Severe Storms Possible this afternoon

Once the rain from this morning passes by there is a chance that the sun will be able to break through and heat areas. These areas where the heating occurs will become increasingly unstable. A strong cold front will eventually pass through the area and could spawn strong to severe storms especially in the eastern parts of the region. Please stay tuned to media and weather outlets for watches and or warnings.

Snow Showers to affect northern Areas Overnight

After sunset, as precipitation continues to wrap back around the large low pressure, a mixture of rain and snow showers will turn to snow showers in the Northern areas (Northern Third of Virginia and Maryland). Some showers may be briefly heavy!

 

Stay alert to as snow showers will cause detereorating visibilities at times with high winds it could be rough driving!!

Nor'easter on tap for Sunday Into Monday. heavy ains, Winds, Mountain snow, coastal floods and very low tides!

The most important note here is that this is a big system and the rains and high winds will likely be the concern around most of the Mid Atlantic.

Highlights:

1. Areas from the Virginia border and southward could see severe thunderstorms with some tornadoes possible later Saturday and early Sunday.
2.Very heavy rain for the Piedmont of Virginia up the 95 corridor with areas receiving 1-3" in Lower Virginia up to 3"+ amounts in Northeastern Virginia and Eastern Maryland up through Pennsylvania
3. Winds will become more and more of an issue Sunday as the Low gets very strong just off the Delmarva area. This will mean power outages and some structural damage possible.
4. Snows will really start to impact the Mountains Later Sunday into Monday with areas seeing 4-8" with isolated higher elevations seeing 12"+. The other factor here will be the high winds (Wind Warning Criteria likely) causing almost blizzard like conditions and tree damage.
5. Coastal Flooding may be somewhat limited, but Bay side flooding is possible as the storm continues high NW winds for a long period of time. this could also mean very low tides with teh offshore winds!

This storm will bring a blizzard to Interior Northern Pennsylvania up through the Middle of New York and New England! Expect travel issues Sunday and Monday from grounded planes due to high winds and snow!

There is a slight possibility that colder air could eventually wrap into the system and cause a brief change to or mix with snow in the Piedmont of Virginia as well. NO accumulations expected.

All for now!

4/12/2007 Mid Atlantic Severe Weather Alert! Heavy Rains, High Winds, Severe Storms, Coastal flooding, and SNOW? all possible this weekend!

Serious storm to cause weekend craziness!

A very serious storm system appears to about to take an aim on the Mid Atlantic. Starting tomorrow conditions will all start to come together for a action packed weekend of weather!

The threats:
1. Heavy Rains/Flooding: Would not be surprised to see 3 to 6" of RAIN especially east of I -95
2. Heavy winds: Friday will be breezy and cool. Saturday will see an increase in winds as the storm begins taking shape. Sunday and Monday will be raw and windy with Coastal flooding a real possibility
3. Coastal Flooding: A prolonged time of heavy rains and winds will cause beach erosion and and flooding.  Please stay tuned to  news and radio outlets for your region
4. Severe Storms: The Best threat here would be far Southeastern Virginia and North Carolina. It is a threat though that should be monitored!
5. SNOW? Yes, I would especially be concerned in teh higher elevations, but, if dynamics really become strong, and they very well could, a switch over to all snow could occur for the immediate piedmont up to the 95 corridor before ending!

This is a serious storm and many watches and warnings will be coming out the next few days. Please heed news/radio/and weather outlets for the potential dangerous conditions this weekend!

All for now!

Accumulating Snows are Possible

 

Accumulating Snows are possible in Areas West of Washington DC up to Baltimore tomorrow night. Areas could see 1-4" with higher totals in the higher elevations. 

 

This will come after a very heavy rainfall and warm ground temperatures should offset some of the total potentials!

 

This could change, but it may actually become a snowier forecast than a less snowy one!

WInter Weather Alert: 1-3" more likely

After reviewing forecasting models this morning I have lowered my totals to a general 1-3" in the area immediate and just to the west and north of the Washington DC, to Baltimore Maryland line. Some areas may see up to 4", but the general rule will be 1-2 inches with isolated 3 inch amounts. It still will be snowing during the morning commute and the ground has really cooled due to temps in the teens and lower 20s last night. Trace amount north of Charlottesville to Fredericksburg up to the DC metro area

DC/MD/VA Icy Mess on Sunday

DC/MD/VA Icy Mess on Sunday

Sleet and Freezing Rain event for the areas of Harrisonburg to just west of Leesburg up to north of Baltimore. Northern Maryland west of 95 closer to the Frederick Maryland area could see a burst of heavy snow before a mix. 1-3" of slop 20 miles either side of the line discussed, but the heavy snow areas could see 2-4" with isolated 6"

A mix is possible all the way down to Richmond and west to Roanoke with areas just east of teh Mountains seeing the most whereas most areas will see a switch to plain rain along the I-95 corridor . Draw a line from Roanoke up to Charlottesville and straight up to Dulles Airport to BWI and areas east of this should see a change over early enough to be a nuisance. The Immediate valleys of the Apps up to Charlottesville will see enough for storm warning criteria.

All I have for now!

SLEETY/ICY MESS for Northern VA up through Marylyand and PA snows

Sorry I have been delayed on posting.. it does appear that a Moderate Icing event will unfold Early Sunday morning. A mixture of first snow, then sleet and freezing rain will visit the region again. There is a possibility of moderate icing! Much about this storm could change and there are hints at some colder air at start which could mean some real snow, but right now, sleet and freezing rain look to be the main precip type. The main locations again will be 20 miles either side of a line from just north of Charlottesville to just west of Leesburg, northeast up to Baltimore County in Maryland stretching up to Philadelphia. Snow is possible North of these areas in Maryland, but especially Pennsylvania. 

 

Much more to be considered and more details tomorrow!

 

Again, this is for Sunday, though freezing drizzle could be occurring Sunday night into Monday morning.

 

All for now!

2/13 - 2/14 Final Maps Posted

---

WINTER STORM APPROACHING

---

Ice will be a serious issue especially west of the I-95 Corridor. Center line would be just north of Charlottesville to Leesburg to Central Baltimore County Maryland and Northern Hartford. Areas 15 miles either side of this line COULD see a .4 to .8" icing on 2-4" of snow. Further N and W in Maryland and up into Southern PA will see 4-8" with sleet and some Freezing rain. Further north, 12"+

Snow and rain mix is breaking out now in Northern half of Virginia.

Some indications to a wrap around quick snow shot at the end.

2/12 ICY MESS ON TAP! SNOW AMOUNTS REDUCED

---

SIGNIFICANT ICE STORM POSSIBLE

---

Well, with models and an imperfect science it is hard to get forecasting right! Here we go with what appears to be a major Icing Event the majority of which looks like it will be Tuesday Night into Wednesday. For tonight into tomorrow light snow with a general 1-4" accumulation could occur from a Roanoke to Charlttesville to Fredericksburg to Baltimore line and areas 20 miles south and east of that line. Some mixing with rain is likely at onset. Tuesday would be a light snow changing to sleet and even rain for Roanoke to Fredericksburg to south and east of Baltimore. Areas from Charlottesville to Washington DC to Baltimore will see a changeover to sleet and then Freezing rain Tuesday evening as heavier precipitation takes hold. Right now the distinct possibility exists for as much as 3/4" to even 1" of ice! The issue will be.. is it sleet or freezing rain. The further north and west may split totals between sleet and freezing rain, but 20 miles either side of and north of the Charlottesville to Washington DC to Baltimore areas could see a significant Ice Storm!

Please stay tuned to Media and Weather Outlets.

Sorry, no time to draw out thoughts this morning on a map.

BTW.. thing ** COULD ** change as we are still a ways away from the main storm system. I will be watching trends and reporting on them especially in the Forum.

All for now!

2/11 FIRST GUESS POSTED

In general, this looks like a serious storm, but most of Virginia and NC will be spared the winter threat. Snow to start in the DC area and down to Carlottesville, followed by a serious Ice threat. N and W of DC and in Western Maryland and north, a serious snow threat.

 

Map can be found on the website!

 

OF NOTE: Latest model runs seem to imply less snow and more icing or even rain threat! Realize this is a Guess at this point!

 

Will TRY and get a new map out early tomorrow. MAY not be able to provide anything other than analysis beyont that until tomorrow night! By that time, the storm will be on the doorstep!

2/11 HEAVY WINTER STORM TUESDAY

---

HEAVY SNOW STORM WITH POSSIBLE ICING

---

Things are lining up for a major Winter Storm. Especially  north of Fredericksburg . Areas could see up to a foot and some places more especially in Maryland. MANY factors could change who get the biggest snows and even ice storm possibilities. Best Chances seem to be Washington, DC to Charlottesville and north as well as up to Baltimore and North. Ice could really become an issue in the transition area.

This one is a serious one. Please stay tuned to radio and news outlets.

More to come!

2/6 Light Snow event tonight will ALL stick!

Light Snow Tonight!

 

A light snow event tonight will drop a 1-3" swath of snow mainly cutting across the central part of Virginia. Light snow will quickly stick to all surfaces though as the ground and roads are so cold. Areas draw a line horizontal from Roanoke to Richmond and then from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg and the areas between and along those lines have the best chance of the 3" totals. Areas north of that line will see totals back off to 1" in Northern VA and a dusting in Maryland, and south will quickly drop to just a dusting.

 

Despite this, the very cold ground could make tomorrow morning the worst winter weather commute we have had this winter! Be careful!

Sorry all! Yes, there is another storm possible in about 1 week! we will see! The real story, VERY COLD next week!

2/1 DC/MD/VA Winter Weather Alert

2 waves of precipitation, Snow to a mix, but maybe a good amount of snow for Higher elevations in SW VA

 

North of Roanoke in the Mountains towards SW VA and Northeast up to just SW of Charlottesville could see the most snow with 3-6" shot.

 

Areas along I-95 to 30 miles east, 1-2" then a mix. Precip amounts could approach Winter Storm warning of .25" along I-95 and west up to about Ashland.

 

1-3" of Snow north of here along I-95 up to Baltimore and ares 20 miles either side of I-95. Again, a mix tomorrow night.

 

1-4" west of the I-95 area from Western Loudoun and Frederick Count MD above down to Charlottesville. Closer to 4" in the southern areas of that region, less towards the MD/VA Border.

 

Models are split tonight! Thus the larger ranges. This one has some surprise potential especially looking at the large snow sheild on Radar.

 

Tweaking likely tomorrow, but light snow may overspread most of the area by morning in the south and by noon, Nortehrn VA and by 3pm in Maryland.

 

All for now!

1/31/2007 DC/MD/VA Winter Weather Alert

Sloppy Thursday Night Winter weather will pose problems for many.

A storm system will bring snow over the area Thursday but the system will also bring warmer air in over top the cold air that is in place. This warm air will turn most areas from the mountains east over to a mix of sleet and freezing rain. On the latest model runs the precipitation amounts have backed off somewhat so it is possible the ice will not b major up further north, but the North Carolina Piedmont to the mounts into southwestern Virginia up to about Charlottesville and eastward towards the western Suburbs of Richmond could see ice up to the .25" needed for major issues. The ground is cold too so this time the ice will cause serious driving problems. Ice could reach that much up in areas north of these so all motorists will need to be using caution, but a 1-3" snow may precede the ice as well.

More to Come as things hopefully clear up on the forecast models!

1/28 Mid Atlantic Weather Alert: Isolated accumulations

Scattered Snowshowers this afternoon. Chance of a little accumulation possible in the western Mountains and Far northastern Maryland as well as eastern PA and NJ could see isolated accumulating snows in the 1-3" category.  Pinpointing exactly where is very difficult as it will be on a meso scale level. Elsewhere in areas north of Fredericksburg to a Charlottesville in Virginia and all through Maryland may say enough to dust some grassy areas. The system gives me a bit of concern that a few areas could be surprised by more snow than thought so check radars later today!

 

Late next week Storm looking less likely! Pattern will relax just enough to have a mix or snow to rain scenario based on current model readings!

Winter Weather Alert

Snow will Visit Region with 1-3" and mixes as well.

1-3" will fall from a n area north Charlottesville to Fredericksburg line and South of a Frederick county to Baltimore county line. Then a mix will occur from Richmond Southwest to the areas just east of the North Carolina Mountains. It would appear that .10 to .25" of ice is possible, the heaviest in Valleys and areas just east of the Mountains (Up to 40 miles east of Mountains in the Piedmont.)

This is not a huge event, but ice would be an issue for travel. Precip will start later in the morning in the SW and late in the day for the northern parts.

Snow will end as freezing drizzle. Of note, when these storms are ideal some places get some heavier precip so isolated 4-5" totals on snow would not surprise me!

Later next week, POTENTIAL, Really is there for a good snow for parts of the region! I will keep you posted. No time to do a map tonight, MAY have one tomorrow Morning!!!!

12/7 First Snow Flakes not out of the Question today

Just wanted to give people a heads up that this afternoon and evening may bring with it some snow showers, especially the further north you are. The western Slopes of the Mountains will see their first significant snows (3-6") and the higher Blue Ridge could see an inch or so.. the areas east of the mountains may also see their first few flakes. Longer term after a quick very cold shot tonight and tomorrow, a warmer/milder trend appears to be coming during next week!

Weather conditions will continue to worsen as a dynamic system organizes in our region. High winds, heavy rains and even potentially severe storms will occur as things come together. Severe weather will mainly be possible east of I-95. 1-3" of rain could occur. After things clear tomorrow, get ready for very heavy winds as the storm really organizes north of here causing western New England and the Great lakes an eventual snowstorm with even Blizzard like conditions in some instances..

As is typical with this time of year, we will moderate some through the middle of next week. Next weekend may again present wet weather and much cooler conditions.

All for now!

9/28/2006 DC?MD/VA Sever Weather Discussion

There is a risk of some isolated severe storms today due to a strong cold front that will come through this afternoon and evening. Strong winds and large hail are possible in some storms.

 

Stay tuned to TV and radio Outlets for watches and/or warnings.

9/24 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Outlook

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

 

A strong front and area o energy will cross the region today. The energy available with a very moist and unstable atmosphere should end up producing scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. The biggest threat from the storms today will be damaging winds, but isolated hail reports are not out of the question. There is a slight risk of isolated tornadoes as well.

 

Please stay alert to TV and Radio outlets for watches and warnings that will likely be posted this afternoon!

 

All for now!

 

9/16 Outlook for Possible Seveer Weather Tuesday

Due to lack of Internet access the next several days this is an early outlook for potential severe weather Tuesday or Wednesday of next Week! It will be followed by some much cooler weather as we heat up early in the week!

All for a Week! =)

8/31/2006 09:08:00 PM DC/MD/VA Weather Update

Ernesto coming ashore with almost Hurricane force this evening.

 

It appears that it may head a bit further east than first thought. Still looking at a good 3-6"+ with isolatead 10"+ amounts. The storm will be a bit stronger than first anticipated so some gust winds tomorrow and areas on teh immediate coastal plain. Please monitor these 2 threads for the latest on the Tropical System and the Flooding Threat: Flood Threat: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1244.0

 

Tropical Storm Thread: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1230.0

 

Please DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS! The eventual track could be a curve as it runs into a strong blocking high to the north. This High will be the key in precip amounts. I would say that areas would be dealing with a huge winter storm if the time of year was right =)

 

Stay tuned to news and weather outlets for warnings.

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

I hope you have been reading www.midatlanticweather.com and seen my concerns on the coming flooding rains over the next few days! As Tropical Storm Ernesto (I suspect he will be upgraded to Tropical Storm within hours of re-emerging off the coast of Florida) moves up the coast, a High Pressure will also provide a fetch of moisture off the Atlantic. Needless to say the combination will prove extremely wet and we will see very heavy rainfall. To the east of the Circulation Severe weather will likely occur with some tornadoes possible. All in all 5- 10" of rain is possible, especially across the Flood plains, River Flooding is anticipated as well as some Flash Flooding!

PLEASE STAY ALERT to the weather and DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS!

6/27 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

Severe Weather Alert

A developing tropical system is getting entrained into the front that has been stalled across the region. The combination of this tropical system and the front as well as intermittent sunshine is causing numerous showers and storms to develop. This is of course bad news for flooding which appears that it may worsen as the tropical system moves through, but now Severe Storms capable of strong winds and isolated tornadoes are also possible, especially in eastern areas. Please stay alert to news and radio outlets for watches and or warnings! Never drive through water!

6/23 Severe Weather Alert

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT!

A frontal boundary has become stationary over the area and will reamin for the next several days. At first the contrasts between the warm and cooler air will be a focus for seveer storms today. The biggest threat will be high winds and hail. Isolated tornadoes will also be possible!

 

FLOODING RAINS Likely for Some

The stalled front responsible for strong to severe storms will also help squeeze out abundant moisture. Flooding seems very probable for parts of the region where areas could top 6 inches of rain between now and early next week!

 

Please stay tuned to Radio and News outlets for watches or warnings.

 

Also visit http://www.midatlanticweather.com for the weather information you need in the Mid Atlantic!

 

 

 

6/22 Severe Weather Alert

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT!

A frontal boundary will become stationary over the area for the next several days. At first the contrasts between the warm and cooler air over the front will be come a focus mechanism for Strong and Severe storms today and especially tomorrow.

 

FLOODING RAINS POSSBLE

The stalled front responsible for strong to severe storms will also help squeeze out abundant moisture. Flooding seems very probable for parts of the region where areas could top 6 inches of rain between now and early next week!

 

VERY HOT TODAY

The rain in the north today MAY assist in holding temperatures from reaching the maxes once forecast, but I do believe many areas will see temperatures in the mid 90s today and could see heat indexes at 100 degrees or more! Be careful!

 

 

6/19 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

6/19 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

 With the approach of a weak frontal boundary and a very warm atmosphere, conditions should become favorable for some thunderstorms.

A little snow. Not much!

Many north of a Fredericksburg to Charlottesville line up to Baltimore will see a little snow tomorrow. Ground temps will be warm. Expecting nothing more than a dusting to an inch or so.

 

There could be slightly more near Charlottesville and in the higher elevations.

 

2" would be the max for low elevations and not much will fall in Northern Maryland.

 

Hey.. it is Late March!

 

There is a slight possibility of another storm this weekend that could cause snow.. but I am not very confident in the idea and again higher elevations would see the real threat.

 

We need rain in the region as we are very, very dry!

 
 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

Colder than normal temps + a southern storm= SNOWSTORM POSSIBLE!

---

Colder than normal temps + a southern storm= SNOWSTORM POSSIBLE!

---

Summary:  Wow! Here we go with another chance of snow! Anyone remember temps last weekend?  That is right! Give the weather a week and things can chage. The Combining features. A strong 1040MB High (Impressive this time of year) in Canada and a southern storm. So many things work against accumulating snow in areas east of the mountains this time of year!

1. Warm ground
2. Warm sun
3. Long daylight hours
4. Climatology

 

BUT.. there are exceptions to every situation! And this may be the exception! Right now, the most favored areas are higher elevations, especially north of Charlottesville. Higher elevations could see 3-6” and lower elevations 1-3”. Areas west of I-95 north of Fredericksburg to Charlottesville seem more likely to me than anywhere else to see snow (other than the mountains of course)

 

Longer term appears to remain below normal to near normal temps and continued dry.

A little snow after 85 degree weather! Wow!

Later tonight in areas mainly North of Fredericksburg to Charlottesville and west of I-95 may see a bit of snow! Snow could set up in a narrow band and cause heavier accumulations (up to 3" on grassy areas in higher elevations), but mainly a dusting for most who see it.. Road and ground temperatures are pretty warm so this will not cause major issues except maybe some of the higher elevations.

 

Temperatures will remain cool through the weekend and another rain/snow mixing type scenario may unfold next week. That is iffy as of now.

 

85 degree temps to snow in 4 days! Wow!

 

All for now!

Severe Storms Possible and a Switch Back to colder weather =(

Severe Storms Possible Today

 

After a beautiful weekend we will have a strong front coming through the area this evening and overnight. Preceding this front will be record or near record warmth in the mid and upper 80s. The sharp contrast in temperatures is a focus line for strong to severe storms. The biggest threat will be high winds and hail, but isolated tornadoes are not out of the question. The biggest threat time will be between 5pm tonight and 1am tomorrow morning.

 

Unfortunately this is a signal to colder temps for the rest of the week. There is even a chance of some snow Thursday night in parts of the region!

 

All for now.

 

 

2/22 Some Areas of heavy/moderate snow and accumlations

Snow is falling rather moderately to sometimes heavy north and western regions! Reports in the far west and slightly elevated areas have 3-5". There appears to be a chance that grassy areas could have 1-2" where it is snowing moderately now!

 

When snow is moderate and heavy, slushy to snow covered roads have been reported! Stay safe. I can see the western edge of the precipitation on radar advancing eastward so things will likely end between 10 and 11 am.

 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

2/21 Increased Risk for Light Snow Tomorrow

There is an increased risk of light snow in the morning tomorrow as a southern weather disturbance passes through the area. The increased risk will be for areas where precip begins before sunrise. The reason for increasing the risk is the colder temperatures that are already in place as the area is under ideal radiational cooling. Best risk of light accumulations would be Virginia west of a Charlottesville to Roanoke line. I am not expecting more that a dusting to an inch in these areas, but roads could be cold making commutes rough. For the rest of the area, the risk is there that precip could start before dawn. If it does, allow extra time as small events like these are usually the roughest commutes! Once the sun is up, temps appear to rise to start melting and even could transition precip to rain in areas. IF precip begins before sunrise, the rise in temps could be slower.

 

Be careful!

 

Of note, we will have the coldest air of the season Sunday and Monday followed by a continues cooler than normal period. In the 7-10 day period there are signals of a potential significant winter storm!

 

All for now!
 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

2/18 Light Snow possible today

Already snowing in Southwestern VA and western NC. Expect up to an inch in most spots. In Southwestern 1-3" with isolated 4" amounts higher elevations seems possible. Best accumulations will be on car tops and grassy areas!

 

Snow chances best from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg to Salisbury and south. Best chance of Accumlations, 30 miles either side of a Dublin to Roanoke to Richmond line.

 

up to an inch possible.

 

1-3" Southwestern VA where snow started around sunrise!

 

All for now!

2/10 SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM CONTINUES ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM CONTINUES ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

 

What: All models are showing what should become a significant snow storm for the mid Atlantic Region this weekend.

 

When: Starting overnight Friday in the southwestern regions and spreading over the northern areas by late afternoon Saturday

 

How Much: Well, ranges in precip come in between 3-6” (Further South and west) and  4-8” (Further North and even east).. Some areas **COULD** see amounts in the 10” range.

Where:

I-95 areas and about 40 miles either side of it may be the jackpot areas until you get midway between Richmond and Fredericksburg, where you should pull the rain/snow line back west to western North Carolina.

Southeastern Virginia, from Just west of Richmond to Danville and the areas east should see a mix and the closer to the coast a changeover to rain. (Like Williamsburg to the Eastern Shore and Lower Southern Maryland)

 

This will be fine tuned… and I hope a map later tonight.

 

Amount Highlights:

Hagerstown: 3-6”

Frederick, MD: 3-6”

Montgomery, MD: 3-6”

Baltimore: 4-8”

D.C: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet/rain at start)

Dulles: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet)

Fredericksburg: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet)

Salisbury: 1-2” then Rain

Richmond: 1-2” (Mixing with rain and sleet)

Williamsburg 1-2” (Mixing with sleet and rain)

Emporia: Trace then rain

VA Beach: Few flakes then rain

Martinsburg: 3-6” (Some Sleet)

Roanoke: 3-6”

Charlottesville: 3-6”

Leesburg: 3-6”

 

Hopefully this gives you some idea of my thoughts!

 

 

Concerns:

1. System bombing out and timing will make all the difference! I am thinking Maryland near Baltimore could be closer to 10”+ amounts
2. The speed of movement is in question to an extent. Speed will make all the difference as well.
3. A dry slot could develop in areas which will drop amounts
4. time of day is not favorable for best accumulations.
5. Any convective activity will up amounts in some regions… yes… Thundersnow!
6. Still worried about a Southeastward shift in storm track. One of the latest models confirmed this concern.

 

All for now!

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

 

What: All models are showing what should become a significant snow storm for the Mid Atlantic Region this weekend.

 

When: Starting overnight Friday in the southwestern regions and spreading over the northern areas by late afternoon Saturday

 

How Much: Well, ranges in precip come in between 3-5” for a large area with some higher spots likely seeing 4-8”. It does appear that there will be a sharp cut off on the western edge so the mountains and westward may really miss the heavier snows as well as the immediate piedmont areas of Western Maryland and Northern Virginia. Please note there could be some higher amounts within the jack pot areas as well. A lot to watch!

 

Where:

I-95 areas and about 30 miles either side of it may be the jackpot areas until you get just south of Richmond where you should pull the rain/snow line back west to western North Carolina.

Southeastern Virginia and the areas east of 30 miles or so east of I-95 should see a mix and the closer to the coast a changeover to rain.

Western and north of areas from Leesburg down to Charlottesville and then Southwestward towards Bristol could see a rapid drop off in snow amounts, but this is too detailed and could change

 

This will be fine tuned.

 

Concerns:

1. True model Consensus is not there yet.
2. Amounts will be hard to determine until the models handle some of the phasing of the systems better
3. Could see a further north and west pull of warm air if the system gets stronger, thus putting I-95 corridor in jeopardy of a changeover
4. There is also the possibility the storm stays further South and East which would limit Northern and Western area snows.. As noted, there could be a sharp cut off in snow to the west.

 

All for now!

1/13 DC/MD/VA Severe and winter weather alert

The first things first: Severe weather possible overnight. Very strong winds tomorrow. Possible period of snow tomorrow night (Northern areas and Appalachians, mainly west of I-p5 and north of Fredericksburg.

 

Biggest threat tonight is high winds but isolated tornadoes are possible.

 

All I have time for now!

 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

1/2 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

Severe weather possible today.

A strong cold front will combine with a developing low pressure to cause widespread heavy rains and some strong to severe thunderstorms today. The best chances for severe weather will be the Southern areas of Virginia and especially North Carolina. Areas just east of the mountains may be stable enough to prevent the severe weather. The biggest threat would be strong winds and hail, but conditions in North Carolina (and limited elsewhere) does appear to be able to support tornadoes!

Please stay alert to weather and media outlets for watches or warnings.

Of note, this morning temperatures in the northern parts of the mountain valleys has been cold enough fro some freezing rain.

All for now!
