We have good lift and a boundary draped right through the region. Precip will turn light but I really don't think there will be a true lull.

Edit: Weather Underground's wundermap claims it's snowing at home, and the current conditions say Heavy Snow, but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro might have nailed that area. 00Z Nams seemed to have nailed my area. Light / broken precip and dry-slotting that kept showing up over the Valley in those runs has come to realization.

Eskimo Joe Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Meso'd: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2018/md0159.html Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0159 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1119 AM CDT Tue Mar 20 2018 Areas affected...Northern Maryland into southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 201619Z - 202015Z SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy snow will develop across the discussion area, with rates will approach 1 inch per hour. Freezing rain/sleet should also continue along the southern extent of the discussion area. DISCUSSION...Lift associated with a mid-level impulse centered over West Virginia has aided in areas of moderate to heavy snow over the past hour or so - especially along western and southern portions of the discussion area. This area of precipitation should continue to develop northeastward across the remainder of the region and persist through at least 20Z. Areas of dry low-level air were noted downstream of this precip shield (into southeastern Pennsylvania), although rapid moistening of the boundary layer and cooling surface temperatures (just below freezing) will encourage higher precipitation rates in that area shortly. Rates approaching 1 inch per hour are possible through mid-afternoon. Farther southeast along an axis from central Maryland into New Jersey, slightly warmer low-level thermodynamic profiles are supporting a mixing of rain, freezing rain, and sleet. This mixed precipitation should continue through 20Z and possibly beyond as a coastal low continues to organize southeast of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
