NorthArlington101 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 31 here. Definitely better flakes. I think we with better rates, we snow up until 12-1230 ish?Seems to have transitioned fully to better flakes IMBY. Sleet is temporarily gone. I’m hoping we can push it a little past 12:00-12:30 but that’s because I’m hugging the HRRR. That’s probably a realistic guess, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker03 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Light snow in Derwood (north Rockville, Bob Chill country), sticking to roofs and driveways. There is such a gradient in MoCo I still have no idea what to expect here. Trying to enjoy what we get. Good luck to those out west/north who have higher expectations -- hope you cash in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Quote Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1031 AM EST Wed Dec 16 2020 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will reside over Quebec and northern New England, extending southward across the eastern slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. Low pressure over the Southeast will lift northward today and strengthen as it tracks toward the Virginia Tidewater region and the Delmarva Peninsula tonight. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Mid-morning update: Precipitation is currently overspreading the area from southwest to northeast as large scale ascent/warm advection aloft overspreads the area in advance of the approaching shortwave. A pronounced warm nose at around 800 hPa was evident on the 12z IAD sounding, with wetbulb temperatures at that level just below freezing. An even stronger warm nose was noted on the RNK sounding at the same level (with temps there pushing above freezing around 800 hPa). As of 10 AM, this warm nose has pushed northward into portions of central Virginia. CHO has switched over to sleet, and a drop in CC/ increase in Zdr is evident on radar stretching from Greene County to southern Stafford County. This depicts the current location of the mixing line (drop in CC/increase in Zdr is indicative of melting of hydrometeors within the cloud layer). The main challenge throughout the day will be forecasting the advance of this warm nose aloft toward the north and west, and its resultant impact on precipitation types across the area. Current guidance suggests that the warm nose will make it roughly to the Blue Ridge, making mixing possible at times for locations to the east of the Blue Ridge. Mixing with sleet is also expected to the west of the Blue Ridge in the central Shenandoah Valley. Precipitation is expected to remain all snow further north in the I-81 corridor near MRB and points west, where the highest totals are expected. Snowfall rates may reach 1-3 inches per hour in those locations by later this afternoon and evening, making for hazardous travel. Surface temperatures will need to be watched closely along the I-95 corridor to see just how much frozen precip occurs before locations go over to plain rain. The rate of advance of the warm nose will also be key, as it will determine just how long precip stays snow initially. As of now, the only major forecast change planned is to cut back snow totals across central Virginia, where they've already switched over to mixed precipitation. We will continue to monitor trends and adjust the forecast as needed throughout the remainder of the day. An 18z balloon launch is planned to assess the state of the warm nose aloft. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ole Bucket Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Basically it's coming down pretty good everywhere except literally where I am. This is not a complaint. Not really. Just an observation. A few miles up the road it's a strong snow/sleet. In Culpeper everything is white. I haven't tested it outside but I fear a lot of ice..

All seriousness living here as long as I have, its a smart move to expect the warm nose earlier than any piece of guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
