CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Expect this to go back warmer aqnd wetter farther north..No snow south of SNH at least.. I think that is the risk..a little more like the 18z GFS op, but just speculating. If the GFS had better lift, it would be a few inches of snow even for Will.

CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If that low is a little stronger tomorrow, it may be enough to have a more NAM like solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GFS had better lift, it would be a few inches of snow even for Will. In the end I think even Socks is going to be almost all rain. No reason why this has/would trend cold..only warmer and wetter from here on out. I'd expect that trend to continue tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a normal winter it would bother..but this year I don't care. That said..I don't see any chance of Will getting snow..None Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 15z sref selected stations snow probs for 1"/2"/4"/8" fwiw. ORH 45/37/18/0 BOS 37/26/7/0 CON 93/84/66/9 MHT 81/71/44/5 Looking at the individual sref members it looks like the further southern solution of the 15z srefs is being skewed by 3 members.

CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Scott...storm where nw ct may pick up a little while e ct sucks or totally lat dependent? NW CT could pick up a bit, but it depends on the storm track. Probably may have an idea after the 00z runs come in. There would be some latitude dependency with this too. I could see the models hold serve and I would also not be surprised if they ticked NW a bit. I don't care for my personal reasons, but hopefully the interior can cash in. If this were to have a real good front end thump...even a GFS depiction would give snow to ORH. But, that will also depend on lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This is a sneaky dry polar airmass that settles over the region behind the low that strengthens to our northeast tomorrow. I could def see some snow on the front end...probably not more than an inch or two...but there is def a risk of omega-thumping for a few hours ala Jan 12th...I also think there is risk for several hours of icing for N ORH county and Socks' area.

weatherMA Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Pete B wrote in his blog he thought 1-3" for N ORH and S NH. Gutner on wbz said a coating to an inch in elevated areas. Didn't see Harvey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about that one at the gym earlier today...similar timing to this one too, it was supposed to just be like an inch tops I think, and flip to rain by 6-7am, I went to school, and we ripped parachute flakes off and on until almost 10 I think. Let's make that happen. I ended with around 3", tied for third highest total for met winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Will and I were talking earlier...if you can get good lift in here, it's wetbulb city and dynamic cooling like the NAM and SREFs show. This isn't a monumental task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make that happen. I ended with around 3", tied for third highest total for met winter. A lot will depend on the lift like Scott said...if we have a stronger system bombing to our northeast then that will drive the boundary further south and give us a much better potential for good lift nosing right across our area...in a solution like the 18z GFS...it isn't as good with a more amped up primary low to the west which drives the best lift to our northwest and we are left with maybe an hour or two of snow to start before flipping...a stronger primary to the west not only makes it warmer in the mid-levels via advection...but also warmer because the lack of dynamical cooling with the best lift to our northwest. A weaker primary will shove the best lift further east and also lock in the low level cold better as well to where N ORH county might not get above freezing tomorrow afternoon....the Euro actually showed this potential for ZR....though it wasn't the greatest for snow potential...maybe an inch or two.

I assume you mean Friday. But yeah, at this point I'd take an inch or two, not sure I'd be awake for this storm though as it seems to be trending to a 6z start time. I believe the 12z nam showed zr too, on the sounding is actually showed .27 accumulated rain with temps <32F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Tonight's event is just getting started... -RN at 38F here at 800ft but was just up at 1,500ft and its 36F with a mix of rain and snow. 4,000ft is 26F so its all snow up on the mountain. Good moisture train all the way back to the Great Lakes. It could be ripping for a bit tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Buffalo is now 32F with steady snow (3/4sm vis)... Adirondacks getting lit up, too.

No reason why this has/would trend cold..only warmer and wetter from here on out. I'd expect that trend to continue tonight Thanks for the great analysis once again. There was no reason for the last storm to trend weaker and SE last storm with the +NAO. Can't wait until I'm ripping SN and you're RA! Wow, id have to go out on a very thick limb, more like a tree with an extra trunk and say that that 66% chance of 8" in concord might be slightly on the generous side as much as id love to see it lol. Dude its 66% of 4", but good try. I don't see much if any snow south of the NH/MA border with either event. JMHO. I think the r/s may even creep back into SNH as far up as where I'm staying but we will see. R/S line likely ends up somewhere between Plaistow and Plymouth NH. Thanks for going out on a limb there. Thats like saying the rain and snow line will be somewhere between the south coast and ORH... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
