Hey boys!!! It has been a while since I been on here. I heard a rumor it might snow on Saturday so I thought I would come here for the low down!!!

 

Best chance up near the MD/PA border apparently -as would be expected this time of year (or most other times). Latest runs sounded like they went even north of that. But still a chance of snow TV it seems for many.  Also, early vegetation/flowers may be slaughtered with the lows Sunday morning in the GFS is right which for some reason will make NPZ happy.

LOL.  Sorry, man, I just hate flowers.  I hate the bright colors, the awful floral smells, the pollen, and the bees.

That line is so pronounced the windshift along it is throwing out rotation markers in GR :lol:

My friend down in Fredericksburg said it was crazy rain as it went through. 

 

Vis dropped to what looked like less than half a mile when the line moved through. Heaviest rain I've seen in a long time.

Interesting clump of power outages showed up well ahead of this heavy line in my area. They are blaming weather conditions. I guess light to moderate rain can now cause 8K+ outages.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with Saturday morning- I got two newly planted trees that I'm worried about. Foliage is badly damaged, but they haven't fully taken root yet so I'm concerned about them just flat out dying.

 

Heavy rain and very windy! 0.33" so far. Very impressive event. I think this is at least as windy as last weekend!

I'd say the chance of seeing any snow other than flurries Fri night into Sat is just about zero.

 

Northern tier of MD still has a chance. SLP passing north of the M/D is a dagger for my yard. UL dynamics still in play as the low departs but happens at the worst time of the day.

Just put 2-3" of mulch around the root ball, if you haven't already, and water the trees very thoroughly , before the coldest night ( so Saturday) ! The foliage will die all the way off, but new growth will come out again, in a couple of weeks. I doubt your trees will die, they are tough, even though they aren't rooted in yet. Good luck

    Fully agree that chances for widespread synoptic snow (as some of yesterday's guidance showed) are pretty much dead now due to the track of the low to our north and resulting strong downslope flow here.

 

     But with the upper low passing overhead with very cold temps, the forecast soundings show steep lapse rates, and a few hundred j/kg of cape may be available, so some healthy snow shower/squall activity is a reasonable bet.

Thanks! I have some leftover mulch which I'll add to them tomorrow then.
