12-18 hours out the GFS was way too dry on the NW periphery of the precip. shield in the southeast.  Those of us in ENY, NWCT, and WMA are hoping it's similarly too dry 12-18 hours from now.

 

I've seen southern stream lows shoot much further north than modeled in the short term, but precip is more likely to be modeled too far south with a developing southern low than with a wrapped up coastal.  I expect the precip shield to consolidate into a tight shield and pull east tomorrow morning.

this loosely reminds me of Dec 23, 1997 ...  

 

the vertical sigma is negatively differential on the NAM's FRH grid, both at BOS and ALB on the product, during max omega and intense short duration fall rates. 

 

many of you were probably not old enough to recall that, just as many of you were/are ... but that was the famed snow bomb storm that came out of left field for a lot of Mets and clocked interior zones from ORH up to SW Maine with incredible 5 to 8" per hour snow fall rates.  The ordeal was over with in just five or so hours ... but it fell to 24" in Pepperell Ma, with numerours 15" totals surrounding...most of which fell in just two to three hours mid event.   The snow fell straight down, small to moderate uniform aggregate sizes, with visibility a few feet and that is no embellishment!  I know ... I was there.

 

similarly ...but this is not to espouse this as an "analog" we have that same sort of vertical thermal profile, with a powerful IB pulse and associated wall of DPVA running up (potentiall) into an air mass that is colder in the lower thickness intervals than is modeled.  That was largely contributory back whence.  The night immediately prior to the event featured star light dead calm radiational cooling ..with vestigial high pressure still nosing down.  All models for some reason omitted that physicality and assumed a 33 sort of ordeal, with marginal ... they were just too warm given to that.  We dawned at 19 F over a large chunk of the area, and then clouds came in and capped that cold, with those colder 800mb being correct, the total vertical therms were thus colder than modeled given to the antecedence ... What was anticipated to be 2-5" in the ORH hills and cat's paws everywhere else, was actually a mid 20s choking thump.

 

This situation may or may not benefit from some rad cooling/conditionals like that .. .but, that aspect of negative temperature differential in the vertical, combined with an intense omega spike ...I'm wondering here   ;)

 

We'll see.  Could almost be a wet snow version of that one.

 

Edit, I see there's some product notification starting up so that's good imho -

 

I was in middle school. It wasn't as ridiculous as March 31 earlier that year (predicted changeover 5 p.m., actual 11 a.m.) but still an interesting bus ride home. 8" in the close-in suburbs IIRC.

Still really warm, but looks like it flips in areas to brief paste where lift rips. It pulls 925 OC right into and just SE of BOS.

Huh? I see +2C at 925mb BOS-ORH at 18z tomorrow. I'm seeing nothing under 0C in the state of Mass at 12z and 18z. Although BOS does go from +7C to +2C, so it's close.
