Mailman Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... The eve update generally involved some cosmetic adjustments as widespread snow continues in response to an encroaching upper trough which features an impressive coupled jet structure. The resulting divergence is generating a strengthening frontogenetically forced snow band which will cross the I 79 corridor during the rush hour. Otherwise expect variable snow intensity and flake size until mid level dry slot encroachment in the predawn of Thursday. That process with declining omega values/ascent parameters will signal the end of accumulating snow potential. Patchy freezing drizzle will linger, but ice accumlation greater than a trace is not anticipated in that time frame. No changes were made to warning and advisory headlines.

CoraopolisWx Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Short term guidance still looks good. We still have a shot a double digits, if the banding can over perform this evening. The key was getting off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 9 hours ago, KPITSnow said: The 6z euro continues the trend of cutting back...kuchera totals are 7-8 inches in AGC (had been over 10 forever) and that means 10:1 are likely closer to 6. given how bad the HRRR is I just don’t think this event is going to go well give how everything has been trending. Plus, Climo...it always wins out here. edit: just saw the euro qpf map...about .6-.7 inches from west to East in the county. have to hope at this point that we get lucky to get under good banding...otherwise I’ll be really happy if I just get 6 inches or more. Sticking with my 2-4...maybe 3-5. Really not my best work..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
