clskinsfan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Radar looking pretty paltry out here. Meso's not looking awesome for us far NW folks either. Maybe we can eek out another inch or 2. Cant really complain though. By far my biggest event since the 2016 blizzard. And really nice for a late March event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snjókoma Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Measured 3", which tells me that my ruler has some serious issues. The storm is over in N Arlington, and therefore I should not be measuring 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 This will help folks visualize what I was just talking about. Looks at the close h5 low. Lift on the NE side aided by strong inflow off the atlantic from SLP off the mouth of the bay. The entire thing will rotate underneath of us and OTS. Much can go right or wrong later but right now is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Dover radar clearly showing (via echo tops) a mixture of weak upright and what is probably slantwise convection helping rates towards BWI and DCA atm. Good lapse rates aloft are helping a lot today, aiding what would otherwise be pretty mediocre lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Have about 6-7" Not amazed, banding really persistent just north of me. We keep getting snizzle. 10 miles north of I70 does not average a lot more snow so this is just the luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Wow. Snowing like crazy on 29 between Columbia and Ellicott city. Bands forming just south of BAL are impressive and keep coming our way. SN+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 rgem, similar to the nam, keeps the new coastal low tucked slightly closer to the coast/southeast this run. not sure if that would make much of a difference here. otherwise, no notable changes. edit: meant to say southwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats including all the sleet from yesterday Yeah it includes yesterday, so at that point it was probably about 1.5" for the day.

Know that area well and went to Springbrook (loooooong ago). I'm guessing you lose a little elevation as you get toward the end of the streets by Northwest Branch and it's tributaries. I used to live behind Springbrook and would walk to school via Meadowood Drive when I missed the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want it to tuck!!! We don’t want that energy kicking ENE too quickly. Moisture transport up the mouth of the bay is solid right now. Baltimore’s west suburbs and BWI are getting crushed right now.

osfan24 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 HRRR seems to indicate we all get a few more inches so it's probably going to shut off sooner than later if that's the case given the rates, but who knows if it's right or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Kind of entertaining that all of the reports from Arlington/McLean/Falls Church are lower than DCA. We rarely lose, but it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It is pretty amazing how much it brightens up outside when the rates drop off. That March sun is no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
