Apple weather app says 7” for Philly tomorrow evening/night. I know those amounts are rarely right but that seems especially absurd. Friends are asking me about the “big snowstorm” tomorrow and I’m trying to tell them there’s no such thing. But hey wouldn’t hate it if the weather app is onto something..

Thanks for all the info you guys provide, pretty much just a lurker for a long time.

Question, driving home from Hunter Mountain NY on Sunday to DE. How does that drive look and was wondering the best time frame to make it back for the game.

 

Thank you !

 

 

If it's going to be anything like yesterday, the main roads and highways should be ok. But I like to check pa511 before a long drive--it's worth a look right before you head out to see what, if any, restrictions/accidents are in place. Have a safe drive!

Long-range 18z HRRR shifted quite a bit cooler compared to its earlier 12z run. I took a sounding from near KABE at 02 UTC and you can see the warm nose between 700-850mb creeping close to freezing. The next hour mark it switches over to sleet, but at this time we're going to town with deep lift and saturation in the DGZ. The HRRR indicates ~0.1-0.2" of QPF during this hour, so you could thump a quick 1-3" if that's correct. Really depends on how intrusive that warm layer is. We saw with the storm earlier this week the HRRR was way too cold, which is it's typical bias. Either way, I don't foresee much ZR in the Lehigh Valley and Berks, it'll be mostly sleet IMO with a glaze of ZR. Down in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester I see the higher ZR accretion. SW of 95 is probably mostly rain or a light glaze of ice on cold surfaces. As a side note, look at that hodograph and low-level WAA/veering lol

MT HOLLY hinting towards possible Ice Storm Warning issuance.... 

"There is a chance of warning level ice across parts of southeastern PA, with the highest odds across Chester and Montgomery Counties, but not confident in issuing any ice storm warnings yet, so capped ice below 1/4 inch for the time being."

The weather apps account everything under 32° as snow

Inches of sleet so if you see 1.0 inches that is about 0.30" of liquid = sleet - not really a perfect calculation but gives a general idea

Ok explains why I was expecting more sleet last time I read it wrong doh
