Mama2Many Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 IIRC - if I remember correctly Aoa - at or above normal temps Aob - at or below normal temps Ens - ensemle model suite H85 / H7 / h5 - different levels of the atmosphere. Lower # higher altitude. Shorthand for 850 millibars, 700 millibars etc +tssn - what I expect to experience tomor Thanks! DCA=Reagan National IAD=Dulles BWI=BWI RIC=Richmond CHO=Charlottesville (?) SBY=Salisbury YES!!! What about MBY? Like DCA? Those types? Whenever you see one just type it in (usually with a K out in front) and you'll get a result. Type it like that here in the post section?

wawarriors4 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 DCA=Reagan National IAD=Dulles BWI=BWI RIC=Richmond CHO=Charlottesville (?) SBY=Salisbury EZF is Frederickaburg, VA JYO is Leesburg, VA. They are airport codes, put a K in front of the three letters and use google and it will help you identify the airport or station code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 are you expecting a chance of +tssn for the majority of the area, or just expectations for you backyard? and other stupid question, but IMHO it seems more likely then +tssn, could you see areas near the coast getting Blizzard Warnings? It was mostly in jest. I expect isolated reports if a serious band sets up or maybe some closer to the low at the height of its intensification Blizzard conditions maybe be experienced briefly by some but meeting criteria prob stands little chance.

I expect isolated reports if a serious band sets up or maybe some closer to the low at the height of its intensification Blizzard conditions maybe be experienced briefly by some but meeting criteria prob stands little chance. Here is the criteria for blizzard warning A Blizzard Warning means that the following conditions are occurring or expected within the next 12 to 18 hours. 1) Snow and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or less for 3 hours or longer AND 2) Sustained winds of 35 mph or greater or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater. There is no temperature requirement that must be met to achieve blizzard conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 21z SREFs another solid hit for the area. 0.5" mean. Brought it a little back towards the I-81 corridor. Very encouraging to continue to see these upward QPF trends <=12 hrs from game time. Lets hope the 00z suite holds with the 18z suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, thats how I read it. Similarly, I think the 700 vertical velocity map is useful to determine lift (if I have that right mets)? Yes, 700 omega/vertical velocity is the most important for visualizing where the heaviest precip is falling at a given time. Easiest way to look at it is the more concentric circles there are over your house the happier you will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just found this loon. He is my #1 pick for best forecaster of 2014, just beating DT. http://www.facebook.com/WxSynopsis Here is a snippet. THE GFS IS A BRUTAL BOMB....VERY NASTY SUB 990LOW COASTAL STORM BOMBING OFF THE COAST, DUMPING SNOW AT RATES OF 2-3IN AT ITS PEAK. WINDS ARE VERY NASTY ON THIS RUN. BEST OF ALL, THE GFS HAS ALL OF VA AT.50 OR HIGHER QPF. SNOW RATIO PUSHING 30:1 ON THIS RUN. ... ALL OF VA, EVERY SQUARE INCH SHOULD NOW PREPARE FOR A MAJOR SNOWSTORM. WIDESPREAD CONDITIONS WILL BE NEAR BLIZZARD CRITERIA. PLEASE PREPARE TONIGHT AND **DO NOT** TRAVEL TOMORROW, STAY OFF THE ROADS EDIT: This was supposed to be the banter thread...
