I hope everyone had a wonderful V-Day today. The work week is going to start off awful with snow, ice, and rain.

February 15-16, 2016 OBS & Final Call 12719336_1042726292437727_735198894313402069_o

My biggest change from my 1st call to the final is cutting down on snow amounts in PA. Otherwise, it is relatively the same. The toughest part of the forecast is figuring out how much ice may accumulate. If the changeover is longer than expected, potentially due to the stubborn cold air, then we will see more ice accumulate in parts of interior and northern NJ. I also thing the flooding could be bad for some in NNJ and eastern PA. The ground is frozen so it will not absorb water as easily. Start and end times are posted on the map in the upper right.

The fun begins again post February 22nd. See long range thread for more details.

Best,

Frank

Light snow will fall from squalls but the main action is still well south of the area. The air is very dry so we may battle some virga.

From JB

JB-


February 15 09:35 AM
A winter storm warning has been issued around DC as the snow is coming in thickly with the wave I am counting on to leave a boundary behind that will have a tough time getting into the areas getting what is a snowstorm today, I like 3-6 in DC fading to 1-3 around NYC, but am getting more concerned this just comes up the I-95 corridor and carries the 3-6 into NYC, Amazing that was the first forecast there and what has changing it got me? Its back west of that where the snow is overforecasted, but the battle now becomes is it a big ice storm

Latest HRRR has a prettyt decent front end thump even on LI esp the N shore. About 5 hrs worth. Cold air is always diff to scour out. Freezing rain will def be an issue for many, so everyone please be careful driving later.
