weatherwiz Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think mine looks alright. But unsure of something...if you see some station pressure that are like 1006mb and then 1003mb can you still draw in the 1004mb isobar even though there is no station which has that reading? I'll post my map for reference...I have my isobars for western and central CT but nothing in eastern. Also, if the pressure is 1008.3 would I not draw the 1008mb contour right through that station or should it be off to the side a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Dude...you have 1008 cutting through the 083 and 088 plots. Keep in mind those are 1008.3 and 1008.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just saw your last sentence. You have to look at the values in the plot and sorta visualize where the contour would fit in between. Obviously you'd draw the 1012 contour halfway between 1011.0 and 1013.0 plots. If the plots are 1011.7 and 1012.9 you'd obviously draw it much closer to the 1011.7 than the 1012.9. You have the 1012 going through the 1012.3 when it should be closer to the 1011.8 than the 1012.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Be careful about putting ctours where you dn't have data to prove it. You have a small zone there of 35F in N-C CT with no obs of <= 35F there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just assumed there may be a 35 there given how there are obs of 32F and 33F to the north and 36F and 38F south of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the 35F contour in NW CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Nice 41 degree drop from 3 PM yesterday, went from 89 to 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 41F for the low so far. SLK with first freezing temperatures. They've at least hit 32F with a few obs now showing 30-31F but could be rounding. We will have to see how low they got when the 12z mins come out.

The shorter trees between it and the taller tree to it's left (as seen on-screen) weren't moving much, either. Sometimes, gusts of straight-line winds can be quite narrow. After the July 1999 derecho, I saw in Eustis a strip of flattened red pine, a relatively windfirm species, that was about 80 feet wide and 600 long, with undamaged trees on either side. Thanks!

You are (slightly) more likely to have a 960 mb pressure than a 1060 mb pressure for instance. 13 hours ago, weatherwiz said: I think mine looks alright.

You keep your 1008 isobar a proportional distance between the two points in question. Don't worry though, we all could stand to do a little more hand analysis.
