12Z GFS ensembles seem to show a super soaker early next week that could have interesting implications for the highest elevations. The rest of the run also has lots of precip, but torchy. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&CONT=namk&MODELL=gefs&MODELLTYP=2&VAR=prec&WMO=&ZOOM=0&RES=0&PERIOD=&PANEL=0&ARCHIV=0&BASE=201411111200%26HH%3D144

Don't know about the Euro, but both GFSes give us at least some flakes. 

GFS P actually puts down 1-2" Sun/Mon. 850s are good, and the surface is below freezing.

 

Also, it looks like the GFS P was setting up something nice for the 22nd at 240. WxBell only goes out to 240, so does anyone know what happened after that?

The para GFS kind of gives a weird look though, I think. We have two lows, one over SC and another off the NC coast Monday afternoon. The one off the coast moves on, but the SC low meanders for a while before strengthening and scooting up the coast Tuesday.

 

Seems strange, but maybe I am missing something?

 

Missing the fact that it's a day 6-7 solution?

The most troubling part of the next 10 days on the ops and ensembles is too many solutions with lp where we need hp. Even a 1010mb lp near the lakes is enough to cause big problems. We need everything to go right.

The only really good run was the euro when it showed a wall of 1030hp. But there is a consistent theme of having problematic midlevels north of us.

Looks like many see flakes Friday and Sunday night. Past day 9 looks to be warm but that's LA LA land.

Regular GFS shows IAD with a bit of accumulating snow, but I would bet against that idea the way things have been shaping up.

Every system looks torchy on the 0Z GFS with the para being warmest.

 

 

Rather lousy setup. We loose are surface cold before the precip moves in and then we have to wait for more to arrive. There is no strong pressure gradient to push it over the mountains before the precip ends, unless the low really bombs over Virginia beach. In other words I'm betting on surface temps closer to the GFS parallel.

850s look OK to me for most west burbs of DC/. balt. Surface temps low -mid 30s lokking on weatherbell

I just checked IAD Bufkit sounding and the surface temperature is slightly above freezing while the dewpoint is slightly below around hr 135.

Doubt it will come true but the 0z GGEM has next Tuesday's high around freezing and lows Wednesday Morning in the Low to Mid teens. GGEM puts out odd temperature situations sometimes, Leesburg is the coldest location on the East Coast at the time while the Canadian border with Northern NY up near Massena is in the Mid 20s. The old GFS isn't that far from it though. Maybe we can sneak in Upper teens in the Cold burbs

if we can get some front end snow that changes to rain, that's a victory for mid-late NOV in my weenie mind

secondly, I just want the Nov qpf as high possible as Nov's w/qpf < 2.25" are rarely followed by AN snowfall winters; it's happened a few times, but for whatever reason(s) AN qpf Nov's have better snow results than the well below qpf's

 

This comment got me interested, so I was doing a cursory check of BWI Nov. precip over the last 15 years and how it compares to seasonal snowfall... with the exception of Nov. 2006 and last year, the correlation is shockingly high. I'm going to look into this more.
