a.salt Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Mesoscale Discussion 1854 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 PM CST Wed Dec 16 2020 Areas affected...Northeast West Virginia...northern Virginia...western Maryland...and central to eastern Pennsylvania Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 161857Z - 170000Z SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall rates around 2 inches per hour are expected to increase in coverage through the mid to late afternoon hours across portions of the Mid-Atlantic. Heavy snowfall will likely continue into the overnight hours for portions of eastern/northeastern Pennsylvania. DISCUSSION...Precipitation continues to gradually increase in coverage across much of the Mid-Atlantic region within a broad swath of strong warm air advection between 850-700 mb (per recent RAP soundings and mesoanalysis). Mixed precipitation types continue to be reported within the precipitation transition zone along the Roanoke to Fredericksburg, VA line. While a wintry mix, including pockets of freezing rain, will continue in the near term, this zone should become more limited spatially through the mid/late afternoon hours. Further north, moderate, to at times heavy, snowfall rates have been observed (as evidenced by visibility reductions to one-quarter mile and observed snow rates around 2 inches per hour for some locations in northeast WV). Heading through the afternoon, the low that is currently advancing northward along the Carolina coast will continue to deepen. As this occurs, mid-level winds will strengthen and begin to tighten the 850-700 mb baroclinic zone and augment warm advection across the region. As isentropic and frontogenetical lift increase, snowfall rates will see a corresponding uptick in intensity. Lift within the dentritic growth zone and weak instability closer to the coast will help further augment snowfall rates. Widespread snowfall rates above 1 inch per hour over the region are likely, and the potential for widespread snowfall rates exceeding two inches per hour will increase through 00 UTC as the potential for organized frontogenetical/deformation-driven snow bands increases. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just did second shovel. There was 3 times as much snow as first time. Nice driveway snow walls already. First clearing of snowboard and I had 4.2 inches in the board. That means I picked up 1.7 inches in the past hour. Got another .3 in the 10 minutes it took me to shovel the driveway. 4.2 inches so far and still dumping. Under 1/4 mile vb for sure 13 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Heaviest snow of the day now. I see the sleet line approaching. Went out and blew the driveway of between 4 and 5 inches of snow. If it could just hold like this the rest of the day I would be cool with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltosquid Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Think the snow is on its last legs in by Patterson, flakes are smaller and I occasionally hear some impacts on the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
