Festus Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 My point and click for Friday says - "A chance of rain showers before 8am, then a chance of rain and snow showers after noon. Some thunder is also possible. Partly sunny, with a high near 50." Squall line potential like the other day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Saw some mPING obs with rain/snow around State College. Blue Knob ski resort has snow falling. Looked like a bit of accumulation too judging by their f-book pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don’t have a gauge currently but I believe it has rained 12.78” today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The situation 5 miles (and +1200’ elev) away, S+ and accums starting. Down here it’s mainly rain with cat paws/slush drops. Full transition looked to be about 1600-1800’. Looking at all the bright banding on CCX radar essentially down to right over the radar. This thing was about 2 or 3 degrees at the surface-925mb level from being a paste bomb in the AOO-UNV region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The 18z GFS says that @Bubbler86 & @Cashtown_Coop might flip to snow overnight. Most of us tomorrow afternoon have a chance at getting some snow showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The 18z GFS also improved for the Monday & Monday night storm chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a chance but it looks to come down to timing of the potential wave vs the press of the cold air boundary. Too quick and its too far north and too late and best precip runs south of the area. 18z GFS looked suggestive of a rain to snow scenario as the cold presses south with the wave moving through our region. That would obviously be a risky scenario this time of the year. Still pretty decent lead time for resolving details with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Snowiest 511 cam I can find at the moment in C-PA surprisingly is the Sideling Hill US 30 cam in Fulton County. This is east of Breezewood and just south of the turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some thunder is also possible. Partly sunny, with a high near 50." Squall line potential like the other day? Not necessarily squall line potential but there will be a ton of instability tomorrow in the wake of our deepening coastal storm. The strong late March sun that will likely come out at times esp in the Sus Valley and south central and surface heating vs the cold air aloft will definitely ensure low level instability and numerous pop up rain/snow showers (likely in more cellular fashion). There will also be decent instability at the mid levels too with the very deep closed 500mb low over the NE bringing in a lobe of -35 to -40ªC air over PA tomorrow afternoon/evening at the 500mb level. Should be some feisty showers of whatever tomorrow.. probably more snow in the Laurels/central counties and rain in the Sus Valley. This is the type of setup that graupel is quite possible too along with rumbles of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hearing a few pingers on my window awnings this morning. Snowing I believe in Hazleton, and ground is white at a friends house (per a photo) in Lake Harmony. Have 1.87" in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 A lot of weather going on in the northeast this morning. We're suppose to get snow flurries this afternoon. Northeast Pa. could see 2-3" of snow I see. Upstate New York a major snow storm. We fringed the rain last night, missed the real heavy stuff.

I was supposed to do a Hazleton Area High School field trip today, but they got enough snow for a 3 hour delay which automatically cancelled out the trip. So now I'm back at home and lost a day of pay. Here in Tamaqua, we had a few pingers but for all intents, it was all rain and no accumulation, but once I got up the hill a mile from the house it was snowing. Then, when I got up the next hill to McAdoo, that's where the roads caved and I saw 1-3 inches the rest of the way to our bus garage in Hazleton. This was at the Valero gas station in McAdoo this morning just 6 miles from my house... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
