HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 .5" here w/ just pixie dust now. Despite a disappointing round 1 I did get to see some absolutely perfect dendrites stacking before my eyes. Have not seen too many of those this winter.

Can kind of see it setting up It's too early to see the IVT setting up...that really doesn't happen until pretty late...like 06z or later. But there is another round of precip that develops anyway before that from the 2nd vort energy max coming east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 2-4 was right on track for here and i would say the majority of the shoreline into 15-20 miles inland, well see how the rest of CT fares overnight when its all said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think those calling for low numbers for the majority were really that wrong. Most people got 1-2" and some people got 3"... maybe some places add a bit more later... but overall... I don't think this was really a positive bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yeah, not so sure about the post mortem that the first wave was somehow south of forecast. Isentropic lift always pointed towards CT, with 50 knots upglide in the mid levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The models actually did a good job with the initial stuff. Did well with the sharp cutoff too. You could even see it with the soundings where near Boston on north had subsidence below 850 while south actually had some omega in lower levels allowing for better saturation. The lack of good 850 and 700 inflow and more of an east-west conv area along the 850-700 front kept the band down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know what a good radar image looks to you. I looked to the west and it looked pretty shredded to me... but it was obvious after you pointed it out that I was looking in the wrong place. We ended up getting a nice burst of heavy snow... I have no problem admitting I messed up on that..

ORH_wxman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 There's some weak LL convergence for most of the evening, so it won't be surprising if the short term guidance underestimates the precip a little...and we see areas blossom from time to time before the last main push arrives later tonight.
