CyphaPSU 406 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 More flakey sleet now--which is nice because it's making the iced driveway more grippy to walk on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hm2 503 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Regardless of what the KPHL number ends up at, everyone here did a great job at identifying the banding potential and close call over I-95. There will be a 6"+ gradient across Philadelphia county with this. Could have ended up a few miles in either direction easily. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The people that took the under because "it's philly" will seem vindicated. I also saw pros rationalize that you should never underestimate the warm nose. They will also feel vindicated. But the reality is, that was a close one...closer than they will ever admit. Also, the idea that this would continue to shift NW because "that's the seasonal trend," was also put to bed. Models honed the SE PA / C NJ corridor in the short term as best as they could. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The soundings/warm nose were not much different from the December high bust. We just lacked a little more at 500mb this time, and that was enough to have more mixing involved. At least, that's my guess. Dec had a well defined wave whereas this time we were basically under a ridge with sufficient channelized vorticity/wind convergence for omega.

There will always be a difference between density at sea level and suburbs above the fall line. But not a we-outsnow-you-three-to-one-every-time difference. It is true that this year has featured some nasty warm noses (it is still sleeting here, in fact, well past 10 AM). But the bigger reality is that aside from December PHL has just been very unlucky with banding placement* this year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
