The 18Z Nam :D How many times have I heard ignore it, it’s only the 18 Z Nam.

Been a tough winter :) 

Plane crash they figured there was a 48 mph wind gust at the time it happened.

Some people who say ignore the nam (which it is wrong a lot) are all over loving it if they like what it shows.

 

4 major plane crashes in less than 3 weeks now.

Still quite windy here, and the temp has fallen back all the way to 15ºF already.. so definitely not pleasant out. My station had a peak wind of 51 mph early today. No real major direct issues from the wind around here fortunately, other than the combo with the snow bands and blowing and drifting last night. A lot of the secondary back roads around here were tough to drive on last night and early this morning.

If you think this has been an unusually cold winter you would be correct! We are trending toward the top 15 coldest winter in the last 50 years here in Chester County. The pattern continues well below normal temperatures for the rest of this work week. We finally return to near normal temperatures early next week. We look dry for the rest of this week with the exception of a chance of flurries on Thursday. The good news on the drought front is we are running above normal in precipitation so far this month, however it does not look that wet as we close out February and move into the first week of the first month of spring.

Thank you. I was just was reading commentary and saw a met say fairly definitively that we were (are?) literally just hours off in timing from this being a KU storm in our area. 

The fates of the universe keep stringing our hopes.

I will say, as alluded to earlier, I would count on a coating to 1" possibilities anywhere in the LSV when the trough/500 swings through and sparks some qpf.  Not everyone but think anyone could see it.

Second question of the day - just for my own curiosity, did we verify the High Wind Warning that was issued? I read that there are 2 pieces of criteria:

  • Sustained winds of 40 mph
  • Any gust that exceeds 58 mph

Highest winds gusts were all over the place from @canderson CTP report yesterday, a lot of areas fell below the threshold and some were above. If it verified at MDT does that validate the warning? (And I don't recall what MDT's top gust was) 

Maytown had a gust last Thursday of 58 mph prior to any wind statement issued. From this event the top gust was "just" 48 mph.

The potentially good news, it that we have about 5-6 model runs to keep the drama alive and well.  Pace yourself w/ the fingernail chewin.  

Like some of us have been suggesting, a norther correction (based on base state for me) was a legit possibility, but after the year we've been having, I've little faith/confidence in that, but it has been in the back of my mind since late last week.  Just thought itd happen a tad sooner.  Dunno how this shakes down, but it'd be nice to see this pull back west a bit.  For now, its just one model run.
