CAPE Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 GFS is super solid for the region. It needs to hold. Biggest run of our miserable, snow starved lives coming soon! 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a longer reply in the panic room. It’s just one NAM run so no reason to over react I guess You’re spot on with the thoughts however. Seeing that makes the NW zones seem favored of course with the “enhancement” portion on Tuesday. Tomorrow afternoon and evening’s into the overnight for the first 1-2” should be good thermals for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the atmosphere to remember it can snow here and hope that once it recovers that memory it can go ahead and assign other snows to here. this is completely scientific and no one need check my math… 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Nam is onto something or it’s too warm The NAM has it because it amplifies the coastal some where others don’t. If you can call 1010 amplified lol. So it’s probably wrong. But…and I expounded on this more in the panic room don’t want to derail this thread…but don’t we want a coastal to amplify off the outer banks? That’s why I was disturbed that a weak ass coastal east of the outer banks blasted a low level warm later NW of 95. Book worthy? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 2 minutes ago, SomeguyfromTakomaPark said: Majority of the precip is before we lose the thermals though. Agreed. While this could still potentially move further in the wrong direction (and to be clear, I think we'd be good for a while regardless), the NAM Nest is fine for snow for most of the area through the prime portion of the event. In fact, the "Ferrier" accumulation, which is completely driven by the model microphysics, has a nice accumulation for many, indicating that the model has the hydrometeors falling as snow for plenty of the key hours, even if it turns to some light freezing rain Tuesday morning: 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 14, 2024 Author Share Posted January 14, 2024 still going at 45, lighter snow vs 6z. And then the next panel comes out and we're back on heavier returns...not HEAVY, but you know..heavier. Less aerial coverage tho of the heavier stuff. DC is under it, but mt psu is lighter rn than 6z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 I’m intrigued by the heights continuing to trend higher out front. Could see this trending up a bit more as we get to game time. 2-4” for most from HGR to BWI on a lot of these runs. I’ll take my chances with QPF modeled over us for 24-30 hrs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 Kids are totally getting a snow day Tuesday. And I guess it’s semi-legit. Roads in Columbia are being brined today. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
