paweather Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I know we are all focus on this storm today but the GFS has a one two punch for Sunday. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/ImageFourPanel.php?model=gfs&area=namer&cycle=12&fhr=090¶m=200_wnd_ht|500_vort_ht|1000_500_thick|850_temp_ht&size=medium Looks good.

sauss06 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 looking at the radar, it does seem like precip will be moving in earlier then i thought. I have friends heading to Iowa to hunt, the pictures i'm seeing on their drive out is interesting. Last pics i saw they were around Indy, roads looked fooked!

paweather Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i saw that, temps are questionable though, looks warm Most definite rain to start for us but it quickly changes to snow as the low passes us to the coast. This would be a good thump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 No matter what the total, the morning/afternoon will be annoying lol. Regarding what paweather posted - I'm assuming that's a classic case of most of the progged precip having fallen before the upper air becomes conducive for snow.

Regarding what paweather posted - I'm assuming that's a classic case of most of the progged precip having fallen before the upper air becomes conducive for snow. I'm no expert but it certainly looks like low passes right to our south mason dixon line and then up the coast. To my untrained eye that is a rain to snow scenario. But lots to talk about with today's storm. We can see what the Euro has for Sunday later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sorry to jump ahead of this storm also but taken verbatim the 12Z GFS shows a freezing rain to snow scenario for later Sunday into Monday followed by the coldest air to invade PA since 1994. It shows even Harrisburg area dropping to around -6F overnight Monday into Tuesday. Temp is still below zero at 10AM Tuesday, then only rises to a high of around 10F Tuesday afternoon before dropping back to around -4F Tuesday night and still keeping highs on Wednesday in the teens. I wonder what the high temp was at MDT back in Jan 1994 on the day when the morning temp dropped to 22F below??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
