Cobalt Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 ^ mid 20s all the way down to Short Pump will definitely do some damage. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The GFS is damn cold on Friday night and Saturday morning as well. Like single digits cold. This after reaching a high of 34 out here on Friday. Anything that does fall is going to turn into a glacier. Would be a prolonged mess for sure.

Weather Will Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 WB 18Z GEFS...850s continue to improve compared to 12Z; question Not clear if we are hoping for a more suppressed track or is the low reforming off the coast? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things just started looking more wintry after days of looking like a pure rain maker. I'm sure if this is a real trend and it continues into tomorrow, the weather app forecasts will start to resemble it. Ah thanks but its funny cause I went frim seeing 38 on friday yesterday to 41 for friday today but that explains it lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand if your bitter that model snow has not turned into real snow in multiple cases, but you're going to get annoyed with people for posting model results in a thread that is made for doing just that?

dallen7908 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Fun to watch the heights over the eastern U.S. get beaten down and the push of the TPV into the Dakotas. Wintry mix incoming for many of us (duh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ship may have already sailed but there's still a way to win big if 850s push far enough south and confluence fights off some of the southerly flow with precip. You've heard us say thump to dryslot a lot around here but they've always found ways to not work out last few years. This one has the ingredients so far but much skepticism remains until much closer range. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 The storm on the ICON would be really bad. Just look at its precip totals and ground temps. Wow. Also, question for anyone who wants it ... would more cad, meaning a wider wedge if that makes any sense, be a setup where a low transfer to the coast becomes more likely. (Better boundary?) The thing that keeps catching my eye is that low track up the west side of the apps. I’d love to see that low to Chattanooga and then jump. I’m sure we all would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I was envisioning the front side of the thurs storm and started thinking about how the onset would look. Even though the high is locked in too far north, it's still strong and there's still confluence. Theoretically, that wall of cold will push back against the warm moist flow and streaming precip from the south. It will be on the move but precip could be heavy at the beginning and snow if things work out. 700mb fronto panels on the 18z gfs agree 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Obviously this is not happening exactly this way....but it illustrates that any of those waves in the long range is a threat to get suppressed so long as we have blocking this time of year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the low in that setup. Almost identical placement to ours on Thursday. That one in yours then jumps off the coast at Norfolk. Ours Thursday heads straight to Rochester. Not very typical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one in yours then jumps off the coast at Norfolk. Ours Thursday heads straight to Rochester. Not very typical. The flow to our north is a little more blocked for that storm at 330. Not perfect, -NAO is east based and the 50/50 is a bit north but still there is some mechanism to suppress. This week we are relying on a dying tpv as it gets absorbed into the flow to temporarily knock down heights and create suppression. But once that feature abates there is nothing to stop it from cutting. Our only path to keeping the low to our south is of it gets suppressed enough early on to get it under us then it can lift north once to the coast. But once the influence of that tpv feature relaxes it likely will lift north pretty drastically. The trough axis is amplified pretty far west with no blocking.

Piece of the TPV is once again stronger and lingers North of us a bit longer as the trend has been, but the sw is stronger and attempts to undo those positive changes. Midlevels look marginally better, except for 700mb temps which stick out like a sore thumb. Still a heavy thump of wintry precip for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a met on Philly forum that has done some stat verifications on it. It runs too cold. Overall it’s done a decent job this winter imo. Bottom line is you want it to be showing snow if there’s a chance. Just another piece of guidance though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
