powderfreak Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 classic post-frontal torch. i've been waiting for today since wed or thur of last week. What's the deal with torching in EMA after the front? NW winds not coming off the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 BDL had a tough to warming last hour. 65 at 9A. Yeah weird to have BDL cooler than ORH post-frontal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 The warming will probably slow near or just after noon time as temps aloft cool, so it's not like temps will be 90 or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 warmer 850s to the east, it's interesting though how temperatures are all over the place. DXR dropped a degree last hour. watch for eastern CT, RI and eastern MA to torch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What's the deal with torching in EMA after the front? NW winds not coming off the water? yeah combo of things...doesn't always work out...but when it times out like this there tends to be a lag in the arrival of cooler air for starters...so the weak CAA aloft is offset, NW flow downslopes to the coastal plain, good mixing and good launching pad from the previous day's warmth...and obviously keeping marine taint offshore.

moneypitmike Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There's going to be a big spread in aftn temps between GC and lower areas of ern MA..probably BDL too. Already setting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Already setting up. Yeah I shouldn't have opened my mouth up before looking more closely because after doing so, it appears you'll be under 70. So congrats, but still above normal in murderous GC.

Quincy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Snow has made it's way back into the forecast from Saturday night through Monday...hmmm. It's just a chance of rain or snow, but I'm surprised it got put in there even down below 1000ft. EC has some snow in the extended! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clown ones are absurd, too Clown maps can actually be useful if you know what your doing. They might show things like tight gradients or elevations bullseyes to further boost confidence in a forecast. I know this winter, some of the clown maps were extremely "meh" on snow potential and when that happens...time to move past the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this winter, some of the clown maps were extremely "meh" on snow potential and when that happens...time to move past the event. I def. do not know what I am doing. What I sort of do, with some of the clown maps, is take what they show and divide by three, then keep my weenie crossed. That sort of hurts ya know. And I agree when the clown maps look putrid, time to move on. We did that a lot this season. I'm surprised no one has started a post mortem on Wonter 2011-2012 yet. Still holding out on the bookend I suppose...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
