Hypothetical 240 hour snow Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 ICON has a coastal rider (secondary basically travels straight north after the energy transfer)... not a good solution for us (although still likely 3-6 inches), but it is only the ICON. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 WAA on the ICON is beastly. Looks like its trying to start jumping at 93. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confluence is further ne 3 mb weaker though and it looks like the transfer will happen sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Great WAA thump on the ICON. Cold air damning more pronounced. Looks like it’s gonna be a decent run all considering even if the coastal doesn’t pan out 100% 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SLP panels are on WxBell already and it forms near OBX then heads NE about 100 miles off ORF then heads NW from there and makes “landfall” at ACY. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it trying to start jumping to OBX at 93. Now I just want to see the CCB. It does have a pretty nasty dryslot out this way during the jump though.

KAOS Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm all for the tuck when it works and if it takes some tucking... I am all in. But if this tucking doesn't work out I will not be tucking happy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like places south of Baltimore miss out on the coastal action just by looking at the total precip maps. It’s such a wonky evolution. I like the WAA a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The primary on the icon definitely holds on too long and development is late but we saw nice trends with the WAA precip and cold air damming. Still time for us to work on the coastal stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec 2009 measured 26 inches, and Feb 2003 at 22 inches. In Feb 03 , if not for the sleet would have easily been 30 inches here. Seems what works for your area and for areas near the coastal plain are uniquely different, but makes sense based on your location. Not just me specifically those are the biggest storms to affect our region as a whole the last 30 years. However...the Delmarva and southeast VA are a different climo zone when it comes to snow. They can do “ok” when DC and Balt and places west get a HECS but honestly for you to “Jack” required a different type of storm usually. For Baltimore and IAD and me to be getting 20”+ usually means your mixed or dry slotting because to get that kind of moisture feed here the low is too close for you. There are some rare exceptions like (ironically) PD1 and PD2 (for different reasons) but those are rare exceptions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the EPS members had that jump east on them. Anything is still possible at this point. Which is why I want as a big of a WAA thump as we can get. Give me the easy snow. I will worry about the rest later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it’s not the euro is the primary gains too much latitude before the transfer and the h5 instead of digging and amplifying in phase with the secondary opens up as it approaches. In other words it’s a messy transfer. Fix that and it’s a euro like solution. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm wondering how long it'll be until we get consensus on the coastal track...I mean the euro and gfs can't be at this stalemate too much longer!

nj2va Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Through 72, the vort is stronger than prior runs which has been a big difference from the Euro. GFS weakens the vort as it heads east whereas Euro holds/strengthens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
