TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM 3 minutes ago, RIC Airport said: Also, we can look at the short-range models, but they are not always precise about where bands will develop. Quite a few places well north of Richmond are doing better than expected. There could always be surprises, and we'll have to wait and see how the rest of today goes. Also, don't forget about the ULL swinging through tomorrow. It, too, could offer some surprises. Hard to say either way, models have varied on its intensity. All of the short-range models I've seen aren't even showing it reaching it Richmond at this point. IF it does, I expect it to be a brief snow shower for an hour or so. I can't imagine it'll be anything that will add additional accumulation. Hope I'm wrong.

JB Fins Posted Wednesday at 05:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:52 PM Moderate snow here in Tuckahoe, just took the pug out, he does not like wearing a coat.

It's all that hot air he blows between attacking those who disagree with him whether it is weather or politics.

TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 06:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:02 PM I have no respect for someone who puts out maps the way he does. If you look at his comments on his last call map it's everyone tagging their entire family saying "OMG WE NEED TO PREPARE". It actually really annoys me how he does that for clicks and solely for monetary purposes. I get it, he's taking advantage of his platform but he also takes advantage of people who aren't well versed in winter weather as much as most of us are. I had coworkers shove his first guess map in my face and preached he is always right, of course they didn't like my rebuttal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I said he used to get some right, but after 2018 he seemed to start putting out more bs maps than when he actually disagreed with other mets.

Immediate coastal areas could see slightly higher rates. DISCUSSION...As mid-level ascent continues to increase across the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon, a coastal trough is expected to deepen offshore. By the evening, a deeper surface low should be present off the coast from the Carolinas. This process should promote low/mid-level frontogenesis across parts of the region. This already appears to be occurring in northern/northeast North Carolina into southeast Virginia. Wakefield, VA ASOS has reported heavy snow within the last 30-45 minutes. This band should continue to translate northeastward through the afternoon into the evening. Moderate to heavy snowfall is probable within this band with overall rates near 1 in. per hour anticipated. Some areas near the immediate coast may see slightly higher rates or at least longer duration snow as the frontogenetic lift should be maximized in these areas. Snowfall intensity will eventually decrease by late evening into Thursday morning. With southern extent, towards central North Carolina, more of a mix of wintry precipitation is possible along the edge of the snow band as there will be greater influence from the low/mid-level warm nose. ..Wendt.. 02/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

We knew this yesterday. The models showed up to 4-5 inches yes, including the GFS. Unfortunately, the short-range modles are more in tune with the actuality of what's happening. 3-4 inches is still possible. I'm close to 2 inches at 1:30 pm. We COULD see another 3-4 hours of snow.
