dailylurker Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Beautiful day today. It's starting to look and feel like winter is setting in. Looks like winter might come in hard this year. 42 degrees here in the woods of AA county with the smell of wood smoke in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface temps will be crap I'm sure but hopefully I see something fall from one of these minor threats. I was out of town for the first flakes during the Megatron Megafront. NAM keeps getting slightly colder for tomorrow night. I don't think I'd give it any weight for Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing with these small events...they seem to trend cooler more often then not. I think ambiance flakes or pellets are a lock almost for n/w folks and maby 95 gets a few if models keep cooling It's CAD events that trend colder IMO. And this Tuesday deal looks to be pretty wet. And, even though I'm laughing at saying it, the NAM has trended a good bit colder for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the trail around the Eagle Cam open since they weren't nesting yet. I set up a photo thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondTarHeel Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Car thermometer said it was 41 degrees. Smells like snow outside. I may stay up to try and see a snowflake/sleet pellet. Afraid it's all gonna be rain in mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 25 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: If we do a thread, a northerner should start it. .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Closed low over northern Mexico will eject eastward into Texas on Monday, then open up and head northeastward towards us Monday night and Tuesday. In response, surface low pressure will develop and head northeastward along the Atlantic seaboard. A primary low will lift north west of the Apalachians while a secondary will redevelop in the Carolinas. In between, a wedge of colder air is likely to hold firm east of the Allegeny Front. In short...this spells trouble...though the extent of it remains uncertain. Skies may still be mostly clear early Monday night, allowing for some radiational cooling. However, clouds are likely to build in by midnight and put a stop to that, perhaps even allowing temps to rebound a bit. That said, the further inland one is, the less of a bump one might expect. Warm advection precip will start moving northeast across the region late Monday night with precip likely to arrive during rush hour in the metro, perhaps near the end of the rush up towards Baltimore. Dry air again will be in place so even though much of the I-95 corridor may still be above freezing, some snow and sleet may initially make their way to the surface. No impacts are currently anticipated in this corridor, however, as the moistening of the already warm atmosphere should cause any sleet and snow to go over to rain with little accumulations. Further inland, especially across the Shenandoah Valley, cold air may be trapped for the duration. These areas may get significant icing if the colder guidance is to be believed. After also possibly starting as snow/sleet, freezing rain is likely to be the predominate precip type most of the morning, perhaps changing to rain as temps only very slowly warm up in the afternoon. Given its usual good handling of cold air damming, the NAM temps were favored. This suggests that some areas could stay freezing rain nearly all day on Tuesday. However, since temps will be marginal, and most of precip will fall during daylight, we are skeptical about a warning level ice event, so for now still will advertise potential advisory. Highs will be stuck in the 30s in the SHenandoah Valley, while struggling to reach 40 further east. As the system weakens and lifts north, expect rain to taper off Tuesday night, though if cold air damming is as persistent as some guidance suggests, there could still be a little freezing rain ongoing in the Shenandoah Valley. Temps will likely move little Tuesday night. Freezing rain would be a zero issue event this early since we really haven't had any real cold. I'm sure hard surfaces are well above freezing.
