The Saturday system doesn’t look to have the upside that a few random model runs showed.

The 6z Euro & GFS both have an Advisory level, event 2 to 4 inch type of event for many of us on Saturday.

We have also seen these type of systems go either way over the years. The low could slide further east & miss us. But, it could also juice up just a bit & deliver a 3 to 6 or so type of event with a decent track.

That's what I'm hoping for and is likely the top end. I don't like how the Eps keeps jackpotting the MD/DE eastern shores. I'm a firm believer of persistent seasonal patterns and since they were jackpotted yesterday, it wouldn't shock me if it happens again.

I didn't realize/ or forgot until i started writing notes of the snow for yesterday, that last year we had 5" on January 6th

Yeah, you guys did better than us Lancaster folk with that one.  I only had 2.3", as the snow switched to sleet and then copious rain, totaling 1.2" QPF.

The battle of the winds war is on! NWS has slightly less winds tomorrow than today and even calmer on Thursday...MU, however, is channeling his inner Lee Corso (#notsofast)

Edit: CTP does have Thursday being the windiest day. Apologies. 

MU Weather Center

@MUweather

NW wind gusts will reach 35 mph tomorrow & 40-45 mph Thurs. Highs will be around 10°F below average through the end of the week with overnight lows in the teens & low 20s. Wind chills will be stuck in the single digits & teens until Fri PM. Dress in layers, bundle up & #StayWarm!

Thursday will be windier than today, seems certain. 

Then Saturday we might get even stronger depending on that storm evolution.

We ended up with 2.8" of snow yesterday in East Nantmeal for the season we now stand at 6.1" which is 84% of normal snow to date. Windy today with some areas of blowing snow today (like on my road in Chesco). Dry through Friday with temperatures slowly moderating to within a couple of degrees of freezing. Snow chances increase on Friday night into Saturday, but this looks like no more than a moderate event despite what some are saying.

Hey @Bubbler86 check out the GFS vs Euro/NAM/Canadian/MS Paint models for Dallas tomorrow and look how much warmer GFS is compared to every other guidance. 

It's wild. 

HMM,  I see upper 30's to near 40 from the GFS and mid to upper 30's from EC and Nam?  18Z tomorrow.

Hm maybe I looked wrong (was on my phone so possible!). It looked like there's a shot of cold air showing up on other models the GFS doesn't bring down. 

Regardless, Thursday is going to be a bad day in North Texas.

They're under a Winter Storm Watch and the best part of it is the official forecast: (this is quite clearly the rage of this winter!)

Thursday
Snow showers likely, possibly mixed with sleet before noon, then snow showers. High near 35. East wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Thursday Night
Snow showers. Low around 29. North wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Friday
A 20 percent chance of snow showers before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. North northwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

Something was wonky with the 12z NAM. Texas had basically no winter weather on its run and is completely opposite of the 12z RGEM and its prior runs. 

 

RGEm also had 4 SLP's at 78, so me thinks its having a bit of trouble figuring out where this pops.  i'll root the norther one on.

@Chris78 hopefully you scored nicely over the last 2 hours.  I have some elevation over you but have to believe you got 1/2-1"?

Was able to add another inch from the ULL.

We were eating dinner up in Waynesboro around 6pm  when it really starting coming down good.

Ended with a total of 4.25. 

Respectable but a little underwhelming considering what the American short range models were showing.

Hopefully Saturday ends up being a nice advisory level snow to freshen up the pack.

I think the window is closing on the bombs the gfs has shown at times but sign me up for a nice  3 to 5 incher.

Congrats.  Underwhelmed for many of us, so we get it.  Agreed abt this weekend.  If we can get a refresher, it'll be nice.

Pattern showing signs of relax beyond week 2, so maybe when that happens we score something notable.  Not sure where we go beyond that but if MJO gets to 3 w/ other tellies as modeled, wouldnt be great for "pack retention".  I'll just enjoy the next 2 weeks and see where we go from there.

That SW trough must be why.

People this week have given CTP a rough time but my god good luck to NWS Ft Worth and Shreveport the next 36 hours.
