WxUSAF Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 3 globals all have a different morning with most widespread subzero threat next week. Tuesday for GFS, Wednesday euro, Thursday GGEM. I’d bet my retirement on DCA not going below zero, but IAD and BWI may have a chance? Snowcover from Sunday is critical. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the difference between a hit and a close miss at that range is noise. The potential is there in that window. I think that period is our best chance. Before that it's probably the deep south's once a decade shot at something. Looking like it's still possible Richmond south and east could still get some snow Tuesday night into Wednesday. Interesting to see how it trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Aside from Sunday, rooting no storms this week until after next Saturday at 6pm. Thanks! Sorry not sorry. Pains me to root for nada for everyone until then, but it’s sort of like me rooting for a Commanders win (as a Cowboys fan). F the Lions. But anyway. Not sure what my point is except that I’m pre-gaming my flight at BWI currently, and I don’t want to miss the big dog! Oddly enough, I’m drinking Flying Dog Truth. And thats the truth! See what I did there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The long range (day 10+) continues to become less hostile looking as it gets closer. If you go back to around New Years we were now supposed to be entering into the "crap" pattern by now...and now its way out at day 13-15 and doesn't even look that bad anymore. Again, the guidance continues to push back and shift in the central pacific and have the pacific jet undercutting any ridging there...and so long as that keeps happening we should maintain at least a workable pattern given the amount of cold established. So long as we don't enter a truly hostile pattern that wipes out that cold we will be ok as long as we avoid one of those god awful NOT THAT long wave looks and I don't see that coming. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'll turn on the TV and see the entire DMV with cars in ditches, airports closed, streets looking like a war torn third world nation, recitals and schools canceled, snowplows getting stuck as the area is getting destroyed with 2-3" per hour snow bands with lightning and thunder as temps are 12 degrees. and then it happens again 2 days later right before you come back. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I’ll be stuck in Orlando as a worst case scenario. Guess I’ll miss another BECS waiting in line again for its a small world. Just like February 2010. Seriously. That sucked missing that.

mitchnick Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 AI has 2 systems that hit us on 28th and 30th. Can't check temps right now but at least part of 1 or both likely snow...I think. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't check temps right now but at least part of 1 or both likely snow...I think. The first is all snow from DC NW, 2-4" type deal. (Actually its all snow probably from about 20 miles south of DC north) The second bigger storm unfortanatly is mostly rain (or ice) after maybe some snow in MD at the start due to a late secondary and the primary getting too far NW initially. You have to get pretty far north in PA (like north of i80) to stay snow during the meat of the storm with that one) But both are at a range where those details don't matter...its fun times coming for sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The GFS is infuriating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Even with the baroclinic boundary suppressed for midweek way down along the Gulf and SE coast with developing low pressure tracking off NC and then likely offshore from there, as advertised there is a strong jet streak that moves over the MA with some NS vorticity at h5. Decent mid level moisture advection combined with lift underneath the right rear quadrant of that jet streak could produce an area of light to moderate snow that is pretty far removed from the actual SE low. That seems to be what the GFS is depicting for places along/SE of I-95. Ofc I am a bit drunk and high so I could be wrong. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
