Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Temperatures drop emphatically between 12-18Z Friday...from 50-55 to the mid-20s (there about) in the DC-Balt corridor. It looks even colder by 18Z Friday in this run compared to the last one but that's probably run-to-run noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 A crazy cold front with some snow on the back end would be pretty coo. I’m not going to pretend I’m not bummed out as hell about having days worth of GFS runs snowing on us and it ending like this, but I suppose it’ll just have to do. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand yeah, similar to this last weekend the track of the low isn’t ideal for optimizing upslope. We want it bombing out and heading N/NE of the area so the winds are coming straight out of the NW off the lakes. This has evolved into bombing out/decaying to our WNW before lifting NE. Will still have upslope but not nearly as much as what could have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 DC goes from 50 at 10a Friday to 30 at 11a Friday on the GFS. That would be pretty remarkable. ~0.1” QPF falls in DC after 11a. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 In terms of the cold, people are talking up some days with lows in the teens and highs in the 20s? That used to be routine...

eduggs Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Anybody with access to the GEFS individual members care to share the approximate southeastern extent of the ULL amongst the individuals at 18z and 0z.

CAPE Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Euro/CMC vs. GFS again? I'm just rooting for that little sliver of gray to shift north a bit for mby flizzard. CMC has it too and its even more pronounced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
