"As this surface low deepens and move east, impressive moisture will be drawn northward from the Gulf of Mexico within a corridor of intensifying isentropic ascent, especially within the 290-295K surfaces. Here, mixing ratios climb to 4-6 g/kg, reflective of the impressive moist driven by the warm advection, further evidenced by PW anomalies surging to above the 97th percentile according to NAEFS."

:o we're pulling that good gulf juice into this baby. Visible on those nam charts ravens is pulling

Oh yeah. I would say 5” at the worst and 10-12” if everything just breaks perfectly. I’d say 6-10” is a great call for your neck of the woods. I’m sure that’s what Sterling and WPC are rolling with as well. The backend fun with the vort pass is going to be the biggest question mark and if that breaks properly, there will be a lot of happy people in here. 

I thought 5-8" IMBY and I'm still thinking that just because of the model uncertainity. Do you think more or less?

When do you think we could have a good handle on the vort pass and backend snow situation? It seems that the models that are the best with the WAA for my area sorta miss with the backend and vise versa. Want to make an updated forecast for my friends and family but am waiting for more agreement on that last part, and thanks for the post!

No problem! I’d say they’ll start having a better idea by tomorrow, but remember the dynamics will be different, so banding and such might take near game time for that feature to get narrowed in. I’m hoping that comes to fruition. That has surprise upside if it comes together properly.

Its a beatdown. It has a nasty dryslot and drives the primary up into central WV. But this is right at that point. No clue what it would do with the ULL after this. But a serious hit on the front end. And should make the northern crew feel a little better.

I mean...this is the HRRR, so color kw skeptical for now.

Strong 850 frontogenesis across NoVA but warm nose over the potomac river, so it’s sleet verbatim (12k version, haven’t looked at 3k)

It's interesting because it goes back to heavy snow at 45.  If rates are heavy enough, even if there is a slight warm nose, can it be more rimed flakes?

Honestly, I’d rather had a couple hours sleet and back to heavy snow than have this thing shift south like the Ukie 

Yeah I also think with strong frontogenesis and high DGZ rates, it’ll overcome any thin warm nose and keep it heavy snow with some riming. But as soon as those rates let up, it’s going to be sleet or freezing drizzle as with a dry slot. I don’t think we lose any real accums with it, maybe an inch if that. And the snowpack will be tougher.
