Fields27 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 That line has been holding together nicely. I've also been following the obs down in the MA and there is almost no virga with that line. That brings up a question tho. If that line comes through and we get some snow, does that line itself moisten up the atmosphere so that when the next batch gets here we won't have to deal with virga?

CoolHandMike Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Sky looks menacingly dark to the west. Doesn't have that "snow sky" look to it; more like a spring-time storm front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Here is a zoomed out view of it. It still feels to me that it may dry up some on the front, but we'll see. It has held together so far...

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk I'm thinking that is correct, hoping it's not hours until the main batch gets here. Eta - under bright greens here now but nothing yet...

JTA66 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Radar seems to be doing a little back building around Baltimore. (Probably just radar hallucinations on my part.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The sun was looking like it was trying to bust out to the east here but I know that is an illusion. Temp is up to 24 so... Dp is still single digits at 8. That line has been moving relatively quickly and part of it should be over Paul by now so am wondering if anything is falling there.

KamuSnow Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Still under bright greens here and nothing reaching the ground yet. Heavy virga! The RH outside here is 46%, which based on past experience needs to get up to 55 or 60% to see snow making it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Dark band right over me and few few flakes making it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think based on the past that obs could be posted in event threads like this along with the model analysis (to distinguish from the general "non-event" obs thread).
