February 19-20 Major Winter Storm Threat


 Share

Recommended Posts

My professor’s favorite saying is the devil is in the details. With these weak strung out systems, it is going to come down to poorly modeled mesoscale features which is ironically what the mesoscale models are supposed to iron out . This is like a car wreck I can’t look away from!

My thoughts:

AVL to HKY Corridor: T to 2

CLT: 1 to 2

GSO: 2 to 3

RDU: 3 to 5

Rocky Mount to VAB: 4 to 8 (likely more in spots)

I'll stick to the above. I think there's a bit of overpanic tonight. The globals have been pretty steady today while the high res models struggle with the gulf convective issues.

For the record to help evaluate model performance, 0Z UKMET for RDU dropped to 0.9” snow on 10:1 of qpf. 100% snow.

Last runs starting with 0Z 2/17 run:

1.9”, 0.6”, 2.1”, 1.5”, 1.4”, 2.2”, 0.9”. So, UK has been drier than most models since the 0Z 2/17 run.

 Before that, UK was among the snowier models with 5.5” on 12Z 2/16 run. These are Pivotal 10:1 snow amounts. In these cases they were usable because the precip has been almost all snow since the 12Z 2/16 run.

0Z Euro Kuchera: up slightly at RDU to 2.6” from 2.4”/2.3” prior two runs:IMG_3110.thumb.png.e234dfaca29f719ccd06995fb167b794.png

RDU qpf 0.29” (nearly) all falling as snow; slightly higher than prior 4 runs (they were 0.25-0.26”):

Based on radar trends I still think Raleigh area looks pretty good.  In my neck of the woods, not so much.

Models looked abysmal for the triad overnight, but it's encouraging to see the hires models tend towards throwing more moisture back west with WAA as frontogenesis pushes moisture NW
