Doesn't actually make me feel better - I like to see everyone who wants snow get it. I think you'll be fine tomorrow though. The next round should tart when it's still dark, and by the time the sun comes up there should be enough white on the ground to reflect about 80% the March sun.

paxpatriot Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Count me in the group seeing most snow maps missing the big totals from batch #1. Unless they are saying "on top of what has already fallen", just about every map (other than DT) will be busting low up I-81 and along the MD.

Bob, I'm with ya. It's been so looooong since a Grade A snow storm around here I think we'll all remember this one for years to come. The way it all came together is just classic. Don't give a damn if we get the high end totals, just happy to get solid white mashed potatoes on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 950 PM EDT Tue Mar 20 2018 .SYNOPSIS... Coastal low pressure just off the Mid-Atlantic coast will drift northeastward toward southeast New England through early Thursday. High pressure will build into the area from the Midwest late Thursday through Saturday. Low pressure will develop over the mid-Mississippi Valley Friday night then pass south of the area early Sunday as a strong area of high pressure develops to our north. This high pressure will ridge southward into the area briefly early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Temperatures this evening are running a couple degrees cooler than most near-term guidance. Therefore, siding with colder guidance for low level thermals for the next 6-12 hours. Low pressure wave one is currently meandering off the southeast Virginia coast with a central pressure of about 996 mb according to latest surface analysis. Meanwhile, wave two is taking shape over the Carolinas, with an area of precipitation developing under/just north of the mid-level low center over southwestern Virginia. This area of precipitation will expand northeastward tonight, bringing snow to much of the region. Wave two should commence shortly after midnight for areas of central Virginia and the central Shenandoah Valley (near Harrisonburg to Charlottesville), then develop into northern Virginia and the Washington DC/Baltimore areas a couple hours prior to daybreak. While precipitation is light, areas east of the Blue Ridge will likely see a mix of snow, sleet and possibly even some freezing drizzle. Amounts should be very light until steadier snow begins later tonight. Snow will likely be heavy at times tomorrow morning into at least early afternoon (possibly well into the evening over northeastern Maryland). Overall, this system has continued to trend slower and stronger. Any non-snow precipitation types likely scour out from west to east by daybreak as the column dynamically cools and isallobaric flow advects in colder air. Have continued to nudge snowfall amounts upward some given the longer duration and potential banding. Some hi-res guidance (RGEM/NAM3km/WRF-ARW) indicate the potential for some intense banding which could lead to even higher totals (directly under the band; immediately adjacent to these bands sometimes experiences subsidence and somewhat lower amounts). The 12z ECMWF was the most aggressive and widespread with higher snowfall amounts. The forecast has trended in this direction but not 100%, and am instead considering the raw model output as a guide for a worst case scenario solution. Factors such as precipitation intensity and proximity to relatively warmer water are amplified in late March when the sun angle is higher, so highly variable snowfall amounts are possible over relatively short distances. The consistency of the snow may be a touch wetter than climatology, and that given the high amounts and budding trees could result in downed limbs and scattered power outages, despite winds generally staying below 30 mph through the duration of the event.
