OSUmetstud Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It would depend on the antecedent airmass in the winter whether we'd get a lot of snow out of a system like this. The 850 low tracks between SE MA and ORH on most guidance so that is not favorable for all snow in eastern areas, but if the air mass started off cold, then it would probably be a lot of snow changing to sleet/ZR. If the air mass was more marginal, it would probably be mostly rain in eastern areas and a huge ice storm over the interior. Sfc low tracking over the Cape or SE MA would ensure some type of frozen over interior unless the airmass was brutally above climo for winter. there's very little blocking with low pressure over Canada I think it would just be a crummy SW flow event. Elevated northern areas would be okay but I don't see how it would be more than a few inches in most areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is a "spring training" event, we can presume that all favorable factors will fall into place in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 62/61, rain and more rain. I've been to 10 different stores trying to locate an air conditioner to get some relief from this unrelenting heat but there seem to be none left. Evidently this prolonged heat wave has caused a run on even fans. Gotta hand it to Kevin on this one. I thought he was full of sh*t when he said 70's and humid would be unbearable but here it is in the 60's and I can't seem to cool down. Wow, epic torch. jesus christ would you give it a rest already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Your radar delusions occur regardless of season apparently Your overhyping of modest rain events and turning them into life threatening helicopter rescues seems to be occuring as often as MRG makes posts about this summer being cold, and leaves already past peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Your overhyping of modest rain events and turning them into life threatening helicopter rescues seems to be occuring as often as it floods in SE CT A couple towns had some serious flash flooding last night. Other than that there hasn't been much as expected. You FTL (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Not a classic case, but a TROWAL on 700mb extending west into SNE. That's what allows those sheet rains to continue under low level ne flow. I don't know about those 6-7" that was mentioned earlier in ORH county, but a nice soaking rain so far. Periods of +RA at home as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 this would be a btv (and vicinity) destroyer. Yeah they are in the sweet spot for mid levels in this case. It's actually pretty nasty outside..probably 20-25kt gusts to go along with a 15kt east wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The winds really have picked up. how does this compare to last August 25? Well August 25th last year had more impressive totals over ern mass. I think this was more impressive over CT and RI this go around. MQE talied over 5" during the August storm last year.
