Looks the same as it has for a while, snow showers with the passage of the arctic front. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty boring. I'm thinking about going up to the Catoctins for a hike. Maybe I'll catch some accumulations up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 10 minutes ago, MN Transplant said: This did speed up from a few days ago. Latest HRRR has some showers in the DC metro starting at 2pm. Seems unlikely that we get anything more than white rain around here. Never really thought this one was gonna result in accumulations, would just like my snow shower to be a snow shower and not a rain shower. Tough ask in Downtown DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Don't get the NWS call for 1-2 inches here. Can't they look at temps in the upper 30's and put two and two together and see it non accumulating? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Anyone who gets a squall is going to see temps drop very quickly. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dewpoint is currently in the upper teens to low 20s regionwide and there are colder temperature advecting in aloft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The initial lighter stuff will be either light rain or light white rain, but the heavier reflectivities closer to the front will be brief bursts of heavy snow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabatic Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hasn't amounted to much in southern Garrett County so far. Under an inch when it was said to be a steady snowfall this morning and not a flake in the last hour. Thinking the Warning level forecast - once again - may be a eenie tiny weenie bit overdone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 25 with variations between SN/SN+ and big fluffy dendrites. very high ratio stuff. Wouldn’t be surprised to verify on the higher end of the LWX map of 8-12”. @jonjon should do really well. Love this for the ski resorts. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 9 hours ago, WEATHER53 said: Thunderstorms now thunder snow? Some CAMs have >100 J/kg of CAPE with some positive CAPE reaching above 600mb where the temp drops to near -30C. So I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few lightning events with the most intense snow showers/squalls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
