That doesn’t line up well with surface obs. The front is just entering the western tip of Va. Jackson Ky which is a bit east of that 32 line had the front go through 4 hours ago and reported light snow in their latest ob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complain about 65F and sunny?? Well then, I give you 50s and flooding rains .... and then I will give you miserable wind and the cold that you needed several hours earlier. Light rain currently. Foggy and gross. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas East Coast friend! Total crap season here so far. Consistently too warm for anything more than slop mix at my elevation. Drought year too continues, unless there is a surprise in the next week I will end up with less than 10” of precipitation for the year! That is even dry by high desert standards. Hell of a lot of bluebird clear sky days this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm struggling to understand the severe warning, as while that's an impressive feature on radar, it shouldn't be surface-based and therefore unable to get the winds to the ground. But I'm prepared to be wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm prepared to be wrong.... There was like 10 mph winds during the heavy rain, that was about it. Did get like 0.75” of rain fairly quickly, but not really much wind at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any ground reports that suggest that's happening right now though. My gust spreads here have been large even in the absence of precip so far -- so it seems possible.

It just feels like LWX likes to warn on these things a lot, and the false alarm rate is super high. For this event, I'd rather wait for a report to come in before pulling the trigger, although it's easy for me to say that without my neck on the line.

Pretty 'warm" at the surface here. 63. Rain on the doorstep. With that strong LLJ, maybe some of those winds could mix down? Already had some random gusts earlier when the sun was peaking through the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDreamer Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Heavy line just hit me east of IAD. Absolutely POURING rain... weather station says .28” in the last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Latest from Mount Holly on wind potential- Winds between 925 mb-850 mb will average 85-95 kt tonight, and with heavy rain and a tight pressure gradient, a good deal of those winds will mix down, especially along the coastal areas. Even back towards southeast Pennsylvania, the LLJ will average 75-85 kt winds. The High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories remain in effect for most of the areas, but will make one change. Currently expecting 60-70 mph winds along the barrier island of New Jersey and into coastal portions of mainland New Jersey, as well into Sussex county, Delaware. Will upgrade from Wind Advisory to a High Wind Warning there. For the rest of the region, maximum wind gusts will range from 45-55 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
