The one thing that stands out to me is the instability spike...occurs right when the strongest low level moisture advects in. Seeing a major instability spike like that tells me there will be some intense lift just ahead of the front which the models won't pick up on unfortunately.

Another thing that stands out is the actual instability gradient that will be in place between central and eastern sections...another area where lift will be enhanced.

I wish it was during the day as well.

What's going on??? How often do you see -30 to -40C at 500mb here and -20 to -30C at 700mb here? That is pretty crazy...especially when sfc temps will be in the 30s to near 40 in plaaces.

Thanks Steve,

Eye is now swollen shut. Lots of stinging pain haha. Went to do a cork 900 and at about 720 I saw the ground and knew I was in for a slam. People screamed and I just looked up and gave the devil horns with a bloody face haha. Lift is right over the jump.

What I meant to do

What happened..

Looks like you're pretending to keep that eye shut. Can tell by the wrinkles on your forehead

That is why this is your best source of wx info bro.We have time to dig deep. If these soundings stay as they are tomorrow you might see a change in your P&C fetish.

Lol...no, but it should be kept on topic about the windex potential tomorrow night.

I agree...how often do we see TTs in the 60s here with mlvl lapse rates near 9 c/km? I'm literally in awe over that...you never see that here...even 5/31/98 and 6/1 wasn't like that.

I hope Ekster gives some thoughts on this.

You can get those lapse rates in the winter sometimes. Lapse rates are simply the rate at which temp decreases as you go up into the atmosphere. In the winter, you can have steep lapse rates...it's just that the overall atmosphere is colder.

Really? I stand corrected...I never look at those much in winter...I'm a poop

Well I've never seen them this steep, but you can get them in WINDEX deals, and even near dryslots in storms.

Interesting. Remember the windex last winter? Was like november or something...there was hail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What we're lapse rates in mid levels? That's when I had no cpu

Depends on the NWS office... I think you guys in the Berks have a solid chance at a 2-3" snowfall.

Not quite sure why the NAM disintegrates the squall line as it moves east toward New England. Column looks pretty moist. Regardless, these are the type of things that can get pretty wild here in the Berks as these lines get orographically enhanced sometimes as they pass through. I remember some wild ones from January 2004 with some of those arctic FROPAs that put down a flash 3-4" of fluff snow in an hour. They were a nice break from the monotony of that cold, dry period. Could get fun here tomorrow night.
