Richmond Metro/Hampton Roads Area Discussion


RIC Airport

Nice blend of overnight runs still a little all over the place but I think a general consensus is that Metro Richmond and immediate south and east are looking at a good 2-4/3-5

Precipitation transport looks solid now, not spotty with a nice slug overnight Friday/Saturday over top of FRIGID ground.

The question is Hampton Rds, which I suspect will differ drastically from just a few miles depending upon latitude. That warm nose looks to come straight from the east Southeast or due south so Norfolk may be snowing with 3 inches on the ground while the heart of Chesapeake is getting a sleet storm and further south into interior Northeast North Carolina just plain old freezing rain or rain with an inch of crust. Still time for changes in either direction but either way it's going to be interesting.

Then it gets cold again next week. Maybe even colder than this past week. Impressive winter so far for sure.

 

Yup, this month may end up being the coldest January since at least 2014, possibly the 1980s if this keeps up. And two measurable events within seven days quite a treat for us. 

Btw, saw this WTKR map moments ago.

It's usually dryer than ground truth. Especially in the summertime with storms. Does a pretty poor job actually. Maybe if better with winter events. I don't know

You may be right, I only follow it for certain events of interest. Not sure how it does with storms.

Yes as it stands and is currently modeled right now, it doesn't look like this has much of a chance to produce prolific numbers anywhere outside of the deeper south. 2-4 is just as likely as 1-2 or 4-6. Unless things get together in sync I don't think there's a Max potential for anything over 8 for any of us... but still early and you never know. Anything coming out of the Gulf can do special things, or not. At least there's something to look at.

what's your thoughts now on amount for RIC

The timing of this event reminds me of the 2/26/2015 storm. It was an overnight event starting around midnight or so and quickly became heavy snow for a few hours. RIC finished with 5 inches and it was all done around sunrise. 

A few images I saved from that event. February 2015 overall was a really go month, a ton of cold and good snows.

Hoping we all cash in. from metro Richmond to Hampton roads 3-5 inches. Of course I’m greedy and want 5 up here but want you guys in on it too

It's hard not to hedge bets win the European model still is so dry and south. If we do get 3 to 5 inches it is a big model fail for the European model.
