Richmond Metro/Hampton Roads Area Discussion


RIC Airport

Recommended Posts

[mention=2094]jlewis1111[/mention]Somehow the snow maps are finished through hour 360, but for everything else, the Euro on wxbell seems to be stuck around hour 51, so I can't see all the panels. Might have to go on other sites to see whether there is any mixing in Hampton Roads or how close it gets.

Still very cold inland with widespread 1.00"+ QPF from RVA to Hampton Roads. Euro does indicate some mixing for the southside for a time. 

Some cement to lock in the first few inches after the initial waa thump. That's fine.

I'm fine with fringe mixing especially once most the snow has fallen haha

If trends continue, you may not mix at all, maybe even be the jackpot. The snowfall distribution suggests this event wants to set up like the 1/7/2017 storm.

Here is Wakefield's summary. 

https://www.weather.gov/akq/snow_Jan082017

They even issued a blizzard warning for southside Hampton Roads. Totals on the southside were lower than expected because of mixing.

It was a cold storm, RIC was  20°F during the height of the event and recorded 7.1". Totals on the southside were down with 5.3" at ORF, but the peninsula had 10"+ in spots.

The snow stuck around for a few days, and there was a record low set at RIC a couple of days later.

This could easily trend back

My biggest fear at this moment being that it’s only Sunday is that these models start an eastern trend.

I though new balance just made shoes

Wakefield has added +SN to the grids for RIC. Also not seeing any mention of mixing at ORF.

That’s a heck of a jump 

 

Latest discussion below from AKQ is worth a read. Also, they say near blizzard conditions can't be ruled out near the coast. 

 

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 330 PM EST Sunday...

Key Messages:

- Potential continues to increase for a significant winter storm to
impact the region Wednesday into Thursday.

Cold weather remains persistent through the middle of the week as
another Arctic high moves out of Canada and into the north-central
Plains. The high pressure will build south and east. As this occurs
a low will develop across the Gulf Coast and lifts northeast off the
Atlantic coast.

The latest 12z/16 operational models and their respective model
ensembles (GFS/ECMWF/Canadian) continue to show the potential
for an significant winter storm across the majority of the CWA
Wednesday into early Thursday. A southern stream shortwave is
expected to move across the southern United States, with a low
pressure system starting to develop along the southeastern coast
and then lifting north-northeast. The 12z operational models
show a better agreement on the placement of the low. However,
they still continue to vary on totals as well as the their
ensembles. The EURO and Canadian look to have slightly better
agreement with potential totals than the GEFS. The GEFS
continues to show low values as it continues to hint on a warm
nose at 850mb creeping its way slightly further north than the
Canadian and Euro ensembles. The probailities of snowfall has
risen slightly across all ensembles. The 12z Euro and Canadian
ensemble shows swaths of 90 to 100% probs of >=3" of snow with
60 to 80% probs for >=6" of snow. There has even been an
increase in the chances for >=12" probs with much of the area
now in the 20 to 30% contour with the Canadian and Euro. The
GEFS continues to show somewhat lower probabilities but the 50th
percentile still shows a wide footprint of 4-6" across the
region. The overall 12z guidance continues to slightly trend
cooler with this potential system. This colder weather will have
implications for the placement of mixed precip corridors with
this system. Have slightly increased freezing rain potential
across the far SE as the ensemble guidance does show the
potential warm nose creeping its way into the area. Will also
note, the low is expected to deepen as it approaches the coast
late Wednesday into early Thursday. As this low deepens the
pressure gradient is expected to tighten especially along the
far SE coast bringing gusty winds. Confidence is low at the time
however, the possibility of nearing blizzard like conditions
especially along the SE coastal areas cannot be ruled out.

This event has a high ceiling for snow totals with QPF well over an
inch across the region. However, any mixed precip will reduce totals
significantly. Specifics should become more clear over the next 24-
48 hours so continue to follow the forecast over the coming days.
Cold and dry conditions move in behind the system as high pressure
builds into the region. Temperatures Thursday into the weekend will
depend heavily on how much snow accumulates and where.
