10% chance of nothing

10% chance of drizzle

10% chance of less than one inch

10% chance of 1.0 - 1.5 inches

10% chance of 1.5 - 2.0 inches

10% chance of 2.0 - 2.5 inches

10% chance of 2.5 - 3.0 inches

10% chance of 3.0 - 3.5 inches

10% chance of more than 3.5 inches but less than 5 inches

10% chance of more than 5 inches but less than 36 inches

 

This is a very useful forecast for people trying to figure out what kind of weather conditions to expect.

 

im not totally sold as a fan. i think there are other ways to express uncertainty. even giving 4 solutions with three that have almost equal weight is a little questionable sometimes.

 

this time of year particularly if you miss an initial condition you can see an entire forecast fail, so maybe in reality those three scenarios are close to equal but im not sure it adds a whole lot on what people could expect. might as well just say it could be rain or snow or snow or something. <-- short sentence better than 4 para saying same thing.

Looks good, although I would remove the 10% chance of nothing and move it to the 1.0-1.5 inch zone. :popcorn:

pretty much the same.. even nam mos thinks its going to be mid-30s in dc for a high. we'll see i guess. 3 weeks of climo mostly cancels out any better air mass. i could maybe see temps like 1-3 colder this go just with better wind flow?

Yeah, I would definitely go on the lower end of the MOS envelope ... especially south.

this night is sad in a way that's its our last late night model all nighter of the season. Withdrawal coming soon. Nobody who is still awake would be awake if deep in the back of our minds, we didnt think this has the potential of being a special storm

Or they are a masochist...or sadistic...

As reluctant as I am to say that I am in the same boat as you are, I agree.

Personally I am stoked for this storm... I was not a fan of the 3/6 storm as a storm coming straight out of the Midwest never works out in March.  However, a storm redeveloping on the coast have much more potential... and if we can get a base coat before sunrise we are in business.   The only thing I fear is the redevelopment too far north.

There seems to be a much more potent severe side to this storm compared to 3/6. Would have to think that's a good sign. Have a feeling this storm may surprise. Talked to a lot of people tonight who had no idea it's supposed to snow. I'm thinking about heading down to snowshoe tomorrow. Should be a great storm down there. Looks like a good northwest flow for the appalachians as the storm departs too. How much you think they can get out of this setup?
