so now we have the gfs and nam with over 5 inches in Ric and the euro with what a inch. Who will win again. Hmm USA 

Brother. Don’t post when you’re upset at one model run. May be time for a post limit again for you. You’re being belligerent.

This was one run then came all the way back south. Whatever

It did not waiver as much as all the other models. It had blips, but a lot less than others. I am sure I don’t need to remind you of all the dynamics that cause forecasting to be difficult.  Euro is just a tool, but it shouldn’t be discounted.

Im not upset at all. Just saying the euro didnt do well with the last storm. gfs and nam did much better thats all. Just not really paying attention to the euro this storm and paying more attention to the usa models. Limit post me Idc. Just pointing out facts

18Z GEFS Ensembles giving us 5-6 and staying comfortably below 0 at 850mb for the duration of the event.  You love to see it. 

Wakefield is saying watches that remained in place around Richmond will likely need to be upgraded to a warning. 

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
945 PM EST Thursday Update...

General trend among the 00z model suite, including among the
hi-res output, has been a continued upward trend in
QPF/snowfall amounts with a slightly more amplified system.
There is also better agreement on the potential placement of a
narrow band of higher totals in the 4-6" range, generally across
the northern tier of the current Winter Storm Warning per the
00z HRRR and NAM. While we will defer the final decision on
headline upgrades to the overnight shift, it is looking quite
likely that the winter storm watches for wrn Chesterfield, the
city of Richmond, and points W will need to be upgraded to a
warning for 3-5" of snow. Additionally, at least advisories will
almost certainly be needed for a tier or two of counties N of
the current watches/warnings, including on the MD Eastern Shore.
Higher uncertainty remains over the SE due to mixing/p-type
concerns, but will also need at least advisories here as well.

Updated map, somewhere between RIC and PHF could hit 6 inches.

What's up with Virginia Beach in the purple? 

They believe mixing could cut down on totals there but still believe up to 2" is possible. 

Saw the below graphics on WAVY, first explains why southside Hampton Roads is tricky.

We are getting close to now casting time but overnight computer models seemed to be a little drier and a little more south. So I'm making my official call for the airport 3 inches lol. Meeting Richmond,. 

That pesky dry air up this way is what they are picking up on. Hopefully it's a bit overdone. From the looks of the radar, you'd think we'd be getting a foot.

It's legit unfortunately. I don't think it's possible to start off with a much drier airmass than this one lol. Especially this far south. 

That said, it's not a clipper and the front side of the snow is WAA and it's super juicy to the south. It may not take too long to get things saturated. Ratios may start off kinda weak then fluff up as we go into the night. 10:1 seems like a safe bet unless there's an enhanced band of lift with staying power. 

This is a good example sounding of what I'm thinking. Flakes won't be big and fluffy with those omegas. Last couple hours of snowfall look much better though and time will tell like always.
