haudidoody Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Woah... a side of wow... and a double portion of holy fook please For God's sake once, just once, can we down here be in the bullseye, and not those people in Northern Maryland. History says no. I've got a meeting from 2-4 in Georgetown, hoping things are just getting going around the time I have to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looking at the radar... moderate rain/mix will be entering the DC/I-270 area by 3:00-3:30, with a quick changeover to snow by 4:00. Also, many people will be heading home early to try to beat it, which may not be soon enough as rush hour starts to kick in. Good luck, travelers.

weatherwonder Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just got an update from NWS, we were downgraded from 5-10" to 4-8" What are you talking about? I'm just south of you. If anything, they upped the totals per NWS: This Afternoon: Rain and snow, becoming all snow after 3pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 33. Northeast wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Tonight: Snow, mainly before 3am. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 29. North wind between 10 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. You guys need to get a grip already.

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 What's with the downward adjustments in the forecasts? Is it timing issue, temperatures? Not sure I see a significant change in the latest maps/models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 People need to stop using the point forecasts and use the zones instead. Not as pretty and too hard. Requires an extra "click."

weathercoins Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Look like NW suburbs of DC will see this first if radar echoes hold in the same pattern... here she comes . I love seeing how even the preliminary edge of this precip has a few ~40 dbzs mixed in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm pretty sure when they put up the warning in DC for 5 to 10, they also slightly reduced totals in the warning a bit farther west. The 1-95 corridor is still 5 to 10, so I guess they assume the best banding would set up closer to I-95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm curious which model you guys think did the best on this particular storm to this point in its evolution. I know it was a tricky one by far, but wanted your thoughts. Thanks in advance. EURO, wasn't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Over 1.5" in the last 45 minutes. Really bombing snow now -- I'm guessing the rate to be somewhere between 2 and 3" per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
