wxdude64 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Sure hope the wind blows at some point today...sheesh. Easily to almost 50 mph for the last hour in gusts with a STEADY 25-30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Who wants some more snow? From this mornings AFD Mountain Snow (Thursday/Friday): The first in a series of cold fronts crosses the area early Wednesday morning, as the base of the cutoff mid-level low moves across PA/NY. Colder temperatures surge into the Alleghenies by Wednesday afternoon, causing precip to transition from rain to snow by Wednesday night. Favorable dynamics and ample moisture could result in a prolonged period of upslope mountain snow. Marginal temperatures likely limit accumulations through Wednesday evening, then better chance for snow to stick Thursday into Friday. The GFS in particular is much higher than the other guidance, showing significant snow accumulations late in the week. At the very least 1-3", possibly up to 4-5", of accumulating snow is possible at the higher elevations. Light snow could fall as east as the Blue Ridge/Catoctins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 .17" rain on Wednesday. 2.38" so far in March vs a normal of 3.51". I will plan to post tomorrow or Monday about dry Marches in my region related to previous winter snowfall. A 3 model blend gives the higher elevations of W.Va. between Elkins and Snowshoe 9. 7 inches of snow between Wednesday and late Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I The pattern in late week would not benefit us whether it was Jan. or April. Up-slope snow does not affect areas east of the mts.. We are in a down-slope region.

Glanced outside, happened to see a flash of lightning, and had to check radar to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Sure does seem like we've had a lot more lightning and thunder so far this year as compared to a typical spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 37 minutes ago, 87storms said: Meandering GL/NE upper level lows are the worst. Initially the precip will be from disturbances riding along a west to east stalled boundary. By mid week a coastal low will develop. The result will be multiple rounds of rain and likely 2-3"+ across much of the region. Even the local desert climo areas should do pretty well. Hoping for an underperformer here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
