Baltimorewx Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just now, Steve25 said: I'm an amateur so forgive me, but am I really to expect accumulation in Baltimore with temps in the 40s, warm pavement already, and the system only lasting a few hours? I'm skeptical as well...we will ultimately see how high the temp gets. If mid 40s is a reality, I say no way. But a burst of snow is still probably in order around 5PM or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I predict ECNPZ to start declaring a bust within the hour as virga fills in above and no flakes making it to the surface. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He desperately wants someone to tell him he's wrong and he will get tons of snow. So that's why he keeps putting his bait out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 DC isn't as bad as I thought going from the comments here, but I mean, I know where I live. I don't have any expectations that this is going to be anything but snow TV or some kind of mixed mess while the usual areas are getting ripped. It is what it is, no point in whining about it. I'm just happy to be tracking something and seeing snow, so I'm stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBE up to an inch on grass and cold surfaces, but I'm thinking more like half an inch and wet roads. That's been my call for a few days now. Feel pretty confident now. North and west areas will certainly do much better, so I understand why those folks are really into it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 SPC Discussion calls it “four star snow” I move we refer to heavy snow as such going forward. Recent observations show 4-star snow along the WV/VA border, and additional heavy snow rates are likely to develop northeastward through midday, eventually reaching the western MD Panhandle. In addition, cooling aloft may result in small elevated MUCAPE values, adding to heavy snow burst potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 43 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: Pretty cool pivoting feature of enhanced precip on the NAMs. Looks like a mini IVT with a hint of comma head. Could be a shelter in place couple hours for many in CMD I’ve been noticing that for a couple days. There seems to be a perfectly aligned weak IVT which is enhancing the FGEN and moisture convergence over our area for a time. Could add a little extra pop to the event for some that end up under those bands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
