WxUSAF Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I thought the euro handled this better there? Not overall I'd say. Not to mention the GFS was steadfast in bringing it up your way for days while the Euro said "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Its a great city. And even nicer when you don't have to trudge through the snow and mud like they have to deal with up in New England this weekend...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It looked like the euro had less QPF which was red flag number one..at least on the 6/00z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 But who cares if a model flags something 5 days out, GFS had an epic fail for BOS within 60 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I thought the euro handled this better there? If you read the post storm (forecast fail) analysis from up there, the euro handled it better. Yeah the GFS sniffed out the precip getting up that way first, but beyond that not so great. Down here I would say it was a wash. Saw an article posted on CWG page about the forecast bust and the red flags etc, and the thought was the euro handled it better here as well. Sort of subjective as none of the models really nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 It looked like the euro had less QPF which was red flag number one..at least on the 6/00z run. Since the snow was already falling (and radar looked amped) by the time that run came out, it was a little late for red flags. Yeah, GFS did fail big in the short-term up your way, but did pretty well down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was going back over yesterday's observations from the station at home and saw that for about 5 minutes just after 4PM the temp/dew was 58.1/5.7 or 12% relative humidity. It's not very often we get RH's that low around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Forecast high this morning said 70...it hit 79 imby. Wow....I thought you had typo'd, looked and all of western WV was in mid to upper 70's, crazy! Hit 63 here yesterday, which was really nice. Funny walking in short sleeves and looking at snow on the mountains, feels like you are in Rockies when this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Lake Moomaw north of Covington, VA just hit full pond at midnight and opened the spillway to 379 cfs, highest amount released since June last year minus the one day in early October when they did a pulse test. Nice to see the rain and snow fill it and the nearby creeks and rivers after the dry summer and fall we had. Snow melt from Bath and Highland counties has the Jackson River and Back Creek running higher, which feeds into the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, GFS did fail big in the short-term up your way, but did pretty well down here. But even the runs before that showed the same..like 05/12z. Euro also had 925mb temps near 0C. That's awfully mild if you are very borderline at the surface. I noticed the GFS also barely had 950 temps below 0C as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 But even the runs before that showed the same..like 05/12z. Euro was quite consistent for the last few runs. It was on the low-end of the model suite, but it had DCA a bit over 1" and BWI at .84" on the 05/12z run. GFS was more, but not drastically so. DCA around 1.25-1.5" and BWI around 1.1". I went back and took a look in the model disco thread and someone posted that the 05/00z and 05/12z Euro had identical QPF amounts for Westminster, MD in both runs.

J.Mike Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's still not going to snow And after last week's bust, I dare the NWS issue a WSW for DC, even if the Euro shows a HECS 24 hours out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If this weekend taught me anything, it is that I love the seasonal transitions. Well, most of them. Summer to Fall - awesome. A break from the relentless heat, anticipating the leaves turning, possible tropical events Fall to Winter - awesome. Watching the models for any hint of snow, enjoying the holidays, a roaring fireplace Winter to Spring - awesome. That first weekend with nice temps and the warm sun. Flower starting to bloom. Looking ahead to thunderstorm season. Spring to Summer - no redeeming value. Impending doom of three months hopping from air conditioned home to car to work.

mattie g Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I played 18 yesterday in glorious conditions - absolutely perfect except for the occasional wind. We're looking to play again on the 23rd, so I'd like this talk of chilly weather to 'eff off. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
