DISCUSSION...STRONG CYCLOGENESIS IS WELL UNDERWAY...WITH DEEPENING OF THE SURFACE LOW CENTER MIGRATING NORTHEAST OF THE CAROLINA COAST ON THE ORDER OF 2-3 MB PER HOUR SINCE MID MORNING. MOST GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT RAPID DEEPENING OF THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...AND BEYOND...AS IT MIGRATES INTO AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST BY 00-03Z. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRENGTHENING DEEP LAYER UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AND INTENSIFYING PRECIPITATION RATES ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC COASTAL AREAS AND NEW ENGLAND...WHERE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE GENERALLY BELOW FREEZING AND SUPPORTIVE OF SNOW. EVEN ACROSS MUCH OF LONG ISLAND...WHERE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE STILL IN THE MID 30S...AS THE LOW TRACKS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST...COLD ADVECTION SHOULD RESULT IN A CHANGEOVER OF RAIN TO SNOW DURING THE 21-00Z TIME FRAME. HEAVIEST SNOW RATES ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND CONNECTICUT THROUGH MUCH OF RHODE ISLAND AND A LARGE PORTION OF CENTRAL/EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...INCLUDING THE BOSTON METROPOLITAN AREA...BY AROUND 00Z. THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EVOLUTION OF DEFORMATION ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH A NEWLY FORMING AND DEEPENING MID-LEVEL LOW CENTER...AS LIFT INTENSIFIES IN THE LAYER WITH TEMPERATURES FAVORABLE FOR LARGE DENDRITIC ICE CRYSTAL GROWTH. SUPPORTED BY PRECIPITABLE WATER ON THE ORDER OF .5 TO .75 INCHES...MAXIMUM SNOW RATES PROBABLY WILL EXCEED 1 INCH PER HOUR...PERHAPS APPROACHING 2 INCHES PER HOUR IN SHORTER-LIVED CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED BURSTS.

Damage In Tolland Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Even northern CT is now included in the warning... going with 4-8'' of snowfall. I went with 4-6'' for much of the state with 5-9'' in the NE corner of the state. There are going to be some nice totals within where the heaviest banding sets up. In fact, Kevin may actually be in the prime zone. Prob Windham for jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
