Tracking February 6. Light to moderate event potential
ORH_wxman replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
Slowly sinking south. We got to 31 but then now back to 28.5…but the real cold tuck is a little north just north of Sudbury and between 495 and 128 where it’s dropping into the low/mid 20s. Should try to push a little more in the next couple hours before weakening. -
Scooter is on tilt. He’s pulling out the Kevin reverse psychology or getting taken to the woodshed so many times since 2022 has turned him into Tblizz. Once he grabs 8-10 on the weekend he will be back to his normal self.

Yeah let’s rip 4 feet in February and then go March 2018 except not bust on two storms.

@CoastalWx and @40/70 Benchmark, 50mb split complete by D5 now. Looks like a lock. Wonder if we can prolong the blocking longer than weeklies think due to this.

1.1" of complete garbage in Holliston....started like dry cement....now its like half frozen wet cement. Temp has actually creeped up to 30.5F here. But might get a little cold tuck here in the next 3-5 hours. Closer to BOS might have to really watch for little mini-flash freeze. The HRRR shows it really well sloshing that Merrimack valley air in the low 20s back SSE. -
Early Feb 1994 and late Feb/early Mar 1960 are similar. The latter had a monster KU at the end of the pattern. I would say the pattern next week is most similar to 1994 with the SE ridge flexing, but it morphs more like 1960 in the week after that as the NAO/AO block really imposes its will.

It's definitely one of the most favorable patterns since 2015 (not that the bar has been set very high since that winter...maybe Mar 2018 would contend too)....but it's not really like 2015 itself. Different type of favorable pattern. 2015 was almost purely Pacific driven....it did have an occasional weak block in the Atlantic, but overall it was positive NAO. This is going to be a -NAO linking up with a -EPO ridge with a negative PNA and forming basically a north pole block.
-
OP Euro has threats every 3 days or so out to the end of the run. Not really a surprise given the pattern funneling everything toward us, but good to see it consistently showing up almost every run.

GGEM is ridiculous for next week in SNE. Solid moderate hit for Tuesday and then a major hit for Thursday.

Fast flow. You don’t get lingering storms…on the coast it might prolong a bit with the 925-850 flow trying to enhance things and almost an IVT look as it departs. But otherwise it’s a quick hitter. Best chance for prolonged snow is maybe we can get some prolonged overrunning next week for a time. But often it ends up focusing into a narrower window.

It’s almost very fine pixie dust here rather than your classic loud pingers. Stuff out there is like dry cement consistency. -

Finally some good snow growth in this band but we'll prob lose it in a few min according to radar. -

This is some of the worst snow growth...maybe about 3/4" of very dense snow. Can't imagine we have better than 8 to 1 despite very cold temps.
