Eskimo Joe Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Several brush fires in Carroll County this afternoon. Had one impinge on a house and actually caught it on fire. Another one along the Howard / Carroll line had two task forces on it earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ers-wxman1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I-81 corridor, Shenandoah valley will have shallow cold wedged in, light icing best bet there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Anyone looking at tonight's light icing event? Advisories up along and west of blue ridge Sure, likely not much a road problem as temps are in the mid-40's now but a glazing on elevated surfaces N/W of the fall line is probably a good bet. 18z 4KM NAM has 2mT going below freezing by 8z for elevations above ~400ft ASL. Edit: Looking over some bufkit soundings, what is interesting is that the GFS keeps the lowest 50mb colder than the NAM in most places. Usually it's the NAM that likes to over do the sfc inversions. Edit #2: Obviously Shenandoah Valley area is most vulnerable in these types of situations. I'm sure trixie (wxtrix) and those in the Winchester area will do well.

Enough to drive people nuts who want warm Wx :-) I got excited when I saw elevated CAPE on the NAM BUFR soundings for tomorrow afternoon. Sad times to be a convection lover (as I am).

Eventually I think we will have a fair share to go around with this progressive juiced pattern. Unfortunately for me that means many, many hours on the road doing damage surveys.
