wasnow215 Posted August 3, 2024 Share Posted August 3, 2024 Was trying to post the photo of the 12Z European model shows upwards of a foot of rain for RVA from future tropical system Debby, between next Thursday morning and Sunday night. Says photo too large even tho same way I’ve always done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 20th Anniversary of Tropical Storm Gaston dumping on RVA. I work downtown and I remember we had just completed some Cisco Training, it had begun raining hard in the afternoon. When we saw traffic was not getting out of downtown, we took refuge in The Tobacco Company. We drank as we complained about not being able to get home but I had not idea just down the street, 3 blocks away, people were dying being swept away by the water. I had no idea the magnitude until I got home around 11PM that night and watched the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted November 29, 2024 Author Share Posted November 29, 2024 KRIC reached freezing for the first time this season this morning, with a low of 30°F. This means it's time to unlock this thread so let's hope winter 2024-25 proves to be more fruitful than the past few seasons. Last winter, the highest amount of snow recorded in a single day was just 0.5 inches on 1/15/24. Additionally, there was 0.2 inches measured on the morning of 12/11/23. It has now been over 1,000 days since the airport recorded an inch or more of snow. Let's hope this streak comes to an end soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted November 29, 2024 Author Share Posted November 29, 2024 December has potential now that we're finally getting cold. 18Z GFS had a decent hit. The models have been signaling an early December storm threat off and on for days. Timing and placement have differed so something to watch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 1 hour ago, Conway7305 said: Nice fantasy blizzard from 12z EURO That storm on the 12z Euro would be epic!! And unlike 2016, it's an all snow event through and through for anyone west of about New Kent. Truly a beautiful evolution! It has that old school big snowstorm track that seems to be nonexistent nowadays. It also has a lot of wind, so the snow and wind combo, at least for a time, would be like 1/23/2016 or 1/25/2000 (My all time favorite ). Both storms had about a 6-8 hour period with +SN and BLSN at RIC, which is unusual. Click the link below and check out the hourly observations for the 2000 storm, things got really good after sunrise! https://weatherspark.com/h/d/147038/2000/1/25/Historical-Weather-on-Tuesday-January-25-2000-at-Richmond-International-Airport-Virginia-United-States#Figures-ColorTemperature In the 2016 storm, RIC narrowly missed reaching official blizzard criteria because, during the second of three hours, they recorded a wind gust of 32 mph instead of the 35 mph required. Seeing more signals of cold and storminess is encouraging. And like everyone else, I’m waiting to see how the rest of this winter develops, but I’m trying not to get too caught up in each model run, especially anything still over a week away with no run to run consistency. Last year was fun but exhausting, especially when we didn’t get much snow, and the 2nd half of winter ended in disappointment despite all the hype. I haven’t been posting much lately because I had surgery about about 10 days ago, and the timing of this potential storm isn't ideal for me. I’ll be dealing with post-surgical recovery until 1/13 before I’m fully mobile again. While I’ll be able to track a storm and participate here before then, I won’t be able to enjoy the event as much due to my limited mobility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 Euro AI appeared to be a RIC and Hampton Roads special. Storms like 1/7/2017, 2/26/2015, 1/3/2002, 2/18/1989, and 3/1/1980 come to mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 Actually, just looked at a couple panels, verbatim southside Hampton Roads would have some precip type issues. But the most of the peninsula and interior SE VA scores. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
