The northern shield dries up and the low ramps up. Kind of like a transfer that we are used to. NAM still doesn't buy it. That's what happened March 5-6 2013.

87storms Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 looks like roanoke should start piling up soon...charleston looking good, too: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=RLX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes unless we get all showery/downslope-y, then all systems go for dc to bmore. it's gametime.

Maybe someone with a pay site can tell. Also interesting on IWM is that the RR and NAM are almost identical precip-wise around DC, but the RR has a nearly 10:1 snow ratio while the NAM is an aggressive 15:1 or so.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Looks like a solid band (frontogenetic forcing?) setting up along the Potomac River. Will probably help to kick that dry air out too. Dew point at IAD (Dulles) went from -8 at the 2:00 pm ob to +5 at the 3:00 pm ob for a 13 degree jump. Pretty impressive.
