The front has really slowed down in the guidance since earlier today.    NAM and GFS previously had the front going through very early with temps into the 40s here by early afternoon;  both models tonight don't even have the front making it to the Bay by 18z Sunday.

surprise, surprise

Dont remember the last time I was up at 3am...lol...fun Halloween party though. 

Euro track over Philly again. Bigger precip hit through the corridor and not as much west of town. Probably noise. Plenty of wind.

Back to back euro runs with little variance and gfs shifting west and stronger every run. This is a legit storm. The last time we got hit so close with a big coastal storm like this is prob the blizzard of 16. This one will have solid impacts felt for 500 miles of coast though. Tropical storm type of damage seems pretty likely too on the NE side of the low.

Hmmm... from the updated morning LWX HWO:

A severe thunderstorm with damaging wind gusts or an isolated
tornado is possible very late tonight towards dawn on Sunday for
southern Maryland and the adjacent tidal Potomac River and
Chesapeake Bay. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is expected
elsewhere.

LWX afternoon AFD

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Starting Sunday, and lasting through Monday morning, will be a
very complex weather situation. Low pressure will develop along
the cold front in North Carolina early Sunday morning, and then
it appears to the 12Z ECMWF deterministic has a low develop
north of TD 18 off the southeast U.S. coast. These two lows
merge into one strong low pressure system east of Delmarva
Peninsula, before backing into the Hudson Valley/Adirondacks of
NY State Sunday night.

This will provide very strong warm air advection around the low
on Sunday morning, as the very moist H85 theta-e field --
partly sourced from the tropics -- gets advected into our CWA
on a strong easterly H85 windfield, slamming into the drier air
behind the front. This will cause a period of heavy rainfall on
Sunday morning into early afternoon, particularly for locations
along and east of I-95. There is enough CAPE and shear, per the
00Z NCAR WRF Ensembles, to bring a threat of severe weather,
including a tornado or two, for southern Maryland and the
surrouning coastal waters for a period of time between 600 AM
and Noon Sunday.

The antecedent conditions will minimize the flooding threat, but
I wouldn`t be surprised to see 2-4" of rainfall east of the I-95
corridor when rainfall ends Sunday night.

With the explosive cyclogenisis, wind will begin in earnest
after sunset on Sunday, with H85 winds to 65kts by 06Z Monday.
Winds will begin to get gusty on Sunday afternoon, but the
stronger wind fields will come on Sunday night, and last through
Monday morning. How much wind gets down from the low level jet
remains to be seen due to the stability of the boundary layer as
influenced by rainfall and low level temps, but certainly wind
advisories are likely across the entire CWA Sunday night.

Winds will diminish through the day on Monday into Monday night.

Models are also showing an upslope snow event beginning Sunday
evening and lasting through Sunday night. Boundary layer temps
will be marginal, and certainly the threat exists for advisory
level snows in the high terrain along the Allegheny Front.

Dale City is in a kind of dryslot. KLWX is starting to come around. They are trimming pops from 100 percent today, to 70 percent. Rain will be scattered and sporadic thru tonight. Total rain about a quarter to a third of an inch. What effing deform zone? In New York State much later tonight or early Monday, sure. This was always going to be a New York State event. This was never going to be for Northern VA. KLWX will come around. This has already been an embarrassment for them so far. My forecast is 30 percent chance of scattered light rain showers for today. More rain farther east, in eastern Del Mar Va duh. Tonight, 60 percent chance of some light rain in Dale City. Total rain a third of an inch. Much more rain northeast of Baltimore later tonight. Philadelphia gets waterboarded late tonight with torrential rain as the cyclogenesis gets going. It is not going to develop in time for our latitude. I just happen to be one of the foremost experts on LA Nina  climatology in northern VA. I damn near almost have a kind of outright precognition. KLWX mets go to met school for years then get humbled by a developing frontal low and are forced to alter their forecast for Northern Virginia, to much DRIER. Duh. Our latitude in a LA Nina misses out on heavy rain especially where coastal cyclogenesis is involved. This is nothing new and it is hardly rocket science. Deformation zone over Dale City in October in a LA Nina ? KLWX will need warp capable ship to catch up lmao.
