weathafella Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Incidentally I paid attention to the sensors as we descended. H85 pretty close to 0C. were do you see those? In this case Virgin America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I just wish it was Feb, the Meteorology on this event was totally fascinating, as the pieces evolved, whether it was the Tstorm complex from DC congealing into a deform band or the pivoting near SW CT, pretty educational and neat stuff. Man OKX bailed early and got burned a little. yeah it was cool. definitely neat to watch that system move offshore and just blow up the precip. kinda knew that one was coming too which made it more fun. especially with some posters saying we might escape this whole thing with like .3" of rain. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I wonder what 850 temps got down to in SE MA...looks like they could have been as low as like +2 or +3. Nasty stuff for mid-June. Really the coolest thing to watch in this system was to see the mid-level processes take over after they had been thwarted earlier yesterday by the MCS...once that got out of the way, we still had a potent mid-level system to our west with the sfc low still SW as well...so everything came together like a developing winter storm.

Really wild system to watch unfold in June. One of the crazier instances to watch convection alter the outcome of a mid-lat cyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Same here. I must say that I have a tinge of jealousy for all the rain in SNE. Only if it would have been snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man OKX bailed early and got burned a little. We wouldn't have had the MCS in Feb however. Yeah, interesting system-OKX dropped the flood watches only to have torrential rains develop several hours later-we got most of our rain in a 2 hr period.

MainePhotog Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Only if it would have been snow If all of that rain would have been snow down there, in mid June of all months, and I had been left smoking cirrus, you would see the local TV stations reporting on a man on top of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge leaning in the direction of total doom.

Cold Miser Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 JetBlue (and a another airline or two) has a monitor on the seatback in front of you that lists cool stuff like outside temp and altitude and where geographically you are. Yeah, I love seeing that. I had that on my flight from Boston to Seattle. Bottom line, it's freaking COLD at those altitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Not even close in the rain dept though. Depends on one's location, as the heavier rains of 2009 were in NNE. After zero precip June 1-8, 2009, we had measurable rain on 18 of the last 22 days, totaling 9.76". High temp for the month was 77, only June of 16 here that never reached 80. Then July had 24 days with measurable, and its only day at 80+ was the 82 on 7/29. Gardening (or timber harvesting) was futile that summer.

ORH_wxman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 MOS tries to get it to 70F later this afternoon...that wouldn't be a bad rebound from this morning. We'll have to watch for self-destructing sunshine with showers (and maybe a rumble of thunder) later on this afternoon as the heart of the 5H trough moves overhead.

tamarack Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 or 2006 " If you think all this rain must have set some sort of record, it has. As of 8 p.m. yesterday, Boston had seen 22.26 inches of rainfall in May and June, the most in a two-month period since record keeping started in 1872." Where in Boston? Just looked at Logan data, and they were at 8.14" for June, which included 1.47" from the current storm so they might be in the 9" range by now. However, they had only about 3.2" in May, which would appear to give a May-June total 10" less than the above quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 MCS happen in winter quite frequently when warm moist air flows out of the GOM, some of the most violent weather has occurred in February Yes they do happen in winter but it wouldn't have been like yesterday where it was just SE of LI completely mucking up the system early on. That's rare in winter. They have their largest effect in winter by perhaps pumping up heights in the SE or if the storm is trying to make a sharp left turn up the coast...it can muck that up somewhat by redeveloping things further east. Probably the closest thing I remember in winter is Feb 28-Mar 1, 2005 where an MCS-type feature tracked over LI and then SE MA giving SE MA extremely heavy snowfall and it ended up robbing the interior of heavier totals. It wasn't as obvious as yesterday though, and that one happened pretty late in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it can happen down in FL or GA but that doesn't have nearly the impact on us as an MCS tickling Long Island when it comes to mucking up advective processes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
