Kmlwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 High of 32.. LWX busted by 5 degrees Or your thermometer busted low by 5 degrees as always Around here it got to around 35 and lots of melting but trees still have the nice look to them.

Well the 3 closest stations within a 5 mile radius of me (olney golf park, sandy spring friends, and blake hs) are all reporting high temp at 32 degrees... Melting here wasnt extreme but wasnt minimal. IE My sidewalk/driveway/car/the grass are still covered in ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Anyone think we stay cold enough to manage more wintry precip tonight? Its been alot colder than forecast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Anyone think we stay cold enough to manage more wintry precip tonight? Its been alot colder than forecast... My NWS point and click now has rain and 33. But I'm around 32.5 right now per weatherbug. If you're looking for sig winter weather you won't get it dude lol.

If you're looking for sig winter weather you won't get it dude lol. well we are suppose to get around .01-.25'' of precip so if this is mostly ice then it would reinforce whatever we got yesterday.. definitely not significant but it could cause some messiness for the morning commute.

NoVaSnow Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Coming up the hill on I-66 through Arlington at 3:00, I noticed the trees still had a nice glaze. Out here in Western Fairfax, the treee glaze is gone. I guess that's the difference between the mostly sleet with a little ZR out here, as opposed to more ZR closer into DC.

It's going to be mostly/all RAIN. Temperatures will warm up once precip moves in. We may end with a few flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's going to be mostly/all RAIN. Temperatures will warm up once precip moves in. We may end with a few flakes. Totally agree. CAD aside, when you have surface temps in the 40's in WV, SW VA, and even Garrett Co, temps are going to rise as soon as the precip falls. If temps were in the mid 20's in Central PA with a N wind I would consider ice but ain't gonna happen tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's going to be mostly/all RAIN. Temperatures will warm up once precip moves in. We may end with a few flakes. I sure hope so - we dropped from a high of 34, and are now sitting at 27 degrees here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derecho Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I sure hope so - we dropped from a high of 34, and are now sitting at 27 degrees here. Up there you could see some snow but nothing over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Up there you could see some snow but nothing over an inch. Nearly clear skies are causing temps to drop, I would think. Once the cloud cover moves in, and especially once the precip gets here, I would think the layers will mix down and it'll warm up. Hope so anyway. One crappy snow day is enough. I hate wasting them.

BethesdaWX Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 31 here, so it wouldn't take much warming to change me over to rain. That CAD looks impressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Up there you could see some snow but nothing over an inch. I was wondering. A peek out the "window" shows skies have cleared almost completely (nice near full moon is illuminating all the ice covered trees on my drive home) and, while the lowest levels are saturated, the temp in Clarksburg has dropped 1.6F to 29.2F in the last hour. Untreated roads with no traffic have frozen very quickly. could be an interesting first hour when precip starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just a question, but the radar in my area shows some precip being evaporated. The composite and base radars don't match up. Wouldn't this further cool the atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just a question, but the radar in my area shows some precip being evaporated. The composite and base radars don't match up. Wouldn't this further cool the atmosphere? Only if the wet bulb temperature allows it. For instance you have to have dewpoint/temp differences to get the cooling. If your dew and air temp are near or the same as each other it won't cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just walked the dog and temp has dropped to 30. Sidewalks have refrozen in a lot of places and I had to walk on the grass for the most part. Roads still wet but maybe things will be a bit more interesting tonight before warmer air infiltrates.

gymengineer Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 And again, the NAM goes colder within 12 hours-- this time nothing like last night, but that 2m 0C surface line is certainly a lot closer to the cities on this run for tomorrow morning than it was showing all of yesterday and today.
