Solo2 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 That is still 3 degrees warmer than you are saying. Plus how do I look up other nearby weatherbug stations w/o downloading their dumb app. I would bet it is an outlier at that temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanegrenade Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 There's a problem with that station... it's got 27 for the high and low, so it's been the same temperature since midnight? Nah. Sorry guys, maybe the station was faulty. hehe. thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Why the lol? This is right along the lines of what Capital Weather/Wes called for. 4-8" west of the fall line, and 3-5" east. If you're going to quote Wes, also quote him where he said DC should be a warning as well when he saw the latest runs. That;s the lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 What is the criteria for a WSW. 5 inches in 24 hours? If I get one millimeter over 5 inches from this, including the half inch it looks like I already have on the ground, by midnight tonight I am calling my Congressman person to complain about LWX lack of handling of this storm. Oh, wait, I don't have a Congressman. I will call all 435 of them to complain. I've have seen far less serious threats get warnings than what this could be. In all honesty, LWX put out a detailed and reasonable discussion that (I think) hints adjustments to the warning package are possible later. They are really banking on the rain holding on a few hours later in the immediate Metro. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=LWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Lol. Lol. Upton Just put up a warning for Manhattan. So now EVERY Big City in Northeast has a Winter STorm Warning except Washington DC. Boston, Philly, Baltimore, Trenton, New York, WIlmington, Harftord all under warnings, even though most models I saw last night seemed to show more promise for us then farther up the coast I thought. I so hope LWX Bust a Big One Hard on this skimpiness with the warning for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowden Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Today: Snow before noon, then rain and snow. High near 35. North wind between 6 and 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Tonight: Snow, mainly before midnight. Low around 26. North wind between 9 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Probably auto generated but I'm expecting to be the otherside of this 2-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I really don't think we should obsess over it, even though it's maddening. Cast your lot with Capital Weather. Even the TV mets have come on board with pretty good forecast I think. And lets all hope LWX busts for DC and Northern Virginia if they don't change their tune after the 12z runs, which is still quite possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Observations and banter to the PINNED thread, guys.

North Balti Zen Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 To sum up the overnites...6Z nam bullish, 6Z gfs a bit south and east with the heavy stuff, RUC somewhere in between those two, and the recent SREF wet and cold. Is that about right? This is going to be a long day of waiting to see if the second part develops in a way that makes us all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
