February 8th Potential Bomb Part II

have you read the posts? yes we understand that when the 850 line and freezing line are north of you, that equates to liquid precip. The argument is that under the CCB all bets are off. We've seen this NUMEROUS times even in the past 4-5 years.

 

Oh please, we've had storms where it's rained on the back end.

:axe: I give up. You guys need to realize not all of the CCB precip will be falling as snow. It's only snow from hour 54 onwards, all precip that falls UNTIL hour 54 on the GFS is rain.

If the synoptics and dynamics of the GFS verified, i would bet a significant amount of money that your premise in the post above would be wrong.

Hey guys before you blow your loads,at hour 51 the precip over our area is RAIN!

Keep in mind that very strong 850 hPa low over upstate new york won't be giving up easily, there will be a lot of midlevel warm air to deal with, and BL temps will be horrible.

It doesn't matter what the GFS says the primary will do because it holds onto it too long as it is a known doucmented bias in coastal transfer scenarios. The CCB is overhead 54-60 and the GFS's inability to detect dynamics under the CCB due to it's resolution limitations means the thermal profile is way too warm. It is all snow in those 6 hours without question.

It is in the process of changing over and probably snowing under the deform band with dramatic dynamic cooling ongoing as the mid level lows offshore take over.

And then it's heavy snow for a good period after that.

 

i draw the R/S transition line exactly at hour 54. Everything after that is snow. I wanna see the 24 hour precip map from h54-h80 before I call this a 1 foot+ event.

You're assuming a model with the resolution of the GFS can accurately depict the dynamic cooling process in a cold conveyor belt deformation band. We've seen in the past that it often can't.

This is the Euro from last night but 1 to 1.5 degrees warmer in the column from 800-925 hPa. Ill take the Euro thermals any day.

Looks like HM agrees with Dsnowx53's sediments and others regarding that convection near the Gulf. Per HM in the Philly thread:

There is still potential we go from crappy mixing / rain to a full-fledged comma head-induced snowfall with near blizzard conditions, even into PHL. The most likely areas of course have been highlighted perfectly by Mt Holly. I have to run now but I'm looking forward to the 00z suite. Let the convection roar across the Gulf / Southeast States.

Yea...No way in hell that is rain..

i dont know if the gfs is right, but if that ccb happens as depicted,i would bet a lot of money that it will be snow.    regardless, the gfs result verbatim is pretty damn good for the area

I wouldn't "congratulate" anyone except eastern New England yet, lol.

 

The phase still is a little later than I would like and results in it being too warm. I'd really like to see the 500mb close off south of us. But for sure, most of us would get annihilated anyway by backlashing snow.

 

 

This is still really, really good. And I really think that pretty much the entire area is snow from 51 hours and after, based on the dynamics and synoptics that are being shown.
