Ji Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 this storm is not a bust yet despite what ians saying. I didnt realize we were supposed to have 3 inches by now. The blue qpf was always forecasted to be way south of us Sunday afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 this storm is not a bust yet despite what ians saying. I didnt realize we were supposed to have 3 inches by now. The blue qpf was always forecasted to be way south of us Sunday afternoon I didn't say it was a bust. Some folks mentioned total qpf incessantly like it mattered overall. I never expected anything by now. My low expectations were consistently in that post midnight to near sunrise timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The final penultimate kick in the head for this winter will be tomorrow when Philly gets crushed with 10 inches, and we have the quickly melting remnants of the 18th car topper of the year. Temp 40, dpt 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You all will get your 3-5 in the early morning... stop worrying about it. Can't blame the bridge-jumpers given the kind of winter that it has been. However, I think that most people will be feeling better by midnight when the radar starts looking better.

GATECH Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Flurries just started! My first flakes for my last best hope for 2 inches of snow in the last 786 days..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderman Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 SW flow across TN/KY running up against flow across VA/WV/OH has led to an area of low level frontogenisis. The resulting strong forcing has created, and should for the most part maintain, that area of heavy precipitation with embedded convection. It looks move into colder air over OH, WV, and possibly extreme western/southwestern VA. This band could drop several inches with even some lightning producing convection.

Ravenmaniac Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 DT woofing in regards to new SREF data. He's saying he's upping his totals for DCA and BALT! Says we can get hammered tonight and Monday. With how awful he has been this year (and then claims he was right when he is wrong), everyone from DC/BWI east should lower their expectations to at least half of what he says.

GATECH Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Bigger flakes now, looks impressive in the floodlights (but that ain't sayin much this year). Temp 38 Dp 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 idk if it matters but the precip in KY has a much more N/S orientation than the NAM said it would it's sitting on the low which is headed northeast and the 500 flow is still a bit pos tilted almost neg for the time being. it's the same general area of lift for us but you prob want to look at the southern (less impressive currently) end east of the wv/va border at least. most of it should look like it forms to the lee of the mtns as the other stuff might die out in passage anyway.

Huffwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It was clear that the first band was going to go south of DC area-- skim it at best. When the coastal gets energized by the ULL, DC gets something. I'm not sure how much. At 13.8 on the year. Our climo USE to be 18-21. I'm sure the 1980-2010 is a smidge lower. If we pull 3 over night (Very doubtful) we'd be at climo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
