osfan24 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Looks like we are getting screwed on the first band being too far east. Shocker. Setting up very nicely for Philly. This is likely to be their biggest storm of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think the models that Did Not have DC area getting into the mid 40's today might be the ones to lean on. Some cannot get the next 5 minutes right anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Luray is up to 41 and Orange VA is up to 43, that is not too far away from here and the temps look to be spiking upward behind the band that just moved off to our east. Radar looks nice in Kentucky and Ohio with those west to east stretched out bands coming eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This. The 16z HRRR has at at 46 degrees at 5pm in DC. It's 32 now per Weatherbug. Not sure we're even going to break the 40's unless magic happens. Sometimes temps can spike close to 10 degrees just before the front arrives. Don't know if that will be the case today. I would bet against that kind of spike today but who knows. This is not your typical front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 34 here. Flurries have started on a freshening SW breeze. So cool to see flakes blowing from the back yard toward the front.
