yoda Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Mesoscale Discussion 0006 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 AM CST Tue Jan 07 2020 Areas affected...Parts of northern Virginia...central Maryland and south central Pennsylvania Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 071729Z - 071930Z SUMMARY...A 1 to 3 hour period of snow, perhaps occasionally including rates in excess of 1 inch per hour, will impact areas near and west through north of the District of Columbia through 2-4 PM EST. DISCUSSION...Lower/mid tropospheric warm advection ahead of a vigorous short wave trough is contributing to an area of strong lift now beginning to spread east-northeast of the Blue Ridge. Particularly across northern Virginia, central Maryland and adjacent portions of south central Pennsylvania, lift is becoming maximized in the 700-500 mb layer, where forecast soundings indicate temperature and moisture profiles are becoming conducive to large dendritic ice crystal growth. Although near surface profiles are initially relatively dry and warm across and northwest of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, evaporative cooling/melting within an initial burst of heavy snow should cool and saturate this environment sufficiently to allow for a period of accumulating snow. Aided by precipitable water on the order of .4 to .5 inches, this may include snow rates of 1/2 to 1 inch+ per hour, before stronger mid-level ascent spreads east-northeast of the D.C. area. Although this lift may overspread the Baltimore and Philadelphia metropolitan areas later this afternoon, an initially warmer boundary layer (surface temperatures now in the lower/mid 40s) across these areas seem likely to result in decreasing potential for accumulating snow. ..Kerr.. 01/07/2020 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
