BostonWX Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It was actually snowing pretty good in Back Bay around 730. Coming back down the expressway the snow increased in intensity around exit 13. Looks like flurries downtown at the moment. The Neponset seems to be the dividing line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nah, non event because NAM and RPM showed nothing. A nice lesson to use good meteorology and look at other parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice 4 hour forecast by the NAM in SE MA from 18z. wasn't it pretty well forecast that one would happen, but the exact location. Was unsure?

ravensrule Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yep. And epic fail on the 18z NAM. So you mean I should not expect my weenie wet dream run from the 84 hr 18Z NAM to come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although it was pretty close - maybe 35 miles west?) And I don't mean the NAM... Well we felt that there would be one...but earlier today some people cancelled the event because the NAM and RPM showed nothing at all for anyone. They weren't believable solutions based on the other stuff. QPF fetish would get you in trouble on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nah, non event because NAM and RPM showed nothing. A nice lesson to use good meteorology and look at other parameters. To be fair I did say T-2 region wide... With up to 3/4 on the cape. It was alarming that both models showed absolutely nothing though...

CoastalWx Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This is going to be one of the worst short term Busts I've ever seen from the NAM. Piece of sh*t model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 take a look at 20z HRRR best radar returns 5-8pm have matched very well with areas of best 700mb VVs at 0z: if true, the best is over for Boston metro... next few hours will have best returns generally over Plymouth county and south coast 03z: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Dusting for south Plymouth. 2-4" W of the river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garbage They are very hard to forecast for sure, but with such good lift Progged, that was good enough for me. There was vertical development in the clouds this morning so instability is there. The fact that we saw light snow this morning from meager lift was all I needed to see for se ma. I can't say why there was no QPF but models sometimes suck with handling of mid level forcing. Also exact convergence was not totally agrees in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
