MidlothianWX Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Snow is now increasing in rate. Probably light-moderate at this point. Beginning to stick to surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr No Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 The 18Z NAM IS west (look at the 850s at the NC coast)... no doubt... much better at the surface, but still has that convective feedback look. I'd guess it would still not give us alot of QPF because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 SREF's very consistent with 9z run Fairly consistent, but an eastward jog. Data starting with 12z on most models has been east. We need some actual weather obs or 18z model data that stops this trend (you can put me in the paranoid category). MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 NYC-BOS will win this one, we won three over them last year-- I can take the loss. Still, I'm hoping for an advanced bomb not currently predicted by models to bring us in on the goods. Or even a 2/12/2006 situation where the deformation band stretches down to our CWA even after it passes our latitude. This has always looked like a storm where easterly longitude would pay off. The question really has been, how much more snow would fall the farther NE you go from here. Earlier it looked like everyone would would get a good dump. It now looks like an increasingly larger disparity is developing in the snow amounts from SW to NE. Hopefully, obs and 18z data will close the gap again.

Bob Chill Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Bombing low with a great track. Models can't time precisely when this is going negative. I have a feeling we're seriously in the game. Just a slight change in timing can still hit us pretty hard. PHL - NYC getting destroyed is pretty much a lock.

real Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 And it doesn't seem like we have to deal with much virga. I think when that precip in Southern Va gets here, it will start quickly falling as snow, and accumulate at least lightly from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Isn't that also a tad more south than progged? maybe on the southern end of where the models put it,but the models are never that precise I just like the fact that the pressure is lower than proged and thye pressures are clearly falling pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 LWX Point and Click forecasts just issued show, when you combine Sunday and Sunday night, about 3 to 7 inches on west side of DC. But 4 to 8 on East side. About 5 to 9 for Anne Arundel County. 2 to 6 for Montgomery/Fairfax. And 5 to 11 for Baltimore City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
