CT Rain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah BDL and the valley is covered great by OKX..but my area is in no man's land...Very often I find myself using both BOX and OKX. OKX shows snowfall better for some reason..Esp those events where it's snowing here and Ryan accuses me of lying because nothing is showing up on BOX We should definitely go with the higher one!

CT Rain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am going to do a photo radar comparison first good storm, change my tilt and everything, compare apples to apples. The other thing is that the beam width widens the farther from the site you get so the resolution is a bit more coarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yep, good point. Bottom line is use the radar that's closest to you. It makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Bottom line is use the radar that's closest to you. It makes a big difference. But it's more fun to use the one showing strongest echoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 But it's more fun to use the one showing strongest echoes. Why look at 2500 feet and watch snow get sublimated when you can look at 8kft!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Dry air eating at the echoes....not much in the way of higher pwats coming into play. The stuff near NYC may develop and blossom a bit this morning and this aftn. Best mid level frontogenesis heading into VT right now with those echoes in ern NY state.

What I'm watching is a batch of low level congernce from NYC through OXC. You can see the easterly winds ripping easterly BDR/HVN on the warm side of that boundary. There's also a pretty clear warm front that blew past JFK with winds veering and dew points spiking. Where those 2 areas intersect (over the City) you're getting a fun batch of convection.

I think that, and also some better WAA will probably blossom echoes a bit. It might not be a widespread deal, so I could see an area in between that low level stuff and the better mid level forcing, that gets possibly porked.

Mr Torchey Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Steady moderate rain 65 Penfield was angry this morning, hopefully the east swell keeps building for some low tide fun this afternoon. So happy to see this weekend is turning out just fine down here, some sun, slight chance of a shower and highs in the low 70s, apple picking FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Flood Advisory for Fairfield County through 11 a.m. In other news, SPC has a 2% tornado probability for southern CT. Surprised we haven't had any weenie comments on that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Sunday has big bust potential...could be a slug of rain in eastern areas as something tries to get going on the far eastern periphery of the ULLdropping south. However, if it doesn't get going enough...then it could be breaks in the clouds and a fairly nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nice difference in appeal between northern Mass and southern CT/RI. I left my pad, it was about 48 with light strata rains. as i got south the temps bounced into the mid 50s here at the office, and come to find it's at 60 in those southern areas. this is the first example of cold wedging of the season, and should be rejoiced. we've noted in the past on several occasions, that the frequency for various weather types during ensuing cold seasons tends to begin expressing earlier in autumn. not always of course.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 bah! was gonna run some errands but don't think I'm gonna beat that swath of heavier rain moving in.
