Baroclinic Zone Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 PM UPDATE... STRONG OCCLUDED LOW OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND DEVELOP A SECONDARY LOW THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS/JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE BENCHMARK THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THIS DYNAMIC SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BRING STRONG WINDS..COASTAL FLOODING AND SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. EAST/WEST SNOWBAND EARLY THIS MORNING THAT WAS OVER LONG ISLAND THROUGH NANTUCKET HAS BEGUN TO PIVOT AND MOVE TOWARDS A MORE SW TO NE ORIENTATION. THIS BAND IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THE 12Z NAM OMEGA LIFT WITHIN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION AND 700 MB F-GEN. THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...THIS FRONTOGENESIS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL CT INTO RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. EXPECT SNOWFALL RATES NEAR 1 TO 3 INCHES WITHIN THE BAND. IN FACT OVER LONG ISLAND THEY HAD RECEIVED SNOWFALL RATES NEAR 3 INCHES AN HOUR THIS MORNING. HAVE UPDATED SNOWFALL TOTALS AGAIN AND USED A BLEND OF THE HI-RES GUIDANCE AND HRRR WITH THE PREV FORECAST. APPEARS THAT THE DRY AIR WILL CUT OFF AMOUNTS NORTH OF THE MASS AND I-84...KEEPING IN LINE WITH THE SHARP CUT-OFF GRADIENT THAT PREV FORECASTERS HAVE BEEN MENTIONING OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. OVERALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH SNOWFALL TOTALS WHICH THE LATEST CAN BE FOUND ONLINE. NO CHANGES TO HEADLINES AT THIS TIME. ON THE FENCE FOR UPGRADING THE CAPE AND ACK TO A BLIZZARD WARNING BUT BL TEMPS ARE TOO MARGINAL. SOUNDING DATA SHOWS THAT A QUICK SWITCH OVER TO RAIN OR EVEN A MIX IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OUTER CAPE AND ACK. SURFACE TEMPS THERE AND EVEN FOR THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST OF RI ARE ALSO NEAR FREEZING 32-34 WHICH RESULTS IN A WETTER SNOW. THIS IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR CONSISTENT VSBYS LESS THEN 1/4SM FOR 3+ HOURS. THIS HEAVY WEST SNOW AND WINDY CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO DOWN TREE LIMBS AND ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES. 12Z GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE GUSTY WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. 925 MB JET INCREASES CLOSE TO 45-60 KTS. NAM EVEN GUSTS TO 70-80 KTS. FEEL GOOD WITH THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR CAPE/ACK AND WIND ADV FOR ESSEX COUNTY. WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS COVER THE REMAINING WIND GUST THREAT. ALTHOUGH WE ARE ON THE NORTHERN FRIDGE OF THIS STORM. LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS STORM LIGHTLY. HEAVY BANDING MOVING THROUGH WILL DROP VSBYS DOWN BELOW 1SM AND QUICKLY DROP 2 INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO LIMIT VSBYS. ROADS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO TRAVEL. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 +SN for the past hour at a steady 2"/hr pace. It's really ripping here. Probably 7" or so down, but havent measured since 12ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pretty sure ACK just met blizzard criteria, if you count wind gusts over 35mph as opposed to sustained. From about 12:30 to 3:30pm. This is unofficial of course, I'm just going by wunderground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy4Confluence Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Enjoying the "great suk" with snow showers and a coating so far. Hoping more meaningful stuff thatsc10 miles of here makes it, but not sure it will with heavy confluence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Ack gust to 64 One thing is for sure, this cold, dry low level air is great for mixing down those NE winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikoss427 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just joined after following the site for a few weeks. I've been enjoying the banter and learning from everyone here. I'm at my parent's house in SE Willington CT. Light to moderate snow since 1PM here and about 1.5" on the ground. From the webcam of my yard in Tolland it looks to be barely an inch there.

metagraphica Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just back from a drive down to East Lyme Stop & Shop. Just snow grains (almost sleet like) while down there @ 3pm and putrid snow growth while driving back but just changed back over to moderate - heavy snow here. About 4.5" total so far.

OceanStWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Definitely our washing machine shortwave coming to the rescue on this system. It won't be as strong as the initial WCB, but you can already see this shortwave is initiating a second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerz_nailz Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 About 1" OTG in Coventry. That band over Willimantic is 4 miles south of me and just started to move north now after sitting there for at least an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Might as well show the NAM here. What a banding signal the 12z run had for midday. The image is f-gen, the yellow dashed lines deformation, and black lines height. You can see the H7 front extending NNE from the mid level low center, then east from there. And just north of that the perfect combination of factors to produce the banding potential I highlighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 A renewed moisture source has popped up on the eastern side of the surface low and upper level low, this must be the additional H5 energy that has rounded the base of the trough.
