December 14/15 winter storm threat part II


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

While I've been focusing on talking about the first southern stream s/w (located over IN and OH), its just setting the show for the amplification that will continue with the second s/w (which you can see back in TX/AR). This is already producing some impressive convection over FL, GA, and AL with a decent stratiform shield. Its this second s/w that will probably contribute the most to robust secondary cyclogenesis, while the first s/w is primarily contributing to the current mslp minima in the Ohio Valley. 

 

Another thing to look out for is how much the convection develops and moves offshore, as some of this could cutoff the moisture fluxes into the northeast tonight if its significantly stronger than forecasted. Just highlighting some things to lookout for.

The models have trended so far north that even York County Maine is at risk for a sub freezing mix..  Sweet spots now appears to be northwest of KORE to KCON to KLEW to KBGR.  If the trend continues even those spots could see mix.  The trend is your friend.

I 2nd that.

 

You've come a long way and really grown over the course of the past couple of years....not to go off topic, but it's very evident in your writing, and by the way that you carry yourself, ie your overall demeanor.

Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks!  I owe alot to this place...it's been my Bible

I wouldn't be all too worried if I were you...I know it sucks to flip over but I would think by the time that happens, the majority of the QPF has fallen.  

 

In a way, having a bit further NW track isn't necessarily a bad thing either.  It sucks b/c it will have a negative impact on snowgrowth/ratios but with a stronger push of WAA and a tighter thermal profile, it leads to increased QPF output and is also going to make for some really awesome banding and pretty hefty snowfall rates.  I bet someone will close in on 3'' per hour snowfall rates during the height.

Maine isn't Tolland though the roads are usually pretty well done and the people there can drive. Be a fun morning of skiing and would avoid the frustration of the fast flip here

 

When I lived up there, I could never keep track of how many cars would drive off 295 and Rt 2.

 

OT but I'm not kidding, a big fat squirrel crawled out from under my deck, came up on the deck looked at me and behind the sliding glass door and I swear the bastard winked.

 

LOL

 

Wiz, I admire your work in acquiring knowledge. Great job and thanks for your thoughts!

 

Agree on that, Paul.  I'm still waiting for you to post something like "wow, look at the instability right over mpm's hourse.....he's in for some insane thunder snow.  He should take cover".  :)

 

7.8/1

Not up there.

Yeah this is no different from other guidance. 2m stay less than 0C here (it will anyways even if guidance warmed me) and the 0C 850 line briefly makes a visit when the dryslot comes through. We will thump snow until the end and then maybe add a trace or hundredth of ZL.
