Nah, GR2 would be absolute overkill for the news anchors in the studio. For that matter, most of its tools are geared to post-storm analysis. As a met, I couldn't have justified the expense at the station.

Disappointing. GR3 3 is a major upgrade complete with the different addressable flash flood and tornado warning polygons, stuff that the anchors could have found useful. I even paid for my own upgrade.

It's not holey at all!

The other factor that is cutting down the amounts instead of enhancing ratios: bone dry air in the low levels that will be tough to overcome. Losing hours and hours of actual snow falling to sublimation virga.

If a highly phased scenario does indeed happen, you're likely to get very strong updrafts that will drastically increase the "fluff factor".

Ideally, you would want to see a lot more of those "plumes" clustered together, and clustered near the mean. The trick of the trade is that increases confidence in the "operational" output of a weather forecast model.

Too many butterflies having an effect.

They can't decide if the streams are going to phase, either a little or a lot.

It says jargon for meteorologists 😜 It means the models that everyone is seeing in viral clickbait posts probably do not have a good, certain handle on the next storm, either in large amounts of snow or zero amounts of snow for DC.

Looks like opening a non-text file with Notepad.

It has us.

That mix lasted mere minutes. We have very light snow now at the station. That means precipitation rates aloft are already very heavy. Conditions will deteriorate quickly during the evening rush, and especially after sunset.

Person would have lost their mind during "sublimation".
