I’d rather it be 60 and rain. You should move east near 95. You'd get both wishes on the regular. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 11pm ob. 45.6F, 1.2 drop in last hour. That area nicely centered around Raleigh looks great . I’m hoping for centered around Richmond next and then Here ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Somebody in my regional sub mentioned this storm, so I decided to check it out. Is there a reason why the NWS is being conservative with amounts across the area? It isn't just one spot, it seems like it is across the board. The models look pretty impressive.

I still think 2-4 is a good call for us. But we were out of the heavy stuff as soon as the GFS sniffed this one.

I mean it’s still 48 in DC and we’re a few hours from onset of precipitation…have to believe a few hours is wasted due to warm antecedent conditions. Hard to buy the 12”+ solutions. But it should still be impressive for 4 to 6 hours particularly like 8am to 1pm in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help that it's still in the mid 40s. I'm just here for the 2"/hr rates post sunrise tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just headed up to Freddysburg with my 3 cats and checked in a hotel to see some snow flakes. So worried Beans, Bill, and Balls will not get their first token flakes. Are you doing a bit? I feel like you really didn't get my message a while back. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it should still be impressive for 4 to 6 hours particularly like 8am to 1pm in my opinion I always thought, when ptype would be an issue, that the 3KM NAM Ferrier SLR would be a good sanity check. Even in this case, when the warm layer is mainly (entirely) surface based instead of aloft. I would look at these totals as the lower percentiles or "expect at least this much". I know this map isn't comforting for most of us, including me with MBY in central AA County. But we are going to need those rippin' rates. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convective banding would only add to the disparity of the haves and have nots. You're either getting light snow or mixed precip or ripping fatties, with little in between. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 46/36. Seems likely we’ll lose the overnight hours’ QPF on rain/mixed precip except for the far N/W areas like Winchester. Tomorrow morning (post daybreak) looks fun though. 4-8” seems like a good call for Arl/Alex/DC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably in the 3 inch range on that map, but oh so close to nothing or more than doubling that amount. Going to be so interesting to see how this plays out and who gets what and which model was best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
