WeatherNC Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 What type of winds are we expecting west to east across nc? This is from wxbrad's facebook page... Shoot! I got some securing loose objects to do after work tomorrow... Long duration wind event could actually come Mon/Tues if the phase is realized and it occludes over the mid-atlantic/oh valley.

Cold Rain Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Venture to say we have a Cat 2 at the moment, mcp in the mid - low 960's, and still deepening at a good clip... Talked to one of our on air chief's here in the east this evening, trying to wrap our heads around all this. He was asking about where the transition would take place, I told him around 200 miles off HAT it should be well underway. I would guess by looking at the rapidly improving satellite presentation that it's a Cat 3 now. Very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Whoa someone go tell Sandy its the end of frickin Oct lol......Chris not sure about 50+ here would think it would have to be further west than most models have it...at least IMO the real question is how does her going ape**** tonight change if at all the way the models handle a small deep storm.

I was thinking the same thing...seemed odd to me. I'm wondering right now if this strengthening could be a game changer (as it kind of seems you're thinking). Don't read any specific meaning into that...I still don't know enough to venture a guess as to what it could mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 This setup is about as close of a setup to Hurricane Hazel with synoptics as one would ever see. Important to see what happens Friday evening off Florida. It was at that point that back in 1954 Hurricane Hazel leaned back NNW in track and was crossing the coast of NC with less than 12 hours warning. From reading historical accounts of Hazel, individuals in SENC did not know until as late as 300pm they would be dealing with a historic storm at sunrise the next morning http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/10/1014_041014_hurricane_hazel.html On October 14, Air Force Capt. William Harrell, a meteorologist, was aboard a B-29 bomber that had been assigned to investigate Hazel as the storm pounded northward near the Bahamas. Harrell, who had flown into several other hurricanes, was astonished by the way Hazel's winds were thrashing the sea. "Usually the ocean is blue or green with little cotton-white patches," Harrell later told United Press International. "But the hurricane eye was like a sheer white sheet as far as I could see. To me, this was truly a phenomenal sea. The force of the … wind was cutting the tops off all waves and making the ocean a continuous mass of whitecaps and frothing foam."

downeastnc Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 18z DGEX brings snow well down into NC Insane....if that were to pan out, it would pretty much set the earliest snow record for a lot of places in NC east of the mountains I would imagine. I cant recall it ever snowing before Halloween here in fact I think the earliest on record here is sometime around Nov 10-15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I dunno what is more ****ed up the fact that we are talking about a possible Hazel redux for NC or the earliest snowfall on record for a bunch of NC...or both????

WeatherNC Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 The DGEX mainframes obviously melted down @ 18z, I had to do a double take to verify this was inches, initial thought was cm, but yeah, 80+"... Iso, or close to him gets a 1' Oh the DGEX, WTF.

WxKnurd Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Wow, simply wow. Oh DGEX, you tease you. That would shatter snowfall records and be a season's worth of snow in many places if it verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading historical accounts of Hazel, individuals in SENC did not know until as late as 300pm they would be dealing with a historic storm at sunrise the next morning Ive read alot of those personal statements. If you ever have time its really neat to hear from people prespective how all that unfolded. Hazel was such a crushing blow due to its forward speed. The extropical factors come into play past our area and really put a licking on the lakes area and canada. Most everyone thought it would be heading OTS and it headed right on into Brunswick county.You would see the same thing with Sandy if it doesn;t make the NE veer coming out of the Bahamas like forecasted.

WeatherNC Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Seriously though, if Sandy is captured by the trough and occludes over PA I could see some sn squalls into southern VA and NC from about Mt. Airy to Hillsborough on Mon/Tues, that would lean towards a ECMWF solution, maybe take the over on pressure, 960-970 range vs something in the 950's which seems unrealistic at this point given the globals bias with cyclone pressures in the mid latitudes. Kind of reading around, the NOGAPS may actually be useful in this setup in that the math, albeit decades old, is better at handling the waves compared to the newer 4-dvar models which can suffer from parameterization issues in the cumulous fields during energy rich interactions.

buckeyefan1 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I love the DGEX. 100% never (at this stage) After Feb 2010, the DGEX will always hold a special place in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
