Baroclinic Zone Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thought we should have a specific thread for the upcoming soaker. Looks like there could be some coastal flooding with the persistent onshore flow as well as some heavy rains. Discuss.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainePhotog Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Is this not heavy rains? Looks like 5" along the NH/ME border. Flood watches and coastal flood watches flying here in Maine.

Typhoon Tip Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not really sure I see this as a nor-easter but meh, either way, pounding in route. The NAM's 12z was pretty awesome. Really. Over 2" of rain with duration LIs below 0 the whole time? There could be some convective elements embedded in a large area of yellow-orange on rad that really lay down the law in a few locations. I was just looking at U.S. Drought Monitor and their latest numbers still have us in D2 conditions across much of the area, despite the cumulative rains over the last month. Maybe this will finally wipe that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Will have to watch the back end of the low and almost a comma head and coastal front induced arecof moderate rains in NE MA possibly into the BOS area. The models have been shifting around a bit with the heavy rain, but it looks like the Maine coast..NH coast and into the foothills get soaked. Otherwise lingering lighter almost ocean effect rains will persist and slowly rack up totals through Tuesday along coastal areas. Sunday night looks windy along the coast and maybe tide problems into Monday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Is this not heavy rains? Looks like 5" along the NH/ME border. A noreaster with southeast winds and the primary cutting over the Eastern lakes? It's an occluding triple point low that secondaries somewhere up near Cape ann and stalls. That's not a noreaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I guess the Sunday through Tuesday NE winds don't count? So that's what you'd call a noreaster? a storm that sits to our northeast and delivers ne wind and clouds inland with light rain along coast. Please check the definition of noreaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 2006 might analog but I haven't actually done the comparison. NAM's output in the Whites/ Merrimack head water region is shocking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check the definition of noreaster Look at a model first before speaking. The low sits SE of the Cape and stalls after primary cuts west and secondary forms. This is also for New England..not just SNE. Maine will get an all out nor'easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a noreaster. maybe it morphs into some pseudo noreaster..but it;s not a true noreaster. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... For all intents and purposes it's gusty NE winds Sunday aftn through Tuesday with rain and even coastal flooding. LOL, call it what you want I guess. Not all nor'easters have to be 980 lows at the benchmark. For this time of year, I'd say it qualifies as one..considering you'll be cloudy and cold into Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.

Typhoon Tip Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's not a blizzard of '78 storm, but for all intents and purposes..it's a nor'easter for most except CT. This storm is probably both actually. Fwiw, I feel the CCB presence should at a minimum be a requirement for any "Nor'easter" characteristic of a coastal storm. That's not the case at least through Sunday. It is not even clear to me that we can call this a coastal storm in that time, because too much of the kinematics are balled up into the GL along with a dominant surface reflection there. That said, there is a wave on the triple point that slowly does become dominant 24 to 36 hours after the main QPF is by the boards; that stacked structure then migrates/captures just SE of LI and we get the NE wind and lighter stuff Monday or thereabouts to annoy. Either way you cut it... the beautiful weather on the weekends era is about to end with a loud exclamation point! It may not be raining all of Saturday, and all of Sunday, but it's just not an out-doorsy vibe there by any stretch. And it will probably be down right ugly in the middle.

CoastalWx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Isn't it an open question as to how much actually falls southwest of 495 or even ORH ? Most of ORH and west rains come tomorrow, but they'll probably get periods of sheet rains with moist ENE upslope flow. I don't see that type of rain for you, but some signs of an inv trough in the interior along with a little daytime heating to possibly squeeze out some showers Tuesday and Wednesday.

HoarfrostHubb Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Sooo... not initially a coastal, but then it really develops and basically becomes a nor'easter for downeast ME Very cool looking on the models.

Yeah that's how I see it and the point of the thread. Sunday might be an in between day SW and W of BOS while north shore is wet, and then it gradually sinks SW Sunday Night and Monday.
