To keep things separate from the long-range thread, figured it would be good to break this out. might just be me posting to myself...
anyhow, good looking set-up for some ocean effect snow sat pm - sun midday.
torched SSTs leaving us with really good delta Ts given 850s of -12 to -14C,
good unidirectional NNE flow up to 850/825 mb or so
ocean induced CAPES nearing 750 jkg depending upon the model run and sounding location
and models actually spitting out decent qpf (by OES standards)...agai
