JB Fins Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 12/9 shifted in our favor late as I recall, don't like being in the bullseye this far out...we have seen this movie too many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah def don't want much more of a north move here... Hopefully the cold air will be stronger then expected so we wont have to worry.. Today's runs are going to be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Latest GFS has us in the jackpot zone. Still time to shift but a few more runs like that and I am hitting the ABC store to stock up for Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 HA HA... .If it does turn over it most likely will still be mostly freezing rain .. and this is still after a few hours of snow.. (line has inched up a bit tho.. always right on the border in these parts.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the short range have a better grasp on temperature so those totals could go back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavalierHoo Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Eh. Maybe I just don't want to believe it. The models will bounce around a few more times before the final result is in. Seems the models are handling the system in different ways. Who knows which one is correct. ETA: I have ZERO weather background. This is just what I gather from reading between the lines in the storm thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro has been consistent and was also for 12/9 but not til 72 hours out for that one. FV3 and then the short range models handled 12/9 well also. Once short range came into range.

yoda Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You can find the FV3 much faster here: http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/model-guidance-model-area.php Click on GFS... it is the FV3 on there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It has gone dead silent in here. I'm surprised more of you aren't chiming in....even if we don't receive allot of snow it still could turn into a pretty good ice storm in parts of the area. I personality believe out here in the West End we will get a 3-6 storm with maybe a little sleet/frz rain. Error margin could be high both ways of course...

I think it’s because there hasn’t been a lot of changes since we talked yesterday. The euro has been the most consistent but it seems like every run it takes off a little bit more QPF. Last time the FV3 did really well and it’s pretty weak. GFS is good but it busted 12/9. CMC also. I agree with how you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondTarHeel Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Not looking too good for some of us. Might be a situation where Short Pump gets 6"+ and southside/mechanicsville get 2" and some rain. The 06 FV3 has almost all of us with low amounts and lots of rain. I'm going to hold on hope since last storm, the cold air was stronger than modeled. Even Norfolk/Williamsburg got in on the action. Hope the Rain/Snow line stays further east than depicted.

dswx Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The new 6z Euro (not public; got it from a vendor) has ~4 inches on the mean ensemble for Richmond area at 10:1 ratio and ~3 inches on the operational at 10:1 (the later only goes out to 00z Monday). The operational 6z Euro goes out 90 hours and its ensemble out to 144 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcwahoo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Can't really figure this storm out. And if you look at the local TV forecasts they can't either. I love NBC 12 right now: 4-6 inches, but maybe just an inch or hey 9-10 inches! That's called covering all your bases! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than ignoring the possibilities like they did heading into December 9. Not just NBC but many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have a feeling we will see all 3 for most parts of the area.. prob start as snow then mix then back to snow... Whats the start/end time showing on most models? Another thing that could make a big difference is when and how fast the dry air pushes in .. Seems like it always finds a way to get into this area...

I truly wish more mets would present snowfall probabilities for each range like Freiden did this morning and Zach Daniel did last evening so people can hear/see what the chances are for various amounts and that it is not locked in at say 4-6 inches. That is how it should be presented. People hear just "4-6" without any caveats and run with it. Then when 2 or 8 occurs they yell "busted forecast!". smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
