WeatherFox Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Will it be a watch, warning or advisory for this weekends storm? NWS has been cautious. I will go with advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Bumped for the Thursday/Friday storm. I assume Mt Holly NWS is waiting for the 12Z runs for the PHL metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think they go with a warning for PHL for 4 to 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbourton Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Winter storm warning would have a high bust potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svh19044 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Watch for this afternoon, to be upgraded to warning at 12hours is more reasonable, but with the models trending in agreement with higher totals, it looks like we should meet the 24hr warning criteria. Either way, it's more of an impact for Friday morning so I see no need to jump to the warning this early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Winter storm warning would have a high bust potential. Not really. Only need 4 inches. Seems this can be met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not really. Only need 4 inches. Seems this can be met. Warning criteria is 6" in 12 hrs and 8" in 24 hrs N and W of Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svh19044 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Warning criteria is 6" in 12 hrs and 8" in 24 hrs N and W of Philly. Farther out N and W, sure. But the immediate 1/2 counties N and W of Philly, and including Philly are 4" in 12 hours and 6" at 24 hours. Or at least used to be. At any rate, the Watch was issued which seems to make more sense at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Do you guys have anything riding on whether it's an advisory, watch, or warning? I'm thinking of a job where maybe you go on standby or get called in in that event, etc. I imagine PennDOT, for example, would be plugged into the forecast and make their decisions based on all the info they can gather, as opposed to something being triggered by an advisory or watch/warning going up. I don't know, that's why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, that's why I'm asking. I don't snow plow anymore, but when we had the contract, it would be "Advisory, be prepared to get called in", "Watch, you WILL be called in", "Warning, get your equipment ready and get some sleep". It was the easiest way of giving everyone a heads up as to whether or not they would get called in or what exactly to do as far as equipment was concerned, without being personally notified. In reality, everyone paid more attention to snow amounts or ice over the warning criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Storm - 1/21 - 1/22. I suspect a warning for 6-12 inches for the I 95 counts & SE. Warning for 5-8 inches for NW counties. Waiting for the call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
