NorthArlington101 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 ~25dbz returns aren't doing it down here in Charlottesville right now, which is odd because it was flurrying earlier with worse returns. 34/25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more tidbit from your earlier question... the way you and me get 6-8 or even more is when the trailing upper level energy moves through. The exact location and jackpots from that piece are really hard to nail down until it's happening. That part could feature high ratio/fluffy dendrites. If things line up there will be embedded bands within the shield. Get under 1 or 2 of those bands and you can get a nice thump of quick accumulations. Just pray or sacrifice chickens and hope it happens over your yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it some time before worrying about mountains and such 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Weird how it snows forever on all of the NAMs, especially 12k and 3k, and the totals are relatively pedestrian given 30 hours of snow. Must be very light rates much of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 3:00 pm AFD from LWX: Quote .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES THE PRIMARY LOW PRESSURE OVER ARKANSAS. ALOFT, A CLOSED UPPER LOW IS LOCATED NEAR KANSAS CITY. THROUGH SUNDAY, THE SURFACE LOW WILL PROGRESS EAST TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BEFORE TRANSFERING ITS ENERGY TO A NEW SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT NEAR THE VIRGINIA CAPES. THIS LOW WILL THEN STRENGTHEN BEFORE HEADING OUT TO SEA SUNDAY NIGHT. ALOFT THE UPPER LOW PROGRESS EASTWARD, AND IT WILL CROSS OUR REGION SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE IT TOO HEADS OUT TO SEA. LATEST GUIDANCE HAS INCHED THE LOW TRACK A BIT FURTHER NORTH, AND INCREASED ITS DEVELOPMENT A BIT. THIS HAS HAD A TWO-FOLD EFFECT. THE FIRST IS THAT OVERALL, PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE HEAVIER, WITH WIDESPREAD WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL EXPECTED. TOTALS WILL GENERALLY BE HIGHEST FROM THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY EAST TOWARDS DC METRO. FURTHER NORTH, DRY AIR FROM THE HIGH TO THE NORTH AND CONFLUENCE SHOULD LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST, THE INCREASED LOW DEVELOPMENT AND CLOSER POSITION INCREASES THE RISK OF MIXING WITH SLEET, FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN, RESULTING IN LOWERED TOTALS COMPARED TO AREAS NORTH AND WEST. FOR TONIGHT, WARM ADVECTION WILL SPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, SO THAT AREAS WHERE IT IS NOT SNOWING WILL SEE SNOW SOON. THE SNOW THIS EVENING WILL BE LIGHT, BUT SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS WE APPROACH MORNING. HEAVIEST BANDED SNOW LIKELY TO SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS THE NEW SURFACE LOW STRENGTHENS TO OUR SOUTHEAST. THIS IS ALSO THE TIME IN WHICH MIXING WILL START BECOMING AN ISSUE, FIRST IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA DOWN TOWARDS AND ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF CHARLOTTESVILLE/STAUNTON, THEN DURING THE MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN MD AND PERHAPS INTO THE FREDERICKSBURG AREA. AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON, SNOW WILL LIGHTEN UP AND COLDER AIR WRAPPING BACK IN SHOULD DIMINISH THE MIXING. HOWEVER, THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LOW LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO KEEP SNOW FALLING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY STAY AT OR BELOW FREEZING MOST OF THE STORM, THOUGH ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS ARE A RISK IN SOUTHERN MD. LOWS WON'T DROP MUCH TONIGHT, WITH 20S COMMON, AND TEMPS RISING TO AROUND FREEZING ON SUNDAY, WITH HIGHS LIKELY AFTER SNOW STARTS TO DIMINISH A BIT IN THE AFTERNOON. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
