Gotta step away for a few... will post more realtime when I can 23z (18z 3k NAM left, mesoanalysis right)
-
Definitely, awesome nowcast event with good rationale to anticipate upside...
-
Agree, that's been the fly in the guidance ointment for days... both from perspective of low placement and conveyor mechanics. See the 21z HRRR... it exemplifies that eastern low refusing to decay and shifting dynamics east faster. I think there's good reason to be skeptical of that with the intense vorticity over KY/WV and results on the ground, and the weaker-than-progged pressure/wind obs of our culprit off NC.
-
That 21z HRRR run looks strange... the eastern low, which materializes 4z-5z out of not much, refuses to fade the entire run, and so dynamics at our latitude shunt east faster than earlier runs. Stranger things happen, but I'd think the vorticity over KY/WV (apparently with results on the ground) will be the main driver of SLP development.
-
Definitely, I actually assumed it was a radar sparse area over the ocean... I'm looking at the pressure and wind field response of the ocean low, which are clearly lagging at least vs. 18z 3k NAM.
-
Yep, exemplified by 21z HRRR... between 4z and 5z Friday poof it develops a surface low far east that drives the show and refuses to give up the wheel... almost as if the strong vorticity rounding KY/WV were not there... doesn't make sense to me.
-
18z 3k NAM (left) vs. mesoanalysis for 22z... this is promising... (the east system is weak / disorganized) 21z HRRR (vs. earlier runs) hangs on to the eastern SLP a little longer... let's hope it's wrong
-
18z GFS almost looks like it's wrapping the convection into eastern MA by 12z Friday... Will mentioned this hypothetical earlier:
-
Box will want to expand the 8-12" area if this keeps up, at least further west along the pike region into southeast MA
-
Here's the culprit off the coast that we're hoping is over-developed on guidance: Hard to extrapolate from now, need to see how this evolves over next 6 hours... we want to see less convection blowing up and less of an organized/deepening low 21z:
-
Here we go... Awesome nowcast event with very reasonable high bust potential, especially for eastern SNE Excellent map from what I'm seeing at the moment:
-
Hugely improved and illustrates the high bust potential, especially for eastern SNE Better digging vorticity, much more emphasis on the western low center
-
Differences from 12z looks to me noise In fact, this run continues the Euro 6z/18z || 0z/12z waffle, with the former more robust. That has been going on for over a day now... must reflect something about how these are run. So expect 6z to come in more robust again.
-
We've been calling for the NW trend and a GFS cave for days now, despite skepticism. The OTS tracks simply did not make sense with the position/strength of vorticity and trough. Never wavered from 3-6/4-8 since weekend, and there is still potential for more as I think that lead convection is still mucking up the low positioning and best conveyor mechanics on guidance.
-
That kink (green arrow)... this (0z left) is a definite improvement over 18z NAM (right), and 12z NAM was garbage:
-
At hr 33 look at that upstream kink at H5, wasn't there on 18z... I think gonna be a better run What's for sure, 12z NAM was an outlier
-
18z GFS showing signs of caving, and even so still could be better given that vorticity strength/placement but it struggles with low placement and conveyor mechanics because of that lead convection. Consensus is growing, and I still think there is potential for more NW trends.
-
For fun, from 3kNAM Boston area Friday morning... would be heaviest we've seen since last year:
-
The big holdouts we need to see cave are GFS and 12k NAM, which at the moment are in good agreement with each other but nothing else. What I see as continuing discordance between strength/placement of that vorticity and SLP on the 18z 12k NAM make me think we'll see trends for better this evening.
-
Given that NAM/GFS were the worst at 12z, this is a definite positive step. Still think the strength of this vorticity (now that it's held with overnight sampling) brings potential for better trends.
-
Yeah I take this as a positive, better H5 evolution (stronger, more consolidated further west), even though surface is a head scratcher
-
I think this comes in better than 12z Through 36h, vort is more consolidated, looks more similar to 12z RGEM than 12z NAM
-
Blend of 12z NAM/RGEM/EC/UK/CMC supports 3-6/4-8 for eastern SNE I like the Box map and think they hold steady this afternoon
-
Oh I understand, that was my concern as well, and why the 6z/12z meso runs today are reassuring. 12z Euro almost identical to 0z, a hair less than 6z.
