Typhoon Tip

yup, back to reality tomorrow.

looks like a zygote low pressure forming on the boundary right over you

NAM has d(t) of 14C between 980 and 800 mb over logan at 18z, so about 7C per 90mb. That's a bit steeper than standard adiabat so the mixing should be efficient. It's only put 31kts sustained at mid BL tho, so... good lapse rate at least

Euro is oscillating between blase AN air masses that end with d-drip fake wind events back to a day and half of BN ... then repeating.

yeah yeah, we know -

Man that is an ugly sfc evolution next week from the 12z op GFS. Bring back the 00z please ...

it may be that there are two disparate things going on ... Those models you mention may be over selling the mixing. But the March sun and bigger gusts aspect is real physics. It's just not clear if these models are picking up on that, or if they are just wild for some other reason. The sun's aspect may not account for the amount of overturning in the models, in other words.

Not trying to sell Kevin's roof ending up on Boston Common, but ... keep in mind, the March sun is very powerful compared to even Feb, and getting stronger by non-negligible %'s per day as we approach the Equinox. The boundary layer will bump ... Whether this is 'why' BUFKIT may appear so well-mixed or not, there is an environmental argument that convective overturning and BL expansion being proficient - just because it may be an annoyingly cold day, doesn't mean these mechanics are not in play. This is just an added aspect to concern. It's not the same CAA as it is on Jan 6 when the sun is shining from a cool azimuth.

UKMET looks a little better for warmth. Aligns that 2.5 day static look next week with the front stalled along the St Law., giving more wiggle room.

mm looks like 39mph gusts with one or two lucky 50 type stuff

Hard to feel very confident about a warm interlude in the mid range out there when the supposed better performing guidance types keep sending bulbs of +PP eastward N of a boundary that only has about 75 miles of wiggle run stretching between BUF-BOS. Climo in March? that ends up south. we'll see Looks like a classic set up for 70s that actually go onto verifying as 45ers while it's 70 in S of Newark NJ

nice ribbon echo in there

Today's melt appears more effective than any yet for the snow pack around here. It's visibly retreating by the hour. We're up to 55 and the DP's 47 let's do this

based on ?
