, but shenandoah natl park, would be awesome for this event 2-3K feet I guess it would be a bit treacherous, but if you went up blue ridge mountain road from 7, it'd take you straight up to almost 1800 feet.
