I've seen that theory before and it rarely ends well for the District. The warm nose trend must come to a halt asap or 2013...nvm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ers-wxman1 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Not a good run at all unless you are up in Northeast MD. Quite a bit drier especially for northern VA, DC and to I-81. Rates aren't great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfreak89 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I haven't posted in a long time, but just want to make one brief comment here. This run tended toward an earlier phase but because it's not complete by the time it reaches us, it cuts off the moisture transport due to an unfavorable jet configuration. If this is a start of a trend, in 2-3 runs from now we may really be liking what we see. However, this is one of the possible ways we end up with a miller B screwjob is this half phased solution. We either want a full phase or no phase at our latitude. This in between isn't going to cut it. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleocene Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Here's the last six runs of the GFS, total snowfall map through 18z Tuesday. From TT, 10:1 ratio. I'm seeing a really solid trend for 10+ inches on a NE/SE axis through central maryland. The totals did drop somewhat noticeably on this last run.

MD Snow Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yup. The one thing to take away from this run is that it cuts down on precip for the area. It bombs further north. Follow the trends. Not saying it is a trend yet...have to wait for the euro but we're close to have to start worrying about dryslotting pretty quick and bombing to the north.

psuhoffman Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 it wasn't a bad run. But if did cut precip and slowerto really wind up the system and that's the trend I want to see reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this run cut back on QPF slightly for DC and more so for the western and northwestern burbs I'm glad we didn't see a big shift to something way overamped that would've ended in us totally failing. This is a nice track for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about losing it all. I don't see a total miss. But I guess my fear is a slow bleed away from rapidly intensifying the southern system and a slower development which then adjust the really good stuff (the 1.5 qpf) further northeast each run. It slowly degrades to where we're left with .5-.75 qpf with marginal temps and suddenly we're tracking a 3-5" slop event instead of a mecs of hecs. Do I think that is our fate no. But did the gfs just do anything to comfort me against that no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the track better. My biggest fear was a mid level wrecking ball showing it's face. 6" of snow is always better than 1.5" of rain. At least in my opinion anyways.

Of course I'd like to see a top shelf 10-15 inch storm but hey, it's mid march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best runs were amped just good track. A weak storm isn't going to work when the primary goes west. We need the coastal hitting on all cylinders. I want to see 2-3"qpf. Then take our chances on temps. But .75 qpf with marginal temps in mid march isn't going to make us happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the 12z from yesterday and compare it to the 12z today. Now take another step in the wrong direction at 18z and we're literally left with 4-8. Is 4-8 awesome for March? Absolutetly. You just can't have this continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
