RIC Airport Posted February 10, 2024 Author Share Posted February 10, 2024 As I mentioned the other day, there are two opportunities. The 00z GFS and Euro had a rainstorm for around PD and the 12z Euro has already advertised a more southern and colder solution for us so more confidence is needed before taking anything too seriously. Then we'll see how the second threat around evolves in the coming days. The 12z GEFS had a handful of hits, including another member (p10) that obliterates our area February 23rd-24th. Overall the GEFS was a nice improvement over yesterday's runs, but there is still a lot of spread. I don't know if we should give up on the winter with these signals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted February 10, 2024 Author Share Posted February 10, 2024 Today's 12z EPS maps are the best we've seen before the mid-January threats. It's been frustrating, for sure, so we'll see. But, there is still a decent signal for the 17th-25th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, NCEP doesn't release them. But this is the best I can do. Here are some charts from a few places in the bullseye.

Lots of time GFS was suppressed with the southern stream wave, which the below was as far north as the precip got. Just sharing in case people wondered, I'm sure this won't be the final solution, but quite a change over the last 24 hours. I like that it's still south. Plenty of things can make this work out in our favor with wiggle room on the models. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a cold front now, that gives all our precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted February 11, 2024 Author Share Posted February 11, 2024 The Canadian is faster with the n/s wave and tries to give us snow showers with that next Saturday. It's much slower with the s/s wave so it amplifies and comes up the coast as a Miller A storm next Tuesday into Wednesday before sliding off of Hatteras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are grasping at straws. As long as the models show different solutions, I think there is still a chance.

RIC Airport Posted February 11, 2024 Author Share Posted February 11, 2024 Looking at the Euro, it might be time to close the blinds. It was similar to the GFS in handling the n/s and s/s energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conway7305 Posted February 11, 2024 Share Posted February 11, 2024 Looks like we’re gonna have to wait until early mid March to possibly get a last-minute save. Looking at the indexes, everything is reversing and forecasted to become warm.. PNA is going negative and that’s gonna kill the Pacific. I’ve been really trying to remain positive, but it’s tough. The forecasted pattern a couple weeks ago was absolutely epic but there was too much just warm air in the country. MJO has stalled in 7 which is a warms phase and never makes it to phase 8. I won’t trust the LR weekiles anymore….lol Hope I am wrong and we get something next week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, looks like it could be over for thiis month unless we can get a coastal to form & draw in more cold air with one of these systems before the 25th..(even that would prob bring a changeover at some point) the cold air just refuses to come down this way & the precip for early next week looks like to be trying to leave the building now too) A snow shower on the 17th maybe it for awhile around here.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro provides hope for this weekend and the EPS still has that signal around the 24th, fwiw. We have to hang in longer, especially with what is happening now in the NE, where models shifted dramatically over the last couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted February 13, 2024 Author Share Posted February 13, 2024 Well, the Euro continues to revive the weekend storm. Looks like a 3-6 hour window on Saturday morning from about 1am to 9am. Temperatures around RIC fall from the mid-upper 30s to around freezing before the precip lifts out around 8am or 9am. It's not looking like a 10:1 ratio, so keep that in mind when looking at the snow map. Also, as we've seen with recent storms, there is still plenty of time for fluctuations on the track. I would not get my hopes up; GFS had practically nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
