February 16-17 Storm Threat

Recommended Posts

The 6z members are a bit north of those at 0z. I know people say don't use them but it has to mean something. But we all should remember that at 18z yesterday we basically had squat.

Yeah...but as you know and I...there have been quite a few events this year...granted rainers...where the western cutoff of the precip shield has been quite dramatic. I can see all of us getting in on this one but as I mentioned a few days ago...Norfolk sure looks nice right now if the temps cooperate

And I'll bet people on the southern end can see this thing continuing north.

Haha, that's exactly my concern. RIC is in a good spot as of right now, but we've been burned by north trends so many times in the past that it's hard to get amped up. Interestingly though, Wakefield is playing this one extremely conservative, with a big bias towards this being an NC special. Only calling for 1-3 with no watches/advisories. Given that the start time looks to be tomorrow night now, they'll have to make a call pretty soon.

They are usually conservative and always late to catch on to anything.

True we all have our paranoia ....some of which is based in reality of course...so that said...my opinion is this is a nice event for all with the jackpot being our SE friends

I've seen this a 1000 times where Ric looks to be the jackpot 48 hours out and by gametime Nw of Dc is getting hammered and us Richmonders are dealing with a bunch of mixing.If the RGEM is right and it almost always is we will see that scenario with this storm also.

Fodie77 I couldn't agree more. Watch this thing keep going North and us Richmonders get screwed again for the 1000th time with a wintery mix to dry slot whil Dc and North are in the CCB getting hammered.

I have a question, are the models now showing a much earlier system? I am seeing Monday night into Tuesday Morning vs Tuesday Night into Wednesday morning. Wondering if this is correct?

Yes, because it turns out that an earlier disturbance will end up being the main storm rather than the one on Tuesday night.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels like Wakefield is mighty conservative and somewhat slow to react. Living in SBY it often makes sense to read discos from AKQ, LWX, and Mount Holly and sort of blend them. Mount Holly's in particular are night and day to Wakefield's.

12z runs are critical. They will have ingested clean data after the departure of yesterday's front, so we should finally have a good picture of the atmosphere.

Would anyone else like to comment? Models are already projecting post frontal passage no? So I wouldn't expect a huge change. But this event makes me wonder since the models have jumped around a bit. I.e Euro big shift.

I guess the question is...how many times in the past have both RIC and DCA been the jackpot in the same storm? My guess is not often so here we go...one will win and one will not win...but all will play

These are cases we can play the SNE role. Sorry Richmond.

Jan 30, 2010 was a nice storm for both, though Richmond did considerably better. I'd take a repeat in an instant
