Warm Nose Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 4 minutes ago, Ian said: other than easterly wind component this is a pretty good setup for cold. good dry air in region should reinforce with in situ cad. people got a little overly scared I think. late season can rock.. we have a lot going for us. Agree. This is a more favorable setup than many other earlier-season ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondTarHeel Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 32/31 now here in western fairfax. Next band looks like it's the beginning of the main event. That previous band was just an appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 First signs of sleet showing up south of us... We just can't catch a break around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 3 minutes ago, Ian said: To me it's been looking more and more like a potentially high impact event -- including travel -- into the 95 corridor. If anything we've seen more evidence that even the city could stay near or below freezing. What evidence is that? I'm shocked to hear that! Are you going with the hi res data over the globals? They seem to have had opposite trends with thermals to me (between the two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 A lot of heavy sleet overnight could end up making a carnage of the rush hour. Its like trying to drive on ball bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd lean cold per current guidance still maybe. Either way I think we're doing pretty well. In a case like this if you want as much impact as possible you probably want some thundersleet to go with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed this too... parts of the eastern shore went from a trace to 2", BWI went from 2" to 3" and parts of NW DC went from 2" to 4"... thru 2am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerLowerDE Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 37/22 here. At dusk a large flock of gulls was racing from the northeast to the southwest, escaping the gale. I hope Mother Nature has a plan in their heads. Got to be a tough time for lots of critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 8 minutes ago, RidingTheModelWithMostSnow said: HRRR 22z is nice Love that run... it makes me confident that this storm will deliver. Last night, I feared that HRRR runs by now would have mixing all the way to the Blue Ridge while the storm develops too late for most of this region and blasts 40N, with meager snow totals and much more northeast of us. Glad to see that isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurojosh Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Comparing it to last three runs, hrrr definitely shifted heaviest frozen precip east- and somewhat south. If the next cycle shows the same, we can start to call it a now casting trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sporadic flakes. 32/18 dont think surface temps will be a problem up here. If winds flip northeast as the storm bombs I can't see it getting that warm along and west of 95. There is legit cold around this time not far to your north.

These early bands weren't even supposed to happen. They dropped our temperature and probably helped us out. Keep that optimism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
