61 here right now. I've almost forgotten what winter weather feels like, and I'm not the least bit happy. Having said that, it surely appears as if some people not too far away might get blasted in the next 48 hours. Will be fun to watch unfold at the very least...

WSW for tioga.  6+.  18zs continue the trend, and have shifted precip south again.  Couple more ticks and WSPTwx will be eating his own crow pie on friday.  Not sure how much move is left, but very few models/peeps saw this coming, so I'd be cautious in speaking in absolutes for a little while.  Im largely out, but as usual, its fun to watch.  Thats why I'm here :).

Just have a few minutes before meetings, but it looks like NAO is starting to show influence on some of the models.  Evolution still wonky to me, but there are several opps at some notable events in the next 2 weeks.  Not sure how it plays out, but March looks to roar.  Will be fun way to finish out my trackin for the year. 

Goin shopping for new curtains for the cave this weekend as its almost that time..... :weep:

my statement about CTP was because of any accums of snow beyond a couple inches would be damaging with the projected winds.  While our region seems to be somewhat "safe" from that (except fringe regions), it still should be stated for cautions sake.  Northern tier to poconos could be trouble though.

them and places in NY could have some serious issues.

I actually believe we will have some issues in the Harrisburg area tomorrow with wind. I wouldn't say i'm worried, but i do have some concern. For whatever reason, we have really been getting decent wind events. It was just like 2 weeks ago when we had strong winds overnight that had everything blown all over hells creation. And now, the ground is saturated. We'll see i guess.

Yeah, agreed.  Southern tier to central/east central ny could get shellacked with snow.  

this snow is going to be heavy/wet, and with saturated ground, it would likely increase the potential for damage.

****, i just realized my daughter flys out of BWI tomorrow to fly into Chicago. I wonder how that will affect her


That takeoff will be pretty interesting to say the least. What time does she fly out? Winds after sunrise will be mixing very efficiently. Gusts into 40’s and 50’s likely by 10am-Noon

flight is 7-8 am

Looking like sustained surface winds of 30 knots around BWI between 7AM and 10AM tomorrow.  That speed would definitely cause either delays or cancellations as I believe planes cannot take off with winds at or greater than 35mph (as per FAA regulations).

Do the extreme strong gusts (ie over 40) die off Friday evening (say 8ish) or am I misreading that? I know it'll still be very windy and gusty, but the 50+ mph winds are what I'm looking for.

 

7 and 10pm tomorrow evening...my guess would be the extreme gusts reaching 50+ should be dying off, but look at the low strength and position...978 at 0Z and 976 at 03Z, so still strengthening while it continues to be pushed southward, but also a bit eastward by 03Z.
