BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'd guesstimate that the euro is tucking better. Where's our subs?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Nice run by the Euro. Slight improvement over 12z (not as good as 18z) for Nova/DC. 0.5” very close to DC to the SW. 0.25” just north of Balt ETA: we are locked into 3-5” for DC/NOVA. Let’s enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdude Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 A bit of a slower and tucked storm. Has light snow in DC surrounding areas well into Sunday night. Snow not as good as 18z, about same as 12z? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks a lot closer to a storm that could gain some latitude off the coast but I’m not an expert. Shift that low a little closer to the coast and we might be in good shape.

We always seem to get 1 set of runs with an overall "step back". Dec 9 2017 had it at the 0z runs as well. Seems to not effect much, but the fact that the Euro took a step back from 18z and still shows borderline WSW snows is pretty great. We seem to be locked in for a good one.

Yep, we’re locked into a nice event...it’s better in my backyard from 12z which I liked seeing. As Bob says it’s let the chips fall time. Happy to start posting obs soon.

LeesburgWx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We are sick SOBs. 3 am and doing NAM pbp... Models have consistently been showing a max strip like this somewhere just south of us.

mattb65 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We just got NAMd big time. Southern SW with a bit more amplitude and a the confluence is a bit weaker and lifts out faster. Spits out 6-12" around DC metro. Probably overdone but nice to see it improve heading into game time.

arlwx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 As for headlines, did upgrade the advisory to a warning for the northern Shenandoah Valley and the Washington Metropolitan area. Am concerned that east-west oriented banding may cause locally higher amounts across these areas. Frontogenetical forcing increases as the low passes by to the south late tonight into Sunday morning, and looking at the 00z nam bufkit, did notice the Eqivalent Potential Temperatures nearly neutral with height for a period between 06 and 12z along with slightly negative EPV and Frontogenetical forcing that lines up, suggesting that CSI banding is possible. Elsewhere, left the headlines from the previous forecast. Still looking at a most likely of 2-5 inches across northern Maryland, the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and the Baltimore Metropolitan areas, with 4-7 inches elsewhere. Do want to point out that there is still uncertainty regarding the placement and location of any banding precipitation and also with the track of the low. Any slight change in either direction will have an impact on snowfall totals. Having that been said, there will be impact from snow across the entire CWA tonight into Sunday.

CAPE Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Mount Holly keeping a WWA for now, but mentioned a possible upgrade in the AFD for tonight. Also noticed they have a bit more of a 'wide range' than usual for accumulations in the text forecast, owing to the possible tight gradient and uncertainty with the coastal enhancement across this area. Calling for 2-6" here and 3-7" around Easton. Less NE. Seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
