Baroclinic Zone Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Did not see if this was posted yet. 000FXUS61 KBOX 152137AFDBOXAREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA437 PM EST SAT FEB 15 2014.SYNOPSIS...A MAJOR WINTER STORM IS UNDERWAY FOR EASTERN NEW ENGLANDTONIGHT...ALONG WITH BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTSALONG THE COAST. SOME SNOW SHOWERS ON SUNDAY EVENING BUT COOL ANDDRY WEATHER INTO MONDAY. ANOTHER STORM IS POSSIBLE TUESDAY INTOTUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE REGION. AMILDER AND UNSETTLED PERIOD IS POSSIBLE FOR LATE NEXTWEEK...THOUGH TIMING IS UNCERTAIN.&&.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...***MAJOR WINTER STORM TO IMPACT EASTERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT******DANGEROUS BLIZZARD WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS/POWER OUTAGES ALONGPORTIONS OF THE EASTERN MA COAST/CAPE AND ISLANDS TONIGHT ANDTRAVEL IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED***OVERVIEW...A CLASSIC CASE OF BOMBOGENESIS IS ALREADY UNDER WAY OFF THENORTH CAROLINA COAST THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG SHORTWAVE ENERGYRESULTING IN LOW PRESSURE BECOMING A BOMB AS IT RACES NORTHEASTACROSS THE BENCHMARK OVERNIGHT.THE STORM UNDER GOING BOMBOGENESIS WAS ALREADY RESULTING IN STRONGFORCING FOR ASCENT. SNOW HAS OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE REGION ANDWAS BECOMING HEAVY ACROSS EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. THE EXCEPTION WASPORTIONS OF THE OUTER-CAPE/NANTUCKET WHERE IT WAS WARM ENOUGH FORSOME RAIN.AS THE MID LEVEL CENTERS RAPIDLY CLOSE OFF AN AREA OF EXTREMELYSTRONG DEFORMATION/FRONTOGENESIS WILL DEVELOP. THE 700 MB CLOSEDLOW SHOWS A CLASSIC BACK BENT WARM FRONT...WHICH ARE KNOWN TOPRODUCE EXTREMELY HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES JUST TO THE LEFT OF THATBOUNDARY. THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHERE DOES THIS MID LEVELDEFORMATION ZONE SETUP? THE NAM/RGEM CONFINE IT TOMAINLY SOUTHEAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR...WHILE THE GFS/UKMET/ECMWFBRING IT INTO CENTRAL MA AND EASTERN CT FOR A TIME. ITS A REALLYTRICKY SITUATION...AS THERE IS LIKELY TO BE SHARP DECREASE INSNOWFALL TO THE WEST OF THIS DEFORMATION REGION. BASED ON CURRENT RADARIMAGERY THOUGH...WERE GOING WITH THE MORE WESTERN AND AGGRESSIVESOLUTIONS. MODERATE SNOW IS ALREADY OCCURRING ACROSS CENTRAL MAAND EASTERN CT. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH WARNING LEVEL SNOW TO THEEAST OF A WILLIMANTIC...TO WORCESTER...TO FITCHBURG LINE. LATERSHIFTS MAY CERTAINLY HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ONRADAR/MESOSCALE MODEL TRENDS BUT FEEL THINGS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.WHAT WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT IS COASTAL MA...ESPECIALLYTHE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST. AS MID LEVEL CENTERS RAPIDLYCLOSE OFF ALL MODELS INDICATE STRONG FRONTOGENESIS WITH SOME -EPVJUST ABOUT THAT. IN FACT...SREF GRAPHICS WHICH TEND TO BECONSERVATIVE INDICATING DECENT PROBS FOR 3 INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALLRATES CLOSE AROUND 3Z TONIGHT. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEWLOCATIONS HAVE 4 INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES...ESPECIALLY ACROSSPLYMOUTH COUNTY AND THE UPPER CAPE. THERE CERTAINLY IS THEPOTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED THUNDER AS WELL.TIMING OF THE SNOW...SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME HEAVY ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEWENGLAND THROUGH EARLY EVENING...WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW ACROSSTHE WESTERN SECTIONS. THE WORST OF THE STORM WILL BE THROUGH 1 OR2 AM ACROSS EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. THAT IS WHEN WE EXPECT THEEXTREME SNOWFALL RATES PARTICULARLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND.MOST OF THE SNOW SHOULD EXIT THE COAST BY 3 OR 4 AM.PTYPE...MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TOSUPPORT SNOW FROM THE UPPER CAPE...POINTS NORTH AND WEST.HOWEVER...FROM EAST OF HYANNIS AND ESPECIALLY ACROSS NANTUCKETBOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF RAIN THROUGHEARLY EVENING. AS THE LOW BOMBS OUT THOUGH PRECIPITATION WILLQUICKLY CHANGE TO HEAVY WET SNOW EARLY THIS EVENING. THE RAIN WILLLIKELY CONTINUE LONGER ONTO NANTUCKET...BUT THEY TO SHOULD FLIP TOHEAVY SNOW BY MID TO LATE EVENING.SNOW AMOUNTS...THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS SHOULD BE IN PLYMOUTH COUNTY TO THE UPPER CAPEWITH THE EXTREME SNOWFALL RATES EXPECTED. ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 16INCHES ARE ANTICIPATED OVER A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME. PORTIONSOF THE SOUTHEAST OUTER-CAPE/NANTUCKET WILL SEE SOMEWHAT LESS AMOUNTSGIVEN THE RAIN AT THE ONSET...BUT STILL EXPECT 6 TO 12 INCHES INTHIS REGION WITH THE LOWER AMOUNTS LIKELY ACROSS NANTUCKET. WORKINGFURTHER WEST EXPECT 4 TO 8 INCHES INTO CENTRAL MA/EASTERNCT...DROPPING OFF TO BETWEEN 2 AND 6 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHERNNH/WESTERN MA.WINDS...THE LOW RAPIDLY UNDER GOING BOMBOGENESIS WILL RESULT IN STRONG TODAMAGING WINDS DEVELOPING TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR AND JUST AFTERMIDNIGHT. NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 35 TO 50 MPH WILL AFFECT MUCHOF THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM. HOWEVER...TREMENDOUSTRANSFER SHOULD YIELD DAMAGING 60 TO 70 MPH GUSTS ACROSS PORTIONSOF THE CAPE/NANTUCKET.HEADLINES...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHERN NH/WESTERNMA. WINTER STORM WARNINGS CENTRAL/INTERIOR EASTERN MA AS WELL ASRHODE ISLAND. BLIZZARD WARNINGS FOR CAPE ANN...PLYMOUTHCOUNTY...CAPE AND ISLANDS.IMPACTS...ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND A TYPICAL SNOWSTORM WILLOCCUR. GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW AND POORVISIBILITIES.HOWEVER...THE MAIN IMPACTS WILL BE ACROSS EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. VERYHEAVY SNOW WITH SOME OF WHICH WILL BE VERY WET ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTNEW ENGLAND COAST...WILL COMBINE WITH THE DAMAGINGWINDS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN A LOT OF DOWNED TREESAND SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. TRAVEL ACROSS THIS REGION WILL BECOMEALMOST IMPOSSIBLE...AS DOWNED TREES MAY BLOCK ROADWAYS. INADDITION...SNOWFALL RATES OF 3 TO PERHAPS 4 INCHES PER HOUR FOR ATIME WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR PLOWS TO KEEP UP. TRAVEL WILLBECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND DANGEROUS.

OceanStWx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Where's James , i hope that is snow out there . Looks brutal Any wind obs from around area/bouys Closest you're going to get right now is 44066 (Texas Tower #4) about 75 east of ACY. Only 27 knots right now. Losing Nantucket Shoals is rough, that would be in good position for this one. But it's been gone since the February blizzard last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
