Central PA Spring 2022


Recommended Posts

There's an amazing difference between relatively warmer temps to my east while everyone to my west and southwest is between 32 and 33 degrees.

It's been 100% snowing here for over an hour.  However, the temp has only dropped to 34.3 and it's not heavy enough to accumulate yet.  It's fascinating seeing places south of me along the I-81 corridor colder.  I just need heavier rates to drop the temp further and to get any accumulation going.  Mulch still bare.

This morning's HRRR was forecasting 1.00" of all rain for me earlier.  That inch of rain falls between 2pm and midnight.  Will be interesting to see what happens as the sun begins to sink further.  Will have to wait until probably 4 or 5pm for that.

Hey...I just got a text that Cumberland county is now under a winter weather advisory until 8:00pm this evening!  I'm sure someone else will post the particulars soon.

The NWS gave up on their forecast.   Wish other parts of the LSV could get in it but about 1/3 of the LSV, including far southern Areas, are scoring.

Just measured 3.2”, still heavy snow and 31.5ºF. What a beat down. 

We have about 1.5" here.  The sun and temps are melting some otherwise we would be up in your area.  I am hoping it keeps snowing until close to dark so we can have some left tomorrow AM and have two days with snow on ground in April.  Plus, some people are going to get additional accums tomorrow...could be an I80 watch day.

So Altoona is already above the NWS forecasted?

It’s right in the middle of the forecast range right now for the advisory, which for this county was 2-4 with up to 6 on the ridge tops. The ridges probably do have a bit more but in general the elevational component is out the window at the moment in this area. 

The key late this afternoon into part of the evening is going to be how the precip shield evolves as the coastal winds up. If we remain in the steady moderate to heavy precip which seems to be a possibility on the last couple runs of the HRRR than yea, this is definitely going to overachieve and probably be a warning event. But if we get a lull or miss the banding that winds up from the coastal, it’ll probably be close to what was forecasted. Either way, this is impressive for being right at the max solar part of the day.
