Damage In Tolland

Upslope regions FTL today.

 

I'd rather it just be sunny and warmer at this point, rather than mid-30s with mixed rain and snow down lower, although it is snowing from 1,500ft+. 

 

Totally useless at this point though, bring on the sun and spring flowers.  Looks like the rest of you are enjoying some mostly sunny skies, much better than this depressing low ceiling mixed precip showers.

You can really tell, both sensibly and measured, the difference between a big-bubble-no-trouble air mass that has its origin off a negative EPO dump, vs one that does not. The EPO rose last week and remains positive (for the time being), and thus, as we generate new high pressure cells in confluence over Canada, the lower tropospheric pile-ups (HP) do not homogenize in, as richly cooled air compared to when there is deep layer flow over arctic circle and down through the NW Territories of Canada.

 

Thus, this particular high pressure acts like a pseudo warm front, ...almost analogous to an occlusion passage clearing out an ice storm; the temp spikes shortly after the boundary passes -- the fropa overnight scoured out the plaguing 40's. Moreover, because of this atmosphere's +EPO origin, it won't nearly posses the agonizing chill-bite that has recently been rather incongruent for post April 15.  

 

There was a four-day dip in the EPO prior to the arrival of the power front phenomenon last Tuesday. By the time the front arrived here on that day, the EPO was already back above 0.0 SD and rising. 

 

Obviously it can get cold for other reasons, but seeing as the PNA and NAO and AO for that matter, were all rather static while the EPO flipped phases, seems to all fit well with why this is an impressive polar high sans that same ilk of bite for this round. Interesting...

 

I agree with the general consensus that we have a four to perhaps five day interlude of more classic spring-like conditions, and actually.. the 00z Euro was down right warmly implied for Monday.  With +10 to +12C 850s, amid a light dry clear SW/WSW breezes on that run, I can imagine a mixing depth actually at 850mb for a change. We'd be talking nearing 80 for some idealized heating zones.   

 

After that ... heeeh...  Man, what a -NAO crash in the GFS cluster.  The CDC hasn't updated but the CPC is plunged to abyssal depths ...some -3SD.  There could be something big and interesting and ...rather incongruent of that era between the 24th and the 30th of the month, with a vestigial +PNA and a dramatic mass field implosion with over-arching height heights in a west-based -NAO...?

 

Two words:    Dic - ey

 

If there is going to be something made of that potential.... it is also highly unlikely that any operational run has a clue what that is, not just because it is beyond D5, but during typical spring stochastic, operational Meteorological nightmare time of the year.  The two factors would utterly prevent anything other than a connotation. We'll just have to see.

Nice day out on the field but ripping winds ruining it somewhat

 

It's because you live at the top of a radio tower on that Tolland Hill... Down here at 196' elevation in the Merrimack Valley region, our winds are more breeze like and not nearly as cutting.

Damn, with these spring breezes its really going to be tough to live on tolland for the next two-three weeks. Would hate to live there man

Maybe it's all relative because I froze my nuts off the last two days, but today feels great. Windows down and t-shirt FTW on the way in to work.

It's a lot nicer out now than a few hours ago. I don't think it has been as windy today where you are, but...working on Saturday FTL. Doesn't the weather ever take a weekend off?
