Frontal Snowsquall Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Worried about my chances (they are already pretty low) for this one, the south winds are usually quite strong in the higher hills of the Central Metro. Still hope my elevation is an advantage! Either way I get heavy rain- this could be the wettest day I've recorded on my weather station.Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the heavy rain for once. I love seeing strong echos on radar. If we could have heavy snow mixed in there it will just be a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiedog Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Rod’s a little cooky. Our “chances” moving forward have nothing to do with east winds. It’s about post-frontal heavy precip with dead gradients and the column working its way to going isothermal.You're absolutely correct but if there is an east wind component, it will aid in dropping the temp an additional degree or two in the lower levels and that could make the difference down on the valley floor. It's going to be pretty marginal below 500ft or so. It could make that difference of a degree or two. I think that's what he's alluding to.
