Thanksgiving Weekend Weather (Wed-Sun)

Thank you and no kidding this far out .

Scott also, do you see any N/NNE drain of cooler drier air wed am, or are we gonna see a large area of CP (out to Orh) "torch" to 40 prior to precip on light east winds. Whats your gut say on that , thank you

 ORH will probably be in the U30s or so when it starts, but have plenty of room to wetbulb. That's a product of an airmass not terribly cool, but thanks to lower dews, cool enough to snow inland. I don't see this as a nrly drain of cooler air, but it will help drain lower dews from air that isn't marine tainted. So your CF might separate air that's 36-38 vs near 30 or so?

You should be taken to the woodshed.

You can't judge CSI on a sounding... this doesn't really have a CSI look but rather a big front end thump look. Almost SWFEish with the mid level low to the west and the snow really from the initial omega burst.

A wise man "Wes Junker" once told me once that looking at soundings you can in fact deduce that there could be some CSI, notice the bump in the 600-700 mb sounding, thats the spot to look at, . HM also has pointed this out, at any rate its unstable.

Yeah - you can't judge CSI from a sounding. You can try and find a MAUL but that is different from CSI.

GFS/NAM type tracks would definitely be better for trying to get slantwise convection into SNE...Euro is more of a big omega front end thump.

 

We don't know which camp is done moving (or if either are) so it's still early to get too wrapped up in that type of analysis...but if you are rooting for CSI the -EPV/fronto combo, then you want something more SE.

Steve, that is the GFS, not Euro. I pointed that out yesterday too. The reason why you see that, is because you 700 low is further east. That isn't necessarily CSI either.

I was talking about the GFS

"CSI seems in the cards too. noting unstable soundings especially on the GFS."

Looks very very close to what we had 2 weeks ago in that snow event..when folks swore everyone would start as rain..but a few folks pointed out elevations would start as snow. It may take an hour or 2 to start sticking but above 700 feet starts as snow

It doesn't matter whether it starts as snow or not in the hills. It will be irrelevant to the final accumulations.
