Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Boom, meso: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0124.html I liked this statement AS COLDER AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS CONTINUES TO TRANSITION SOUTHEASTWARD...INCREASING FORCING FOR ASCENT COINCIDENT WITH A FAVORABLE ELEVATED THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE FOR DENDRITIC GROWTH SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO A SCENARIO FAVORABLE FOR INCREASINGLY HEAVY SNOW...WITH SOME SLEET ALSO INITIALLY POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES ARE LIKELY TO LOCALLY EXCEED 1 IN/HR WITHIN THIS CORRIDOR. THE 12Z OBSERVED SOUNDING FROM WASHINGTON-DULLES SUBSTANTIATES THIS NOTION WITH CONSIDERABLE COOLING HAVING OCCURRED BELOW 700 MB OVER THE PAST 12-HOURS...WITH ONLY A NEGLIGIBLE ABOVE-FREEZING ELEVATED LAYER /AROUND 0.5C/ REMAINING AT 850 MB AS OF 12Z. OF NOTE RELATED TO NUMERICAL GUIDANCE...THIS OBSERVED ELEVATED WARM LAYER AT KIAD WAS AS MUCH AS 2-3C COLDER /750-700 MB/ THAN THE 06Z NAM POINT FORECAST BUT SIMILAR TO THE 06Z GFS FORECAST PROFILE.

Fodie77 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 36 and rain in RIC. Would you guys say you're changing over earlier than expected? It seems that way. That gives me hope down here, but the HRRR says no dice. Expecting a sleet bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 8:00 1.2 inches. .5 in the past hour. Moderate snow 30 degrees. The intensity of the snow has really picked up over the past 15 minutes or so. I am getting hammered right now with moderate snow being driven on a stiff N/W wind.
