That is 100 times better than the 50's and rain that was being tossed around for this over the weekend

 

How is rain and 70F that much better than rain at 58F? 

 

You still can't do anything outside... I don't think it really matters to anyone what the temperature is if its raining.  Aside from spinning it to being a humid rainstorm that you are fine with, other than a slightly less humid rainstorm which apparently would be the worst thing in the world lol.

ecmwf.int offers the 500mb and 850 maps for free. They don't have the height anomalies though which is a bummer.

 

 

on their website and other places. I am not alone in thinking all this. I just saw there is an OT topic on it. Apprently no mods knew about it. The times they are a changin. But if you look around you can find all model data free, just know where to look after 23 years of doing it.

Thanks guys. It's too bad Alan has a paysite now. His graphics were very user-friendly, much more so than the ecmwf site. I guess I will just have to decide if it's worth subscribing.

glad I was not the only one thinking about.. rain is rain..sure 50's rain is not as pleasant but you are screwed either way.

Yeah if its a rainy weekend... its a rainy weekend.

 

Its not like it becomes this really nice weekend all the sudden because the Td is 64F in rain rather than 55F.

LOl its a warmer rain, when you run out of your AC house into the AC car to go to the AC store you are warmer

I totally understand Allans need but let's look at it this way. When this place started many of us ponied up to help keep it afloat. He on his own developed a model sites that ran off of AMWX servers that we as a community purchased. He now has instant access to a devoted customer base. I guess if he wanted to run a Site that was pay per view I would not be running my mouth.

I hear you.

The idea is if its 50's and stratiform rain you are on cold side locked in raw NE Flow in summer. If its 72/70 it's muggy and there's probably breaks , peeks of sun and storms. One is much nicer than the other. ESP for those that have plans later in the day Saturday

 

Last night's ECM kept you in the 50s with rain, though you did moderate up into the 60s on Saturday with rain...while the Pike north stayed pretty much in the 50s.

 

Its a classic SWFE essentially... and ORH northward holds the cold better than CT.

 

But this isn't a "warm rain" yet... especially if that low passes anywhere near you or SE of you like the 00z ECMWF had (in this frame its just south of Long Island).

 

This is one of those cases in the winter where you'd be touting that there is no way you warm up with a low passing SE of you...no way at all.

This would be a toaster bath for Friday/Saturday...

 

The 12z GGEM has like a winter-looking SWFE though instead of tracking the 0C H85 line in the winter, we are tracking the 10C line, lol. 

 

It does seem to be a pattern this spring so far... we get some nice stretches of mild weather, but we've also had some very winter-like synoptic systems roll through as well (like the winter nor'easter last weekend).

This is no "showery" type stuff...this is just steady synoptic storm rain shield.

either way, you are eating your hotdog inside someone's garage vs being outside.

Euro may salvage dinner time on Saturday...though not sure people will exactly be playing horseshoes in their front yard with the amoutn fo rain that falls Friday and Saturday morning/midday. Sultan signal for heavy rain is there.

Euro is a disaster for Friday...Saturday is downpours but may try and quit late in the day.

 

Later Saturday afternoon/evening might end up ok....starting to mild up a little bit as the rain lifts north. 

 

But yeah looking pretty ugly from like noon Friday until at least early afternoon Saturday all over New England.

 

I'm not sold on those 65-70F dew points some are thinking.   Depends how far north that warm front gets.  Doubt it gets north of the Pike.

Its going to be tough to get 65-70F dewpoints when the ambient air temperature is below that. :lol:

Looking at the 12z operation Euro..  the 50,000 foot perspective is that it should transport some hefty theta-e up along the eastern Seaboard. 

 

It's not exactly a new idea, either, of foisting a GOM TC or hybrid type low ...rocketing it up the baroclinic axis, either as a transitioning wave or immediately astride the axis on the eastern side.  Either way, that type of transport usually brings a pocket of high latent heat N.   

 

Could be a DP spike as the low makes it's closest pass, and after several hours of [probably] sick rain rates.

has a bit of a "PRE" look too. verbatim it's dumping 4"+ on a big area. if that set-up verified...you could probably double that number in spots.

So are folks in error to think this thing brings relatively high dewpoint air of mid- upper 60's with it on strong SE flow on Saturday?

actually should correct that...it's 3"+ on a huge area...4+ confined to southern half of NH and looks like a little weenie 5" spot too.
