Tulip Trouncer Threat III - April Fool's Joke


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm now balls deep into this one. Checking out 500 plots GFS vs. NAM... such vast differences with the energy over ND... and even TN.. NAM just looks plain messy.

GFS is a smashing storm here but 5h is far from an ideal position, same with 7.

700 actually argues for a dry slot here....

Red flags raised there for substantial amounts

Red flag for over 1', but I'd call 6-12" in April "substantial"...even up there.

Verbatim it's so close there, but I figured the lift might be just enough to help him out..at least for 6-8 hrs. But there can't be a tick west.

If there is ever ANY doubt, whatsoever, Ryan will defer to Dr death.

Alot of the disagreements on here are more attributable to perceptions, than actual data.

It was like rotating fast and throwing stuff up.

Just took a look at a couple locations for tomorrow... on twisterdata for 06z GFS...

Looks like I warm aloft right after precip ends... pretty near perfect lol.

it's a power broom.

EURO is a near perfect surface track for here... 12+... 5h still goes overhead like the GFS.. 700 is much better than GFS.. the dryslot knocks on dryslut's (the member) doorstep but never gets here of IZG... verbatim looks pretty intense here with probably big time banding for the mtns.. as BOX noted awesome cooling wrapped down into SNE on the backside at 850mb.. pretty cool on the plots perfect comma.

One thought:

Not sure if John mentioned it yet, but going along with his sparse data fetish, the s/w responsible for the storm is just now being sampled, and most likely that is producing a more potent representation in the models. Meanwhile, the kicker s/w is still offshore, so it is not getting sampled as well, and is being under-represented. So this has resulted in less of a kicker to push the storm eastward. So a good idea would be to WAIT

I really don't see why everyone is jumping ship.. models have been terrible all year 48 hours out, why would they nail this one 48 hours out? Just think back to last storm for gods sake..what was that? A 100 mile shift 12 hours out with ALL models?

What we need Is a stop in the trend west in 12 of the gfs and globals..it has to at some point cause of the kicker is there and not going anywhere.. I'm not jumping until radar reaches CT

NAM still SE great sign IMO

Even with great dynamics this time of year you want everything 1 or 2 ticks colder than you would in January or February IMO.

Best CCB is out toward ALB, but there is a hellecious WCB that crushes interior SNE and even toward BOS.

Ekster's call of a sfc low over the canal was right. Looks like it tracks right over there. But it def tucked the 850 low enough to keep most areas from BOS and westward all or mostly snow.

Wish I could bump the posts I made in the two other threads. Over the Cape with the best snow NW CT, Will, Foothills of Maine has been my thoughts.

I noticed the low levels say near 950 are more of the issue there. It looks like a big isothermal layer near 0C or just a bit below for a while, but that's probably going to be lift dependent too. Based on the vv's progged, it looked like it might do the trick, but there isn't really wiggle room..maybe a few tenths of a degree C..lol. Eh, we'll see. I already got asked about HFD. I said the one thing that is clear is that we won't have freezing rain..lol.
