WVclimo Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 33/14 after a high of 37. Some models (GFS, EC, RGEM) get precip in here by sunrise. NAMs wait until mid-morning tomorrow. Current forecast is for less than a half-an-inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been fun tracking it and pretending it is December 2013. Come on Jeb! You’re in for sooooo much snow...man...you’ll be melting it down, canning it, and sending it to the forgotten people of Puerto Rico. Happy shovel and jebwalking season. LOLz.

csnavywx Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 CC and surface obs show mixing line from roughly RIC-Cape Lookout at the moment. Warm nose aloft making its way in. MFV sensor did show lightning in the distance on the last ob. There's some weak elevated upright instability tonight on some of the soundings, so a flash or two of lightning wouldn't surprise me. Also wouldn't be shocked to see a melting-driven circulation set up if that mixing line persists, with the folks just to the northwest cashing in. .

Using Euro temps I never get above 30 Saturday and most of central Md fall thru the upper 20s by 0z tomorrow. I think so too. 850's are cold. Around -6 for the whole event. 3-4 inches looks good. My gut tells me we overachieve is more likely than underperforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut tells me we overachieve is more likely than underperforming. I think the only wildcard would be lack of fronto/banding away from the low center off the coast. I used to have the hrrr frontogeneis maps bookmarked but I cant find them anymore. Sometimes developing lows lose dynamics on the edges and other times they can really produce in the outer bands. It's a fairly long duration event but qpf totals arent impressive so a decent portion of the precip will be on the light side. With marginal surface, the best way to maximize totals is to have a period of really heavy stuff. We won't know if/where that sets us until tomorrow AM. It's a pretty juicey system with a long fetch and great jet support. Ocean is warm too so strong baroclonicity will be in play. My gut says there will be periods of fairly heavy snow tomorrow as the slp passes our latitude. Hard to say who gets lucky with banding but you folks up north always seem to find a way.

CAPE Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 From Mount Holly- There has already been up to 2 inches of accumulation on grassy surfaces in far southern Delaware, so adjusted the snow amounts up in this area. Otherwise, stayed close to the previous forecast. Radar trends continue to depict a persistent band of snow from the SW corner of DE to Cape May, NJ. For now, this has shown little indication of propagating northwest, but expect that to happen over the next several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATreglown Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Started out as rain here till about 4pm when it flipped to snow and came down pretty good. Got a nice dusting, then it changed over to sleet. Now, it has been freezing rain for about 1.5 hours. Currently 32/32. I am seeing reports in the SE forum of power outages and hearing of reports of large tree limbs dropping. I am getting a bit concerned of this turning into an ice storm rather than a good snow storm. Still many hours to go before it ends. With that being said, any of you guys with expertise in upper levels of the atmosphere, can you clue me in, to if you think this remains a freezing rain event or should I flip back to snow? And thank you in advance for anyone who may reply! BTW, I am located in VA, 10 miles or so east of the I95 / I85 intersect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
