MN Transplant Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 For anyone worried about the “hole” to the south, that isn’t our problem from DC north. The current radar and all the modeling indicates that the second round of precip is from the expansion/enhancement of the shield from the west. The remaining question is whether that can get here in time to head off the sleet line (which is coming, but can be effectively slowed by heavier precip). Ob: Nice fat flakes falling. Not pouring snow, but not exactly a lazy fall either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This is crazy heavy here. I literally cant see the houses 100 yards away from me. Haven't seen rates like this since GB16. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtkidz Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just about two inches here in Fredericksburg. Maybe another 1” or so then sleet and the plain rain to wash it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird to see, but will help offset the IP line for a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 There are some reduced RhoHV values north and east of Albemarle County indicating sleet mixing. Still > 100 km from the LWX radar. Also, enhanced ZDR values outside of the heaviest bands indicate good ice crystal growth. Decreases in ZDR and large increases in reflectivity (ZH) in the heavier bands indicate an efficient aggregation process as the aggregates lose their horizontal alignment/extreme aspect ratios. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
