HoarfrostHubb Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I figured this is at least as interesting as yesterday's 0.1" dusting that got people excited. Radar has squalls punching through NY state and maybe some near Pittsfield Winds here in N ORH county are picking up after being calm. Clouds increasing. Looking to see if I can hit -10F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 10 AM UPDATE... MONITORING THE SNOW-BAND S OF THE S NEW ENGLAND COASTLINE. WIND TRAJECTORIES INITIALLY W ALLOWING FOR A DECENT OCEAN-EFFECT BAND OUT OF LONG-ISLAND SOUND. WITH WINDS A BIT MORE NW...THE BAND SEEMINGLY IS REMAINING S OF MVY / ACK. REPORTS ON ACK OF SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES...BUT EXPECT HEAVIEST OF SNOW TO REMAIN S OF THE ISLAND. OTHERWISE...NEAR-TERM MESOSCALE GUIDANCE WOULD LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THE CHANCE OF SNOW-SQUALLS DOES EXIST PARENT WITH THE ANTICIPATED ARCTIC FRONT WHICH WILL SWEEP THE REGION AROUND THE 1 PM TO 4 PM TIMEFRAME. GOOD LAPSE RATES...STRONG NW-WINDS...ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE...YET LIMITED MAKING FOR AN ISOLATED-SCATTERED SNOW-SQUALL EVENT. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IS ALONG THE W-SLOPES OF HIGHER TERRAIN WITH OROGRAPHIC TENDENCIES. NEVERTHELESS...HAVE FOLLOWED WITH CHANCE POPS ACCORDINGLY AND THE EXPECTATION OF MEASURABLE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS LESS THAN AN INCH. WITH ANY SNOW- SQUALL ACTIVITY...VISIBILITIES WILL DROP RESULTING IN ADVERSE / HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. AS THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND WINDS BACK NW...FOCUS SHIFTS TO THE OUTER-CAPE WHERE ITS POSSIBLE GREATER AVAILABILITY OF MOISTURE AND DECENT FETCH ACROSS THE WATERS WILL YIELD OCEAN- EFFECT SNOW AND ACCUMULATIONS UPWARDS OF 2-INCHES AS WE GO INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL AND WHETHER ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED. WITH TEMPERATURES / DEWPOINTS ... LEANED ON THE COLDER SIDE OF GUIDANCE WITH A BLEND OF THE NAM / MET WITH GREATER WEIGHT LEANED ONTO THE MET GUIDANCE. HIGHS ONLY GETTING INTO THE LOW- TO MID-20S WITH UPPER-TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. COUPLED WITH THE WINDS BACKING NW BEHIND THE FRONT...COLDEST WIND CHILL VALUES TOWARDS DUSK WITH READINGS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW ZERO FOR THE HIGH TERRAIN WITH SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ELSEWHERE. WINDS ... ON TRACK. ALREADY BECOMING BREEZING WITH THE DIURNAL MIXING ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION SUBSEQUENT TO MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS. SEEING MIX-DOWN OF MOMENTUM FROM WINDS ALOFT. EXPECTING GUSTS 25 TO 30 MPH BY MIDDAY...GUSTS 30 TO 35 MPH BY DUSK. IN BOTH SITUATIONS...WINDS WILL BE 5 TO 10 MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx2fish Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Some snow showers starting to roll through the Pittsburg, NH cams. Im sure they'll get some pretty good squalls this afternoon.

eyewall Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The front rolled through BTV around 11am and the squalls were underwhelming. I saw nothing worse than a couple of minutes of 3/4 mile vis. It appeared to be more robust up toward St. Albans/Milton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 What's up with that 10F spike at ORH between 8-9am? That looks wrong. 22F at 9am when everyone else including BOS wasnt that warm. Then it dropped back to 18F this past hour after another jump to 24F at 10am. Thermo looks like it wet haywire but corrected back this hour. We might get a bogus high temp tho if the real temp doesn't hit 24 which it probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
