dailylurker Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 On 1/19/2025 at 3:28 PM, jayyy said: The NWS forecast has called for rain / snow mix prior to going all snow in the afternoon for days now in the lowlands because that’s exactly what most models showed going in. Nothing has really changed at this juncture except maybe for 50/66 south. The fact that it’s 10am and many places to the west are changing over or all snow is a good sign. Radar looks exactly like we’d expect - maybe a tad ahead of schedule with precip blossoming. Not sure why there’s so much freaking out going on. Anyway… 33F mod snow, fatty flakes as the transition occurs Expand Easy to say when it's 33 and snowing. I wasn't expecting 40 with heavy rain. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A "temperature spike" just before a cold front occurs because the warm air mass ahead of the front is pushed upwards and compressed slightly as the colder air mass approaches, causing a temporary rise in temperature, often referred to as a "thermal ridge" by meteorologists; essentially, the air warms slightly due to compression as the cold front moves in." Expand Thank you--I didn't know about that! I guess something like this only comes to the forefront this time since we just so happened to be getting snow right in front of a cold front! When was the last time those two things happened together? I don't recall having that (I guess because typically we don't do cold chasing precip very often).
