wxmeddler Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 think most models showed this in some fashion Not the model soundings I looked at. (GFS/NAM/NAM4km) All of them had the switchover to sleet for an hour but nobody had "white astroids" for the metro area. No way, warm nose was too warm or precip was too late.

snowfan Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dad just called from 83 in mappys area to tell me there were big fatties falling from the sky. Here at home my windows are being hammered by sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 mattmfm asked on twitter if we've had wintry precip on a day that got to 70 before. I see three cold season dates with a T and a 70+ huff and at least one was hail.. Apr 3 2006. So quite unusual for dca if it goes down as a trace.

MN Transplant Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dulles reporting rain. Must mainly be the big band. Yeah, it is the oranges. The flakes are sticking a little to the car. If it keeps going for a while I might be tempted to go 0.1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I didn't look at many soundings but the maps of many models suggested the idea esp in banding. We've mentioned the risk at CWG for a few days now.. the GFS algorithms had us turning over around this time for a while too. Euro may be closer with sfc temps but perhaps in the middle of the cold Americans and it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 whoops. All snow in the band. Enjoying it flying around on the street lamp, but doubt it's going to stick anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
