Mount Holly seems less enthused about the potential lol. The pretty maps. Fwiw, the Icon already busted low for mby! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 11 minutes ago, MillvilleWx said: One of the pieces of guidance I like to look at and others should too is the HRW WRF-NSSL which does a fairly decent job in the mesoscale and isn't as prone to crazy convective feedback issues like some of the CAM's. It's a pretty areawide 5-8" through 00z Tuesday with more snow afterwards, but the run ends since it only goes out to 48 hrs. It has you in 4-6" fairly easily. I'd be curious to see it's 12z run. I'm dissecting the HREF next and seeing what kind of signals I can deduce in terms if WAA snow, then coastal in a probabilistic sense. I'm going to try to make a rough map forecast, albeit late, for what I think might occur. I still want to see a picture of your house in the snow On the Euro when 850mb low moves a bit SE off the SNJ coast it gets into a pretty decent spot. This is what I have been watching. Cant see the upper levels on the Icon, but I have a feeling it looks similar. GFS has the action further east/southeast during this timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This trailing piece is definitely something everyone from Carroll to the DE will want to watch out for. It's a nice low-level vort to provide modest ascent with a saturated boundary layer This trailer could easily drop 2-3" of fresh powder prior to the storm shutting off. It's been on quite a few models the last 36 hrs, so it has merit. Might not be solved until close to end game though, so patience will be a virtue. Hope you cash with 5-8" over there! 5 minutes ago, CAPE said: On the Euro when 850mb low moves a bit SE off the SNJ coast it gets into a pretty decent spot. This is what I have been watching.

The Ole Bucket Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Looks like I’m waking up to a couple inches on the ground. Official spotter had 1.4” a little before 4AM. Definitely more than that out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that is interesting on the GFS is this panel as the deform band is just beginning to develop nw of the low. Has some heavy precip and 850s and surface are cooling at the same time. This is 'recorded' as rain (here) verbatim on the model, but maybe it ends up rain flipping to snow as temps are starting to crash during this window. GFS is also warmer than other guidance. ICON has it too and it thinks it's snow here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 29° and light snow. Not the best trends since the afternoon yesterday but still going with 5”+ for the dc metro (dca 3.2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Very light snow with a dusting in Germantown, 29 degrees. My bar for this storm is 6" and that might be tough with the way things look right now. My point-click forecast is just 2-4 for today and I don't think we get any here tomorrow.

ovechkin Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Very unimpressive so far. 30 in wheaton with light snow. Dusting on the grass. Street just wet. Without any rates this will be an all day couple of inches deal. The WAA snow didn’t start early nor come in like a wall. Not good signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
