Mid-Winter Crisis or Start of Something Big?

Recommended Posts

wow, I start a general banter thread around here and Euro comes in with a MECS

by the way, Euro qpf for next Sunday storm, MOS only goes out to Sunday 12Z, there may be some more that falls after that hour, I'm not certain until new maps come out in about a half an hour

BWI-.95" mainly, if not all, snow

IAD-.93" all snow

DCA-1.03", probably a mix for a time

Annapolis-.93" definitely some mix

DOV-.86" snow, mix, then rain (if only this comes true)

Westminster-.85" all snow

CHO-.50 all snow

EZF-.67" snow, mix, then back to snow

HGR-.63 all snow

ROA-.32" all snow

Odenton-1.02" mainly, if not all, snow

FDK-.81 all snow

forgot Phin MTN-.84" mostly, if not all, snow (with definitely more qpf to fall after 168 hrs I would guess by RH readings)

I'm just kidding. It's good to have you and Midlo looking out for our area. Although my blood pressure did shoot up after reading one post about a MECS and then seeing your low qpf post. In any case, I think that the DC/BWI crew could be a lot happier this time next week(except for psuhoffman, who will not be satisfied with what he gets). :whistle:

i did say it was a secs looking at the indiv panels. qpf did seem low.... ;)

There's an issue that keeps coming up that puzzles me. The Euro is admittedly the most accurate model in portraying east coast snow storms in the medium range. Most east coast storms involve energy which originates in the south/west. However, I constantly read about the Euro' s bias of holding energy back in the southwest. Everytime the Euro shows a solution that is at odds with other models, many are quick to throw the Euro's southwest bias around. If the Euro's southwest bias was so bad, how could it remain the most accurate medium range model, considering many east coast snow storms involve energy from the southwest?

From afternoon LWX AFD... hai Ian ;)

PRECIPITATION AT THE ONSET IS EXPECTED TO BE SNOW...OR A MIX OF SNOW

AND SLEET MONDAY EVENING. THIS MAY RESULT IN MINOR OR LIGHT

ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOWFALL. HOWEVER...PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO

CHANGE TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MONDAY NIGHT FROM SOUTHEAST TO

NORTHWEST AS THE ATMOSPHERE WARMS FROM THE TOP DOWN. FREEZING RAIN

LOOKS TO BE THE PREDOMINANT WINTRY P-TYPE AND ALSO LIKELY WILL HAVE

THE GREATEST IMPACT FROM THIS WINTER EVENT DUE TO ICE

ACCUMULATIONS THAT ARE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY.

TUESDAY MORNINGS RUSH HOUR WILL LIKELY BE IMPACTED DUE TO

ICING...ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL MD AND THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR

ON WEST THROUGH THE CWA.

Apparently, the biggest issue the Euro has is with actual large CUTOFF SW lows. It wants to delay and hold back the amount of energy ejecting out...thus creating the difficulties downstream. When it's a matter of simply a piece of Srn stream SW energy riding along and eastward...there's much less of an issue here.
