dilly84 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 we have fog with 90+ % humidity right now. Maybe dry air in the upper levels?? Don't have any returns overhead yet so can't tell if some of the advancing stuff is virga Looking at the 4hr radar loop, and this thing hasnt even begun to move east. More of a North/Northeast like it has been doing all day. Slow mover that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 well you got 300% of what you were forecasted to get last night lol This is true. Still hoping for a quick inch before it makes it way out of here. Going through another good band right now. I just wish that it would have been snow when it had started raining at noon then we could have been around 6 or 7 inches. Oh well, maybe we can get a snow-day out of this. On to the next storm, maybe that will be the one. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Snow just does not want to let up. Pretty much the whole county is done but a one little band that is settling right on top of me. Does look like it will be done within the next 15 mins. So I'm gonna go get a measure and take a pic or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Final and official measurement is roughly 3 inches. Measured in about 5 spots. One of my bigger snows this year. Pictures coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a decent band right over me but its all virga so far. But idc the storm in regards to over this way was modeled horribly. Not sure about the ec yet, but I know you, for instance, wasn't supposed to get close to 3" and it appears others will cash in somewhat too.

buckeye Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 looks like the whiff was correctly forecasted afterall, but damn gotta admit that radar last night was ominous as hell looking, I usually don't get sucked into short range weenie hallucinations but even local mets were starting to wonder. That ull snow is pivoting to our southeast nicely. Only surprise might be charleston looks still to be heavy rain, i would have thought they changed over by now. Also, id love to see some totals in KY....radar looked impressive there all night wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, id love to see some totals in KY....radar looked impressive there all night wow. It is a forecast challenge faced by every met. Do high level echoes penetrate the dry air? Do a few high reflectivity echoes push through while everyone else stays dry? Trust me I have busted both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 so how much does dc get? I think they are going to get pounded. The slantwise convective potential as well as straight up old vertical convective potential is high--and that defo band is going to be taking no prisoners. A hard changeover from rain to snow--but the snow comes hard and heavy for 3-6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Kentucky is having a very good winter, especially the eastern part of the state (i.e. Jackson 28.7" through yesterday, w/ 3-5" more to come today).

Chicago WX Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 OT maybe but it pertains to this storm, but I was looking at the LWX site and they have some cool snowfall graphics. One being current snow reports integrated with Google maps and the other being the total storm snowfall forecast that has a nice mouse over feature that brings up the specific forecasts/warnings for each area. Upper right hand corner here: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/lwx/ And for giggles I kicked it over to TWC this morning. They are in full hype mode for DC. Bringing up last year's snow blitz, etc. There are probably some people (w/ no wx knowledge) watching that think another 20"+ is coming like last winter's storms dumped in that region. Regardless, good for the DC and Mid Atlantic people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, good for the DC and Mid Atlantic people. looking at the models, it's pretty wild hi-bust situation for anyone in the n. VA/MD region. Basically it boils down to a 4-6 hour period of explosive precip in an area that's about a 100mile diameter circle. Where and how fast that can set up on the heels of a rainstorm is the question. Talk about a nowcast wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
