Very true, no need to be bashing our NWS office (One of the best) over some very difficult R/S line forecasts. Our region is one of the most difficult areas in the country to predict these.

Concur - just look at the 07 November Nor'Easter - 12" in some parts of Jersey Coast (expecting less than an inch) I see the models and trust forecasters, But will always be wary of that element of surprise. - Plus it is just plain colder toward the end of Dec then early Nov - just sayin.... http://www.erh.noaa....s/11082012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SST's fifteen degrees cooler with a 5 - 10 mph easterly wind, March would be all snow in this setup. Might not stick too good with high sun angle but it would be snow. Just sayin'.

If one should develop, that's what gifted us in early Nov. I guess tomorrow and the last few events are pay back for Nov 7th CCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The 00z upwind soundings are very dry, no problem starting as snow. Staying as snow, well I'd like to buy some elevation Pat instead of a vowel. Model fcst vs actual soundings, upwind 925mb temps are verifying on average 2C too warm while 850s around 1C too warm. GFS 500 mb looks the best of the three and the EC or GFS look better at 250mb. Toss the nam out, if it ends up being right for the wrong reason so be it. Good luck everyone.

tombo82685 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 glad to hear the 925mb temps are verifying to warm. Hopefully it continues that way and the 95 and south and east crew can get into some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Like earlier NAMs appears a warm nose of air makes it into SE PA to somewhere near the PA turnpike, or a little further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I hope your interpretation is right! Yea, i wasn't sure how he worded that. He said verifying model forecast to sounding saying the model forecasts were 2 degrees warmer? I dunno, guess tony will have to log back on and clarify. But the elevation aspect makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 0z RAP BUFKIT for KPNE is literally all rain through 18z. 2 m temps are at 4.1 C and the freezing level is above 850 mb. Seems pretty suspect to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
