This has slowly but surely become another below average winter and I'm not convinced its going to change, no matter what some model says. Dry and chilly on the menu now. LOL, I wouldn't melt.

We'll still get some decent snow and sleet, but right now the models have us between the best areas of forcing. There's still time for some slight changes though.

You will get white material of some sort, which is more than other areas. This never looked like a 8-14" snow event over a wide area. I think we see widespread 2-6" type snow/sleet accums in NNE/CNE.

Rather have that with 3-6 of snow and ice than an inch of boring rain wire to wire like SNE . But that's me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I find it interesting that the Albany NWSFO never seems confident about how much shadowing will occur in the HV. I'm expecting a pretty good shadow and some nice enhancement west of the HV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it simply forecaster interpretation or did the models actually change to be less snow? 1 hour ago, CoastalWx said: Still a mighty warm tongue, so probably lots of sleet there. The soundings still look a little weird to me. Either subsidence in the DGZ like the GFS has, or more shallow lift below the DGZ. The dacks west of Lake Champlain could get a dumping closer to the deformation area. Quick look: Euro is still chilly (Dendrite stays below freezing aloft for the duration just about). GFS and NAM are much warmer and sleety, but the GFS still mix out that shallow warmer layer and have a snow profile around 09z. I am a touch confused at how we arrived at our forecast amounts last night. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 And there's my answer. The AFD says a Euro/NAM blend. And the NAM is the warmest of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 1 hour ago, CoastalWx said: The other thing is the forcing really is closer to the coast. I don't see a huge deformation or CCB other than a massive arc of low to mid level lift heading north. So that can cause downwind issues from the deep forcing closer to the coast. Then again the flow banks up against the high terrain up in NH and ME which helps. Yeah, I mean we're out of the game for deformation band type forcing. I see mainly LLJ forced precip lifting N in a band as you say. Now that kind of southerly and easterly flow plus deep subtropical connection should mean plenty of moisture. But given the CAD, you can get some weird subsidence zones just beyond the coastal front. I do think slamming this LLJ into the cold dome of the high should wring out a decent QPF event though.

Yeah they'll be a lot of moisture for sure. But as you say...maybe some weird subby zones. I wish I could see more deeper euro guidance other than what I'm limited to, but sounds pretty cold in the lakes region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Brian's hood, a time height view has him at a maximum temp of -0.2C at 12 Tue (all subfreezing before that too), and that's at the surface. Aloft the warmest temp I can find is like -1.2C around 700 mb. So could it be a degree warmer than that? Sure, but it's still a solid sleet sounding.

The nam has done well with tricky warm layers, but this is a setup with a stout high and the low goes well SE of central NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
