Severe Thunderstorms into Sunday; Atmospheric River Impacting the Pacific Northwest

Severe thunderstorms will bring sporadic reports of damaging winds and a few tornadoes through Sunday across a broad portion of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast U.S. A weak atmospheric river is forecast to impact Oregon and northern California on Sunday bringing rain, mountain snow, and gusty winds.

Low End Amount – 9 in 10 Chance (90%) of Higher Snowfall

 

This map depicts a reasonable lower-end snowfall amount for the time period shown on the graphic, based on many computer model simulations of possible snowfall totals. This lower amount is an unlikely scenario with a 9 in 10, or 90% chance that more snow will fall, and only a 1 in 10, or 10% chance that less snow will fall. This number can help serve as a lower-end scenario for planning purposes.

Expected Snowfall - Official NWS Forecast

 

This map is the official NWS snowfall forecast in inches during the time period shown on the graphic. This snowfall amount is determined by NWS forecasters to be the most likely outcome based on evaluation of data from computer models, satellite, radar, and other observations.

High End Amount – Only a 1 in 10 Chance (10%) of Higher Snowfall

 

This map depicts a reasonable upper-end snowfall amount for the time period shown on the graphic, based on many computer model simulations of possible snowfall totals. This higher amount is an unlikely scenario, with only a 1 in 10, or 10% chance that more snow will fall, and a 9 in 10, or 90% chance that less snow will fall. This number can help serve as an upper-end scenario for planning purposes.
 
The purpose of these experimental probabilistic snowfall products is to provide customers and partners a range of snowfall possibilities, in complement to existing NWS deterministic snowfall graphics, to better communicate forecast uncertainties during winter weather events.

Percent Chance That Snow Amounts Will Be Greater Than

 

This series of maps shows the probability (that is, the likelihood) that snowfall will equal or exceed specific amounts during the time period shown on the graphic. These forecasts are based on many computer model simulations of possible snowfall totals.

Winter Storm Severity

The purpose of the Winter Storm Severity Index (WSSI) is to provide NWS partners and the general public with an indication of the level of winter precipitation (snow and ice) severity and its potential related societal impacts. The WSSI does not depict official warnings, and should always be used in context with official NWS forecasts and warnings. Because this is a prototype, it may not update in a timely fashion. Always check the creation and valid times.

Winter Storm Outlook

The NWS’s The Experimental Winter Storm Outlook (WSO) is based on a combination of the Weather Prediction Center’s (WPC’s) Probabilistic Winter Precipitation Forecasts (PWPF) and local National Weather Service (NWS) snow and ice accumulation warning criteria. Therefore, the WSO provides an early alert to hazardous winter weather conditions in a similar fashion to other national center outlooks, and also assists with NWS Winter Storm Watch and Warning decision making.

National Snowfall Analysis

The National Gridded Snowfall Analysis estimates snowfall in the recent past by gathering several operational data sets into a unified analysis. Snowfall observations are provided by numerous observing networks, including ASOS, COOP, CoCoRaHS, FAA, NWS spotters, and others.
