Keith O Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks like repeat of last week (just about 10 deg warmer) as having doubts that warm front ever make it through NW NJ. Think we are down with precip from this event as main cold front activity will be well south of here later on today. Tornado watches up for DC/Balt area!

earthlight Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Awesome to watch these processes at work as precipitation that was training west to east along the front is now moving northeast as the low level jet kicks in. Clearing line inching north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith O Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looking at latest sat loop (http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconus.html) it appears clouds are pushing S and E and most of NJ looks to be cloudy soon. Not seeing that clearing line pushing North for sure. I'm OVC and 59F right now in Monmouth, but it looks like skies will clear soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sun just came out here, clouds are very thin I'm at 60F but still cloudy. If we can get these clouds to thin I'd probably torch into the upper 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 and now we are overcast again Gotta love it, tracking a T-storm threat in late Feb. Days like today make me wish for 95.0/72 with -8 LI's and 4000 MUCAPES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Per the current radar in PA, it looks like the precip is moving ever so slightly ENE. Looks like we still have a shot at more significant rain but the convection doesn't look like its going to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we still have a shot at more significant rain but the convection doesn't look like its going to make it. This is probably it--the low level jet is already veered. The warm sector is tightening rapidly and we're running out of time. I doubt that we are going to get convection up into this area this afternoon.

IsentropicLift Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Very poor modeling from a few days out. It wasn't until yesterday that most models latched onto the idea of not giving our region much in the way of anything. At least we got the heavy rain this morning to not make this event a complete bust on all levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uofmiami Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 NAM looks like it did well lowering QPF since yesterday's 18Z run onward with not giving NYC area 1-1.5+" of QPF as the earlier runs of the model did on Sunday. So far only .38 in Muttontown. Think a few thought the NAM was out to lunch, but looks like it did well. We'll see how the rest of the day goes around here.

And now 18z NAM is even further south and has ZERO precip for the area left. Looks like we all finish with .25"-.50". A far cry from the ridiculous, 1.50" amounts models were showing for the past couple days. Including the almighty euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrials Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 had this been a snowstorm we'd be expecting 12-18 and only end up with 3-6... well, to be fair, the sun angle would have taken care of a lot of it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
