WEATHER53 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Close to Mega front criteria with a 25 degree drop in 12 hours likely For those unfamiliar a mega front produces 15 degree drop in 1 hour or 20 degree drop in 2 hours or 25 degree drop in 12 hours or 35 degree drop in 24 hours I can rember the numeric of my greatest 24 hour drop being 52 degrees but not the date and the greates 2 hour drop was november 1995 of 24 degrees which kicked off the great 95-96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anyone with access know if there is precip associated with this? I let my subscription expire but looking at the mid and upper levels it sure looks like there is. h5 is closed off over sw va. Good dynamics.

Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 a little over the mtns and southern va at that pt. moves through here during the day but temps are in the 40s. The weekend setup in general is fairly potent for an outside shot at some snow. I'm neutral on the idea either way but it's an intriguing look. Once the ul trough digs in Fri there looks to be one or several pieces of energy turning the corner. Something can pop under or over us with a sharp trough like that. It doesn't favor progressive with the pretty nasty ridge poking into GL. Probably cold rain of course but some wet snow shouldn't surprise anyone.

You would think any snow this late during the day would have to have some sort of closed ul feature taking a nice (perfect) track. Without some dynamic ul support I just don't see much chance. WAA precip won't get the job done unless it's some sort of freak event. Backside of a bowling ball could probably get the surface temps down enough. Night seems like a requirement even for snow tv. It's a shame the lw pattern we are seeing set up is coming in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Outside of that shoreline blizzard, I think this is the most impressive event of the season for CT. Incredibly impressive cold. And Boston is heading it's way towards reaching seasonal average from multiple April snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
