EastCoast NPZ Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well, the changeover must be close here as the precip has completely stopped for the first time since 3:30 this afternoon. .75" of driving rain all evening/night and it shuts off just as soon as the changeover approaches. Radar looks wretched to my SW, too. I stayed up to 2 AM for this? I need to have my head examined. I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a plume that is being supplied by inputs from both the deep tropical Pacific and the west GoMex. You definitely DON'T need your head examined. We all love snow, you love snow, and you're gonna get DEMOLISHED by snow today This firehose http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php is about to bury you in snow!

While that plume is impressive, it's narrow and the precip is a lot more scattered than I want to see. Showery type precip will not get anything done in March daylight, even with temps in the upper 20s. What falls will melt in lulls, if that is infact the nature of the precip.

Jebman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I was doing so well on temps. Now, i am STUCK at 38. I think that front is kind of moving east, then getting stuck, then moving a little again, then getting stuck lol. A poster on here has a really good av caption that goes something like this: Moisture not enough Cold. Cold, not enough Moisture. Damn. I have plenty of moisture. i have more than enough moisture to build a rain forest in a day. I need 32 degrees. Five more degrees to go: I am at 37/32. That arctic cold airmass needs to stop stuffing its face with jelly doughnuts, get up off of the couch, and get a move on southeast! NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 36/31 degrees with rain. I just went out to get the paper. It's pretty chilly out there. NNW gust to 19 mph. Wind chills to 20 degrees. That's moderate rain pounding down outside. That NW wind is smashing it right against my back door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlwx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 LWX snips: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC342 AM EST THU MAR 5 2015.AS OF 3 AM...SFC BOUNDARY HAS SLIPPED TO NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER.HOWEVER...COLDER AIR IS ONLY TRICKLING INTO THE AREA. THERE HAVEBEEN A SOME OBS OF SN IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO THENORTHWEST...BUT THERE IS A TEMPORARY LULL IN RADAR THAT MAY TAKEUNTIL CLOSER TO DAYBREAK TO FILL BACK IN AND HAVE BETTER SNOW RATESSPREAD EAST.WX GRIDS WERE ADJUSTED TO SLOW DOWN THE CHANGEOVER...WHICH WILL PUSHSE REACHING THE SE EXTENT OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MID/LATE MORNING.SO JUST BECAUSE CONDITIONS MAY BE JUST WET AT DAYBREAK...CONDITIONSARE STILL EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE DURING THE MORNING. THERE STILLLOOKS LIKE A GOOD PROB OF A FEW HOURS OF SLEET MIXTURE...ESPECIALLYAS THE TRANSITION ZONE TRAVERSES FARTHER SE. FOR THESE REASONS...INADDITION TO A LARGE CHUNK OF SNOW FALLING DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS(MARCH SUN ANGLE)...SNOW TOTALS HAVE BEEN TRIMMED BACK BY A FEWINCHES ACROSS A GOOD PART OF THE AREA.NEVERTHELESS...THERE WILL STILL BE GOOD BANDING POTENTIAL. HAVEHEARD REPORTS OF NEARLY A FOOT OF SNOW IN N-CNTL KY (NOT TO DRAW ADIRECT CORRELATION TO THE LOCAL AREA...JUST THE POTENCY OF THESYSTEM AND THE DEEP MOISTURE TAP). THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A WINDOWOF A FEW HOURS WHERE RATES COULD BE AN INCH PER HOUR OR MORE. THISWOULD BE EARLY MORNING FOR NW SECTIONS...MIDDAY FOR THE METROS TOCNTL SHEN VALLEY...AFTERNOON FOR CNTL VA TO SRN MD. PINPOINTINGBANDING LOCATION AND DURATION WILL ULTIMATELY INFLUENCE SNOW TOTALSSINCE IT WILL REPRESENT THE BEST CHANCE AT ACCUMULATIONS.TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY FALL THROUGH THE DAY. BLENDING INCURRENT GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS FALL WILL BE SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSFORECAST...ANOTHER LIMITING FACTOR TO THE SNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just fell to 35 degrees! NNW wind gust to 22 mph! I dont think that cold air is just trickling in anymore! Point and click trimmed back to 3 to 7 inches due to later onset of all snow, but I am still pumped for this because three inches is BONUS for March 5! We got one hell of a firehose of moisture and I STILL say we are gonna get demolished! Heavy snow RATES will overcome the weak March sun, our ground is ice COLD and the roads dont stand a chance! THEY WILL CAVE! Temps will fall slower than earlier progged but it will still only be in the 20s! In March, any snow is bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Maybe my peeps aren't awake yet... But I have a hunch that matt's rant on how insufferable the forum is gonna be this morning has really cut down on the number of storm canceled posts... Really disappointed... On another note has anyone noticed how on the national radar the northwest edge of the precip blob to our sw is slowly pushing southeast? Given the 6 hour lull coming it seems as though there is chance that nw edge fringes us. Anyone see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
