They will be launching the balloon from Dulles in a few minutes. We’ll get the results in 45-60 min. The SPC mesoanalysis page has a model-derived estimate of the upper air structure right now. 850s are a problem (more than 700 or 925). I’m guessing there is even a worse layer in there above 850. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 WBAL just now - Lowell mesler live on 40 in Ellicott city w/ sleet and freezing rain. Jen Franciotti live in Westminster with snow. 25 here still and sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be interested if we make it to the 0.8 QPF that basically all models had us at but I won't hold my breath. Radar is looking awfully mediocre at best; I'd like to say I'm surprised but I expected this. That LWX AFD about the warm nose last night was the nail in the coffin for this one.

wolfman23601 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Freezing rain all the way down in Newport News. Nice coating of ice on my deck. Should change over and wash away any minute but we weren’t supposed to get any frozen precip so I’ll take it, LOL. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
