Heavy rain predawn, to showers and later on just overcast. Temp gradient departed this a.m across Garrett around mid morning. (8-10am). A NW flow behind the cold front late morning allowed for some slightly cooler, drier air to filter in.

Big Picture.. 500 mb anomaly at present to day 10. The blocking becomes more favorably positioned with time. As of current, not ideal for next weekend. Upper pattern however does look better however than operational models are showing at the surface. Needs watched. GIF-180225_193324

Ensemble members as far as snowfall off the 12zecmwf and gfs next 2 weeks

 

Short term temps off the 3km nam. Which has its biases. 1 is it will go extreme on low elevation valleys mins…but for our purpose, we aren’t worried about that. Near term, high Wv ground above 4000′ may see a trace of rime in the morning, or a fine flake. Temps 29-32. Monday night, Snowshoe may have some snow making opportunity. Not sure further north. GIF-180225_200640
