Normally i'd say expect radar to fall apart over the next 2 hours but all bets are off on this one. This storm already broke all the rules. Why stop now? Check your math, big guy. Western extent is still expanding west. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I am pretty sure I read somewhere, about 4 pm, that DCA had 7. So should be close to 9 by storm end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am amazing and extremely localized storm I like to use this loop to see the subsidence on the back end of storms coming through. Sure, it's composite but that's helpful in seeing the non (or very light) precip features. It's helpful for the back edge hallucinations that are created by the spine of the mountains to our west as well since LWX radar does not typically see over the ridge tops but KRLX and KBPX can see what's over there. https://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/wxloop.cgi?radar_us_full+/2h/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxpatriot Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Snow finally broke through the M/D about 30 minutes ago. Pouring snow right now.

At 615 PM EST, numerous snow showers, some moderate-to-heavy, continue in much of the region east of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, including the greater Baltimore and Washington Metropolitan Areas. Visibilities in some of these snow showers are less than a quarter of a mile, with road conditions quickly deteriorating now that it is after sunset. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until Midnight, with an additional 1 to 3 inches of snowfall expected before tapering off to flurries around midnight. Temperatures will drop into the lower 20s overnight, so significant refreezing is likely. Icy roads are possible as the snow melts on the roads then quickly refreezes. Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling.

JakkelWx Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Snow slowly advancing northeast and I'm getting flurries. Temp down to 29.
