mitchnick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The sun/cloud gradient is interesting, though the darker skies are starting to overspread my area. that's what I saw about 20 minutes ago on the way to the office....give around 15-25 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Actually an interesting double lift / enhancement pattern emerging from the current radar and it picked up by some ensembles but I couldn't figure out what it was. IN RED: Lift associated with 500mb divergence and 700mb lift, best "sypnoptic" lift if you will. IN GREEN: Lift associated with 850mb wind convergence and the surface/low level temp gradient. Congrats Fredrick Co. 012114_1400z_h7and5liftred_vs_850sfcfront.PNG So in the area where the 2 overlap is the best spot to be for this one?.

Huffwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 At 9 am I have exact 2.0 inches, still snowing pretty good, but flake size has been cut in half. Good to see a small backbuilding to my W and SW, line was getting close! Radar looks good for those west of 81 in the mts. Had that band fall apart here and nothing has fallen as of now. But, I'm encouraged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am closing in on my first inch in Purcellvillem and the snow really increased the last 20 minutes! The visibility is down! Getting close to moderate to heavy stuff! Started the day with temp of 33 but it fell to 27 and is content to stay there for now! GFS looks crazy, but I am liking what I see... I AM hoping this stuff gets east and gets everyone soon! WOW! Visibilities have dropped even more while posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 DCA at 33.5 according to Tucker Barnes on Ch 5 That seems unlikely. I'm at 33.6 and none of the PWSs are below 34 around DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
