40/70 Benchmark Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 2 minutes ago, moneypitmike said: I didn't think this statement in their AFD made sense.... Non-diurnal temperature trend for the most part except with a forecast burst of return colder air briefly around the late afternoon early evening for areas along and N of the Hartford to Boston corridor (see previous discussion below). Monitoring for the flash freeze / freezing rain - drizzle potential over such areas. SN+ continues, but looking at radar, the heavy stuff doesn't have much more than an hour to go. 17.6* Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 3 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: Do you think interior areas say Northwest of 95 and west of 495 hold onto pack? i think for some it's a small net gain .. that's my hunch. but, it's hard - I admit. I mean, stepping back that pattern didn't support even this much. people want to argue it, but, I've seen too many dramatic short duration (like inside 12 hours-worth) turn arounds in my time and this actually 'looked' like a candidate for that too happen. case in point, ...jan 1994... so on and so on. but as it were, the gods were friendly and the detail is that if we look at present radar tajectories, the flow is actually more east in the steering levels; which sort of backs us into an eye-brow raise/suspicion over this things ability to really move the warm air that far north, as soon as the large scaled suggestion. so, we end up with a solid 6 hour isentropic lift scenario instead. in 1994, ...and those events like that... the flow was very deep layered SSW at big speeds... that's a bit different than this time as things are verifying this morning. no turn to the east with the flow at our latitude back in those big time turn around events. having said that, using those as possible tools for how the snow pack may fair: there was snow left after the 1994 9 hour turbo thaw. it was thinned a lot, but there was some left. of course banks and piles remained, slam dunk, but even in lawns and commons and such. based on experience alone and then factoring in a little nod based on uncertainty for real warm penetration into say NW ORH county... i think we leave an inch or two in those regions. But down over eastern RI and over to say Norwood/Blue Hill, Boston and points SE? they'll break even or lose. that's what i'd say if forced..

It's funny though, when it first showed it, it wasn't something to normally dismiss. Scooter and I had a discussion on how it made sense from a met standpoint.
