Amongst the weather group last night, there was some discussion of the possibility of flakes at Spruce Knob this morning. It doesn’t appear that panned out. Models were showing 850s around 1°C/33.8F with pockets of precip through daybreak today.
Temp falls this evening- Northern Canaan site dropping rapidly from 8 pm through 10pm. A 9 degree drop in a half hour, 10.6 in 40 minutes after 8pm. The 3km parameters strongly hinted at the possibility of the light winds remaining up on the high ground. The model also modeled these blips of very low dew points. A tipoff that valleys may drop and hold cold before the return flow eventually scours it out. Which, i believe as you’ll see in tomorrow’s post, cloud cover was the main temp moderation from 1:30am the 15th till daybreak. As temps did not jump to match the high ground
