Typhoon Tip Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My biggest concern with this is that assimilation schemes appear to be guiding just about all the mechanics that the models are finally bringing over land in 48 hours over western Canada. I suspect that this system could be a bit more proficiently designed when that happens. Until then, we may contend with varied commitment both inside and outside respective model cycles - not atypical for shadowed systems. Presently, ..the impulse has yet to even be ejected out of the SPV over the N arc of the Pacific, and really won't until ~ 12 z -ish tomorrow. After which, it rockets like a bat out of hell into the N/A sounding domain some 24 or so hours later. It's got a bit of a 'Bozart et al 'little critter' ness to it, where it may maximize one or two physical components in it's evolution through the flow in such a way that it over-produces (so to speak...). This thing may hit the land-sea interface near the Jersey coast with a wall of DPVA and some interesting short duration cyclogen results should more come in off the Pacific ... and open wave potency slip underneath L.I.

ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Agreed Tip, Mentioned in the model thread how this one def had the Lance Bozart "critter" look. We'll see if it sticks...these "Arctic screamers" are always a bit tough on model guidance. One day it's in about the worst data assimilation region possible, and then 24 hours later it's well into the data-rich southern Canada or even N CONUS. When they are moving that fast, it's a good recipe for large model changes inside of 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-CT Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Considering this is the blizzard24 storm, it is a good thing that he still doesn't change his forecast with each model run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Early idea is for lower impact scenario. But, I like the trajectory of the wave mechanics through southern Alaska tomorrow as a possible 'goose' in the mechanical presence in the stream(s) ...and possibly seeing some morphology of this as a quick hitter/reminder of the time of year regardless of whether the Euro's magnificent ridge succeeds shortly thereafter or not. Or, it may stay as is, but, this systems origin is not exactly dense in the grids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Interesting little storm. Nice northern stream disturbance (you can see the big dip/disturbance on the dynamic tropopause) works with that plume of southern stream moisture. There's only so much room to go north/south here as it's really the combination of the two that delivers the QPF bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Ryan that southern panel is key ! nice...

You've got that existing boundary and the northern stream disturbance amplifies and brings it north. The two remain pretty much separate entities and then with the low static stability over the ocean + highermoisture content you get cyclogenesis and a nice precip shield.

I actually saw Lance's presentation on that back in the NE Storm C. ...circa 1997 I wanna say... and recall specifically the case study. that was a nasty non-predicted DOT nightmare. It struck roughly 11 am through 3pm and dumped 10+ inches of SE Mass, on west wind! ...I think we had 6" where I was in Acton... But I remember another almost exactly like that in 2003 ... There was a snow showers and windex squalls in the 'cast and we ended up with a stationary meso band from hell over metro and metro west. I was working down on Comm Ava across from BU at the time and I remember < 1/4 vis for over two hours. Man, that's what you live for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If my memory serves me well, this system reminds me a little —in terms of evolution— of the January 17th snowstorm that hit the Carolinas. I think this was also a small omega bomb. Obviously this is much further north, and we don’t have the issue of the baroclinic zone being displaced SE of the BM; so this one isn’t destined for the Carolinas by any stretch... Different early stages but explosive development when it tapped the UL vort digging southeast from Canada just off the east coast in a progressive flow environment.
