djr5001 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm at a total loss and I don't bash them. How can you have that up with a warning text that's totally different. Makes no sense. they edited the warning text to read 6-12 for Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and up to Bloomsburg... that is now 3 different text forecast totals in the past 5 hours for this region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Advisory for 3 to 7 issued for remaining counties. I'll wager a couple of those counties end up with warnings during the event, especially in the southwest (ie Somerset). Kind of a weird range.

snowalot Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 they edited the warning text to read 6-12 for Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and up to Bloomsburg... that is now 3 different text forecast totals in the past 5 hours for this region I believe that is due to the fact that the warning area is much larger. They haven't broken out the warnings by region of PA (LSV vs True Central, etc) , just looks like everybody is grouped together so I think that is why you have the range of 6-12.

I dont have a problem with a 6-12 forecast due to the nature of this system its just hard to effectively get word out when there are 3 different amounts in a 5-6 hour period before storm even starts... we went from 6-10 to 8 to 12 to now 6 to 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The warning itself covers I-99 through the Poconos in the text, right? They're just blanketing a very wide range. Although it did seem like their latest graphic lowered totals a bit. You'll have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0095 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0541 PM CST WED FEB 12 2014 AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 122341Z - 130515Z SUMMARY...A LARGE SWATH OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL DEVELOP NEWD THIS EVENING WITH RATES OF 1-2 IN/HR. THE MOST PERSISTENT BAND SHOULD EXIST ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PIEDMONT FROM NWRN NC TO CNTRL VA THROUGH ABOUT 03Z AND INTO THE WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA BY 06Z. DISCUSSION...23Z SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CONFIRM A BROAD AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AS FAR N AS THE I-64 CORRIDOR IN VA/WV. 12Z CONVECTION-ALLOWING WRF GUIDANCE GENERALLY APPEARS TOO SLOW WITH NRN EXTENT /OUTSIDE OF THE NSSL-WRF/ COMPARED TO RADAR/SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. CONSENSUS OF CONVECTIVELY-PARAMETERIZED GUIDANCE APPEAR CLOSER TO REALITY...WITH 15Z SREF MEAN AND 18Z NAM SUGGESTIVE OF SNOWFALL RATES AVERAGING 1-2 IN/HR. THIS APPEARS REASONABLE GIVEN INTENSE FRONTOGENESIS/ISENTROPIC LIFT DOWNSTREAM OF A VIGOROUS AND STILL AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST. THE MOST PERSISTENT BAND OF HEAVY SNOW WILL LIKELY EMANATE NEWD FROM THE NWRN NC/SWRN VA AREA TOWARDS THE WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA BETWEEN 03-06Z. ..GRAMS.. 02/12/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You know, I felt optimistic for UNV area before, but now...I don't know. Something doesn't feel right...especially with how the short-term models are looking. I wouldn't worry. In Sterling's afternoon discussion they noted the water vapor was looking more like the Euro. Plus they noted how the NAM and GFS were off also. I guess it depends on what your expectations are. What are you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
