I can't even think about snow this time of year. That's a word I don't want to hear until at least mid November. All I want to hear this time of year from mets is warm, long sunny days with a light breeze from the southeast. I guess we all have our biases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low 40s with light sleet at the start that went over to -RN...makes sense as it was 41/24 at 11am, enough room to evap cooling some frozen to the surface. On my hike I saw some snowflakes above 3000ft but that too went over to -RN as the warm front lifted north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're offering me 95F, breezy, and sunny vs that storm out there then it'd be a more difficult decision. The snow probably still wins though.

I would just hate to deal with the cleanup afterwards. That's never an enjoyable task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 agreed on the impressions of the afternoon but ... the morning open sky and hot sun was a bonus/unexpected for me and that added quite a bit back. It made the rest of the way more like an acceptable compromise.. I'm getting the feeling that tomorrow may bust warm around SNE. The 12z Euro's complexion was definitely a touch more aggressive with the warm push into the area, with that look of warm frontal PP already bending in southern VT/NH by 12z! Meanwhile, right now we see an 'over-top' appeal going on with warm bulge already punching into NYS with what appears on visible imagery to be just a shallow cold air mass tucked down the I-95 coastal plain. I wonder if it's warmer in North Adams to RUT than it is in Mt Tolland for a bit early tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 A real winner today. I'm pissed my heat kicked on. High of 43F off a low of 28F...all afternoon was 40-42F. Sleet this morning, then drizzle and off and on light rain this afternoon. Here's a shot from yesterday...starting to see some new growth now in the valley and the lawns have greened up vibrantly.

CoastalWx Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Really neat clouds right now. Some good wave like undulations at the temp inversion. You typically see these in warm advection patterns. Looks like some storms just east of here. Heard what I thought was a distant rumble not to long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Today sucked...raw, gray, mid 40s all day...chilled to the bone. Took a hot shower when I got home from work. The storms and rain died out before reaching the Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Severe weather envy. Nice 55-60 kt 850 mb LLJ moving over PA/NY this afternoon. Lapse rates are a little on the low side for real significant outbreak, but 500-1000 J/kg will be more than enough for some widespread wind.

Haven't had the chance to look at much and just looked a bit but I'm surprised at the eastward extent of the risk and by some of the wording in the outlook just west of here...mentioned tornadoes possible with any supercells and maybe even a few strong tornadoes? LCL's looked on the higher side on a few soundings I saw and while good speed shear is contributing to large helicity, wind fields are mainly unidirectional above 850mb. A couple tornadoes possible...sure but strong...idk. Like you said, lapse rates aren't particularly great. This looks like it does have potential to be a decent wind event though if enough buoyancy develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hodographs are decent for a window this afternoon across NY/PA, and given the flow/shear strength anything that does start spinning probably would be strong, but a lot of that is dependent on there being discrete convection ahead of the main line.

Given wind field orientation and shear vectors I would think things become linear rather quickly. Still could see some embedded mesos but I'm really shocked at eastward extent of the slight. Best height falls and forcing remain well west until like the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need heights to tank, but in general I like to see them fall if we want convection in SNE since we need all the help we can get. I assume you mean in PA and NY though.
