CAPE Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Been under 25-30 dbz returns for a couple hours now. Really ripping. I will have to venture out and try to take a measurement soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Some of the bands moving north through the DC area have strong enough returns now that the NEXRAD algorithms are giving them cell numbers and predicted tracks.

87storms Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 a train of yellows are lining up and making a beeline for dc. i'm under a yellow right now and can confirm that visiblity is low, probably lowest so far. measured close to 5" and that was about 15-20 minutes ago. if we stay all snow, i see no reason we aren't at 15-20" by sunrise, and that might be conservative. it's still in the low to mid 20s. ratios still in our favor.
