March Threats/Snow Storms Pt. II

looks like all the models from 18Z were a little wrong with the northern stream slp

reality is that it's down to 1006 and centered around the intersection of N & S Dakota and the easter Idaho boarder vs. the 1010 the NAM had and the 1006 the GFS and RGEM proged

I have no idea what it will mean as I guess one could argue both ways, alternatively, it may not mean a thing, but it is stronger than proged by any of the models 6 hours ago

SREFs (and NAM) tend to have a wet bias and esp in winter storms....too robust on the northern edge of precip shield. It will back down gradually over the next few runs. I have no expectations other than clouds and some flakes in the air...maybe a dusting DC and points SE. Even the immediate coast of DE and MD are likely to see no more than an inch or 2.

The comment was based upon the past week demonstrating something that does happen quite often to Richmond. The Saturday storm was a good one just one hour west and north of here. No accumulation in Richmond at all. Thursday looks to be bigger south and east of here, while I don't think it will be a 12.26.2004 style shutout, it still looks to be more of an event one hour south and east. Looking back over past decade there are numerous instances of Richmond kind of falling into a gap between systems that produce from the mountains up though NOVa (or just in NOVa) and systems that produce through the far south side into Hampton Roads. Yes. Richmond is at about 7.4 inches for the year now, but if you look back you'll see empirically that few reporting stations in the Mid-Atlantic, and East Coast as a whole, have achieved their yearly average as rarely as Richmond recently. Area has been in a snow drought. Just noting that trend.

 

Sooner or later climo will catch up to you guys... I don't think these constant Richmond screwjobs can keep happening forever.
