Fozz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 ok technically its all rain at DCA because surface temps are around 35 throughout the storm. However, for arguments sake lets say the surface temps are a bit warm at this range on the Euro, according to 850's .46 falls as snow then 1.0 rain then another .9 snow What about IAD and BWI?

psuhoffman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I guess the question is, where the is the rain snow line for DC, Balt, York etc and up the coast a little. BWI gets to .6 at the height of the storm at its warmest point on the soundings so I would say the rain snow line gets just past Baltimore at its furthest north/west progression.

ravensrule Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 0c gets pushed to the blue ridge mnts, to north of dc before collapsing back east big winner in va would be I-81 So verbatim Baltimore would be a heavy wet snow for the length of the storm.

MichaelScott Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 0c gets pushed to the blue ridge mnts, to north of dc before collapsing back east big winner in va would be I-81 Being in LYH, I'm slightly east of I-81, how's it look for us? Sounds like the temps would be too warm for the bulk of the precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOunds like you have pay stuff, but does it say rain? To me that looks like heavy wet snow and with temps at the surface of 35 and those heights aloft--I would have to bet that warm layer is extremely shallow.

psuhoffman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 What about IAD and BWI? BWI gets to .6 at 850 at the height IAD gets to .5 most of the storm would be snow in those 2 locations but the heaviest falls during the warmest point so its about half rain/snow for those spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 "How much for Towson?" ;-) Seriously though, does Baltimore changeover? Everyone in the I95 BAL/DC corridor changes over at some point before going back apparently. The storm is just a brute monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 looks warm at the surface but who cares this far out I know there is a 0% chance of this being right but i was just wondering where the 850 line set up.

To me that looks like heavy wet snow and with temps at the surface of 35 and those heights aloft--I would have to bet that warm layer is extremely shallow. yea I would agree this screams heavy wet snow, if the euro were to verify like that it would probably be very similar to March 1958 when any elevated areas just west of the cities got massive wet snowfall amounts while the lower elevations and in the cities did well and got 8-12" of heavy wet snow but had a lot of mixing issues when precip rates let up at times. I know the setup of these storms is not the same, just referring to the temperature profiles of the two events and the track of the H5 low.

MDstorm Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 What the hell did the models ingest tonight? I don't know, but we can't afford any more wild-ass westward swings like this. At this rate we will be dry-slotted and 70 degrees by next week. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt worry about surface temps on the euro this far out anyways. Hell wouldnt worry about anything specific this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
