LVblizzard Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I still have no freaking clue why everybody is so worried. THE RADAR WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THIS! The low is doing exactly what it was modeled to do, and precip is a little ahead of schedule here. Calm down, it's like this suddenly changed to a 2" widespread event for everybody when, in reality, the NWS forecast seems almost perfect right now.

_AR_ Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The problem that could occur is as the storm transfers to the coast, there could be a gap in precip in eastern PA/NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Still The color scale I use only spits out echoes greater than 15 dBZ, since usually anything less than that isn't hitting the ground. Usually. Not always, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 oh okay. I saw 925mb temps were okay, but I figured maybe the surface was over 32. It handled the 1/12 event rather well, so I'm curious to see how it does tonight (and I hope it's wrong, lol) Looks right on track to me. Looks like PHL may end up around 2".

LMolineuxLM1 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 . Thats how i feel during thunderstorm season as it feels like its split city here. But HA this is a funny pic. I am being laid back this winter enjoying every event no-matter what. I think I am doing good so far this year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually. Not always, apparently. Ah. Yeah, not the greatest idea. A lot of times low level snow showers/flurries will only show up as the very light echoes.

Voyager Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The problem that could occur is as the storm transfers to the coast, there could be a gap in precip in eastern PA/NJ. I think Ray alluded to this last night. Don't know where the exact post is, but he said he had a bit of concern of a dry slot setting up somewhere in Eastern PA.

At least on a map that's within 12 hours of an event. This might make up for all of the times the GFS jackpotted you and then it ended up raining.

More like all the times it jackpotted us and then shafted us with a dusting and 20" east of the Delaware river... I don't think a 5" storm will make up for that though yet..

NortheastPAWx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 DE/S NJ...that's where the NAM is suggesting dryslot. I assume that explains why the models have been putting those areas in less precip all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a 5" storm will make up for that though yet.. Exactly. Although I can't recall being jackpotted so much as just having a good forecast go down the drain and getting much less then forecasted. Anyway, I measured about 20 minutes ago and had a quarter inch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
