BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Clipper looks ok, on NAM, it would probably fade out on next frame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, im with ya I dont really care about the Clipper, but it probably will influence what the Xmas storm may do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analog96 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I don't buy the clipper dying out like that, bs. Watch it. Very easy and normal to happen, why do you not buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsnowlover Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 here in cent md we'll be luck y to see 3-4 hrs of snow from the clipper. I donmt buy the xmas day storm. We've been mislead before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Very easy and normal to happen, why do you not buy it? What do you mean? The storm which you said being closer to the coast this weekend would help our clipper is incorrect. The trough would disallow the proper track for C Mid-Atl snowfall. Lately, I haven't seen one die like that. Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well, I guess I'm on the xmas storm boat. Its been pretty consistent and is starting to get within the "real" time frame. Most importantly, even if the phasing doesn't work out, it would still snow for most. I'm at hour 150 and it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 That would be historic for DC and environs. Likely not going to happen as depicted. Check out the QPF maps.

varicweather Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Deepening trough off the West coast of N.A. really pumping up the ridge out West; see if this holds in the coming week http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/npac/gfs/12/fp0_162.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens, I hope it clears up by Christmas night for the DC area... supposed to be driving those mountain roads to WV the next day. Ugh.

Terpeast Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'd be flying in from Dallas to DCA in the afternoon of the 25th. If it happens exactly like 12z GFS today, my flight will probably be canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I know its still a ways out, but you have to love the relative consistency here....I hate to keep saying it but I will...This system should be easier to handle for the models as its a west to east system and not many other features to deal with as this weekend.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate being in the bullseye this far out. Congrats Boston. It certainly could go somewhere else. The mean pattern is much better than what it's been so this is the first real threat for a snowstorm. The d+8 spits out two snowstorms that ended up having mixing issues but still were big ones. That suggests that the chances for a storm are quite a bit higher than climo. That said, it's wise not to get too excited too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 NINA's don't generally produce storms that large...for the DC area at least. It has happened but that is one monster right there. Signals are there for some snow and that is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
