December 14/15 winter storm threat


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

How late do the mid levels redevelop....are eastern spots close for that....a la 12/21/08?

 

 

Yeah it might be close...esp if the late night trends continue today...but I'd probably hedge against it going nuts like that. There def could be some CF enhancement somewhere though. There's going to be a strong temp gradient where that sets up.

700mb low doesn't reform, it stays intact across the Great Lakes, so we have at least southerly flow to as low as 700mb, but the 850mb low may end up traveling to our southeast if trends continue keeping even the Cape and Martha's Vineyard all snow, but that is highly unlikely at this time.  Also models still showing some Ocean Effect Snows for Cape Cod, MA and Islands with southwesterly flow developing at the surface for Friday.

 

Also that shortwave entering the NW US is quite potent.

This is why I'm not worried about CNE/NNE. 20:1 ratios should be easy enough to pull off up this way.

 

These are pretty good probabilities for a deep DGZ at this range on the SREF.

IF this were to come to fruition, then .40 would be 7-8" of snow, correct? The kind of snow that you could clean your car off with a good sneeze.

I'm expecting 4-8"....6-10" if things break right.

The coastal front for this one is going to be so freakin awesome. Personally think I'm too close to 495 for the best of it. Would rather be Stoneham, Wilmington, Woburn. I think the boundary might sit over the city for awhile if the CAD is as good as advertised.

This is the most intriguing aspect for me...more than the 6" of snowfall...

Are those sref's updated or are they from the warmer more nw runs of earlier nam's.

Just think that area of sweet dentrite deliciousness may shift s on next sref package

It's the best part of living in Eastern Mass. You can have a whole snowstorm saved or ruined by it. It's a relative guessing game that can literally go down to the mile. Usually I am on the wrong end of things at home in Southie unless it is very cold. These interior locations almost can always cash in. Best example is Boxing Day Storm. Coastal Front pounded the areas of Boston while some others had crap snow rates and growth.

No it hasn't, they are still there across New England.

 

 

Its not as early as other GFS runs...the overrunning stuff doesn't start until midday or a bit later in eastern areas. This is probably correct because there is initial dry air to overcome and the system is a bit more consolidated on guidance than it was yesterday.

"..With this being a mainly snow event it becomes all about how much…early thoughts have most in a 3-6″ zone with 1-3″ expected over SE Mass (especially Cape & Islands)…there is also a chance for higher amounts NW of Boston (mainly outside of 495 of 6+”).  This will certainly be a plowable snow and for many the first of the season."
