hosj III Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 will let you know if a few minutes. incoming this a way good to seeing you posting. what are your analysis on tonight's good stuff? I guess if you have a thing for pouring rain you could call it good stuff. Seriously though, the early snow is kind of encouraging. Maybe some people pick up a slushy half inch to inch on grass/cartops when they weren't expecting much. Tho given the fact that it will be long gone by the time people wake up it probably won't make much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 could be a suspect commute for those heading home. flurries/mix have commenced by the 270 split. i have a feeling some of the north burbs could get messy. maybe even closer to town for a bit.

North Balti Zen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is the kind of temps and hoping for a miracle I would expect in mid-March for a system - a bitter pill for this to be the set-up on January 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 probably bright banding.. its right around the changeover zone. Seems like it is there at all tilts. I don't think it's bright banding. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N2Q-0-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm rather surprised to see graupel snow at 39 degrees with a 33 dewpoint. This conversational snow should switch over to regular rain soon though and become steady and soaking through noon tomorrow. Well west and north had better look out - tremendous feed of moisture with snow, sleet and freezing rain will make for a challenging Saturday morning commute in far northern Virginia, the mountains and even places like Leesburg. These communities will get clobbered with 5 or more inches of snow and sleet. I'm pretty far east and at very low elevation. I'll start out as a little graupel but switch over to rain in an hour or so then a steady regular non-freezing but very COLD rainfall will develop and become heavy at times through much of Saturday morning. The gradient between frozen p-types and plain rainfall will be sharp and will set up about 10 miles NW of Dale City. EDIT - 37 degrees with light to moderate graupel, some of it is getting pretty large, but all surfaces are above freezing thanks to strong wall to wall sunshine for much of the day, roads are wet, sidewalks are wet as are car tops and much everything else.
