powderfreak Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wish we had this pattern in winter ... Looks like a solid overrunning event on Sunday and possible Miller B development ... all of which will produce zero snow for SNE. Are you still at Plymouth? You may be able to see something over the next week there, along with the rest of NNE...but I know you focus on SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Right..lol. Is that the KFS weeklies? In addition to the KFS, we are now running the 18z GFS out of a basement in West Chesterfield. LOL... leave it to the GFS for some interesting solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nice,,That means 70's to near 80 as we enter first 2 weeks of May as normals then are around 70 Amazing how we've escaped another season with little to no backdoors. this is like the 3rd or 4th spring season in a row like that We can get backdoors that are brutal through June.

Yep, I'm in Plymouth for four more weeks ...time flying Definitely possible we see a few flakes in this set up. On another subject, Friday and Saturday look really breezy for a lot of New England. Strong CAA with the sun coming out and a deep mixed boundary layer developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Wow talk about a warm front... dew points had been in the 33-36F range in this area through late morning...and now we have a Td of 55F! It feels downright humid outside all the sudden. Even 2,200ft has a dew point now of 50F. That's an airmass that we haven't seen in a while. Completely different than this morning. The local ASOS at MVL (730ft) has gone from 37/35 this morning to 57/55 this evening! The temperature change isn't anything special but not too often we see dews go up by 20F during the day.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nice rise on all rivers in the state except for the downslope areas of Tolland county. Yeah ...maybe we can get them "up" to normal capacitance? Seriously, this rain will not be enough to alleviate the drought. It may take the region down to D1 from D2 status - if we don't abut this with more action, we are still in deficit. ...and on the wrong side of the warm season.

Great rains down here 3-4 inches in many spots.

Ginx snewx Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah, my wife was whining about the cold at my son's first game tonight... ...meh, he has played in sleet before Totally amazed at the transformation of my Grandson from 9-10. He totally gets it now, backhanded a ball in the gap, spun and threw a bullet strike to second to nail the runner. He also got hit in the helmet by a fastball but the next at bat stroked a long fly to right. Last year he was bailing out every pitch and unsure of the game. Cold baseball is the norm for New England natives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The ECMWF snow maps show accumulating snow across NY State to GC and ORH. May 9, 1977 redux 10 days early maybe?

Mr Torchey Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Another sun drenched morning, mother nature really showing off her colors now as leaf out has begun a full 6 weeks after TrailMIx said it was complete. So looking forward to some normal weather, this torch has been absolutely relentless and allows me to catch up on things that I would normally do just before and during the week of Mothers Day. Stunning morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nice discussion regarding upcoming frost/freezes and how the warning system may mislead... disregard the headlines and watch the temperatures! From BTV: If enough clearing skies...looking at teens/20s across good portion of forecast area which is not good considering the advanced stage of perennial fruit trees, et cetera. The frost/freeze program begins Wednesday morning for chmpl and St lwrnc valleys but still climatologically too early for rest of forecast area. Thus the potential of frost/freeze headlines for chmpl valley/St lwrnc valley yet no headlines for colder areas. I/ve said it once..I/ve said it a hundred times...ignore the headlines and watch the temperatures and if they/re expected to be sub-freezing then take action!!! Anthr short wave rotates adr the eastern Quebec/maritime system on Sat night/sun while in the Ohio River valley a disturbance develops and moves along the leftover frontal boundary from Thursday system. Models have been rather consistent on keeping the main system S of forecast area...the question is how far is the northern extent. At this time...it looks like eastern Quebec short wave rotates in time to push/keep system from impacting forecast area but replenish or maintain colder air thus perhaps more sun-freezing min T sun and Monday morning. Beginning/ending frost/freeze program is always problematic due to different climate regions across County Warning Area. It will actually be colder in interior Vermont and northern New York yet due to the start of the program being may 5th and may 15th there would be no headlines. Headlines or not...if temperatures get into the 20s/l30s protection of any crops/plants need to be taken. Apple Orchards and wine vineyards are at a susceptible point with temperatures in the m20s possibly causing devastating effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
