East Coast winter storm, February 13th-14th, imminent (Part II)


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

To SnowNH, your post is gone, but like Will and Scott were saying if the ml lows (especially 700mb) are over or west of us like the Euro it'll be a relative meh-fest after the initial omega thump. If the 0z Euro caves then I'll buy it but otherwise I'm kinda on the fence.

They have also said the models are likely too warm. Especially north of orh.

Here is an illustration of our points..myself and Will. 

 

This is the GFS notice the lift near and NW of 700mb low. There is also lift to the east as the mid levels close off, increased and inflow and colder air aloft moves in. You want this H7 low to deepen and pass SE of your locale. The GFS is mighty close with this.

 At the same time there is some warmth, especially further east near the low center. A futher east track would allow incredible lift to coo the column and wipe out any existing wamrth. This actually happens near ORH and SW NH and near HFD for a time.

I just saw him too...pull the shades.

 

But like I said it's all probably moot in a few hours there's so much model motion. 

 

 

Yeah I can imagine some 11pm forecasts shifting quite a bit depending on what early returns are on the 00z suite. The 12z Euro was pretty cold actually so if the 00z NAM/GFS/RGEM/Ukie come in colder right before those 11pm newscasts, I can imagine some upped totals further southeast. Not to mention any shift in the CCB backlash.

Dude, you are getting absolutely buried. I cannot believe you still doubt that.

So are you guys, but a lot of you are being cautious. You all get slammed on the front end. Absolutely smoked.

If the CCB ends up in the ORH hills and not ALB, then we don't get slammed. We don't have the front end thump you guys have. It's not about believing one or the other, it's just musing that this system has a lot of tricks and isn't a slam dunk for anyone.

Read what Dendrite said in regards to omega and the lift and the fact you will be puking dendrites. You will be cold too. We have to deal with the warmth. Big diff. This is a great NNE storm.

BOS sucks to forecast...east wind is definitely going to create havoc. Part of me thinks to lean conservative too...but we'll see what 00z runs do.

 

Actually ... the wind is only 08 for the first six hours, then goes to 03 ...backing then NW in time

24052999569 16314 120829 42019999
30072988369 -0701 960331 50020304 
36020989561 05901 870322 48010501
42030988824 -1211 833024 36009596
48006764208 00007 922725 31009895 

if it's any help ...  It's been pretty consistent in the NAM's FRH grid... Course, this doesn't atone for the other models.

Right, the initial east pulse mucks things up a bit, but the idea is that you want the thump to come in as the happens and then backs NE.

One of the more brutal forecasts I can recall for Boston to PVD.  If you go really low you're either a hero or zero in 36 hours, if you go really high the same.  If you're in the middle nobody will remember how you did anyway.

 

I doubt Boston is 1-3, it's an all or nothing thing though.  Horrible for all of you to pull the trigger.  A 2" forecast could turn into 12" without much of a change, and a 12" forecast likewise could yield 1".

OK so My consistent holding of 8-12 as payed off as my Point and Click is now 8-13 Total.  

 

 

NOW - Have you guys EVER seen EITHER of these - 

 

1. The Absolute Rainbow of the NWS BOX 8" chances over RI.  10 miles either way I go form 3 to 12 inches.

2. The WEIRD WSW vs. WWAdvisory in Rhode Island for NWS BOX!  To See All of Southern RI in the WSW but Not the region of PVD shows what..... too much cutting of trees and concrete (Hate that)?  Usually that line would continue down of course.

Well the 18Z GFS was east of PF with the good stuff. I won't trust the 18Z GFS yet though...the EC has been fairly consistent. If 00Z comes east like the GFS then he may have to jump off a chair lift.
