Ginx snewx Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 18z NAM initialized with 2m temps near Ray of about 34F. 32F at ORH. I guess being off 6F at both sites is better than being off 8-10F. Brian and you yelled at me for saying that last time, ha but in that case you guys were right, that was a radiational night.

Temps are slightly colder than I thought...I had figured like 28-29F right now here with flirting with freezing in the interior CP...but about 3-4F colder than that. But I can't say I'm surprised. We said countless times to watch out for the cold drain from Maine with that high position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Always Sunny Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Dedham has a mix of rain and sleet right now with fog...kind of crappy to say the least. I don't see it turning back at this point especially with H85 temps increasing and winds turning south eventually. Oh well I'm looking forward to the system a few days before Christmas...should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 lol... MPM wasn't even close on most of that. Phone ftl. Heading out of northboro shortly. Pit temp skyrocketed to 25.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't see any surprises though. The CF is about where I thought and temps are pretty much what I figured. Yeah as Will was saying its pretty textbook for the area N and W of BOS. Was someone posting that there wouldn't be ice? I wish the antecedent airmass were better as this would end up as several days of wintry weather. Tonight would have been a classic set-up even here.

But I can't say I'm surprised. We said countless times to watch out for the cold drain from Maine with that high position. Yeah I mean more like BOS being 28 or ORH being 19. Sort of what we were saying..but those typical things like being a couple of ticks cooler seem to happen as you said. But I agree with you, with that weak reflection scooting east and such cold dense air to the north, any little pressure fall will keep the ageo flow from the northeast. Pretty cool stuff for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I understand why, but its still tough to watch a halfway decent lp track on the 18znam and have the cold so far away, I suppose its trending nicer for ski country though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 You can tell there is a good dewpoint drain ongoing when the temp keeps falling and the dew isn't rising as much as it should. I've dumped down to 25F here now. Originally I was at 28/20 and now its 25/22. Usually the dew should rise about 2/3rds of the way to the sfc temp while the temp falls the other 1/3rd to meet at saturation...that's the very rough way to estimate it.

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I wonder what Kevin has going. He should still be below freezing I'd think. I don't think he can hold on to it for too long but at least he has some wintry precip to get him off the ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he can hold on to it for too long but at least he has some wintry precip to get him off the ledge. Getting back to your original post, it is a waste of a good high. If the airmass aloft could be a few ticks colder, it would be a 32F snow. I thought I could grab a little 34F snow, but I was too optimistic.

It's 30.9F here just to his south with freezing drizzle and a slight ice glace is starting to form on colder surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
