Will let you guys know how that performs. Virga will only be so long with returns showing up like that entering western VA. I’m thinking SE flow will def help some down this way with lift and moisture transport. Good luck up that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree to that extent, but gfs has improved again it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 12 GFS seems less strung out than 06z by a little. Meanwhile there are some good radar returns in SWVA moving NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachin Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 AT 30 area getting impacts from coastal! First time the GFS has shown it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not seeing the coastal kick in like the ICON or NAM, but still another good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachin Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 At this point the NAM is for sure dead on with where these models are headed. its so obvious aloft and at the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jet structure was a little better from hr 18 moving forward, but nothing that would scream a NAM like outcome. Still not bad. GFS isn't the model I would be following right now. Euro is probably the only global I would give credence to. ICON is hug worthy, but it's the ICON so..... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Some reports of flakes making it to the ground in the central Shenandoah Valley. Shouldnt be too long for those of us to the west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL97 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 GFS is 4-6" for everyone... closer than 06Z but not quite incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Looks like a little more action overnight Sunday which is an improvement too, not a blockbuster but another positive run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesburgWx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Depending on what the euro shows, I think we have gone from expecting 4-6 inches to now more like 6-10 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 DC is squarely in the 0.5'' QPF, unlike 06z. Precip across all of the area is an improvement from both 00z and 06z, respectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Minus the 12k NAM (Not Happening!), guidance is in pretty darn good agreement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Main takeaway for me is it agrees with the placement of the CCB band Sunday afternoon/night with the NAM/ICON, just not as wet as the others. IMO a very good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 notably better than 6z, just not the nam. another nudge north approaching gametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Looks like most of the region will be upgraded to WSW later. Potential for 6" exists for most places based on latest runs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmagnet Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Is it safe to rely on the short range models at this point more than the globals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
