NJwx85 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yikes, things are trending towards a less progressive outcome in terms of West to East movement. Luckily the storms themselves should be advancing North relatively quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Both NWS offices really hitting the 2-4" rainfall amounts hard. Also high tide couldn't be coming at a worst time tomorrow for much of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am in FLL and the squall line is approaching and as a bonus, I am flying to NYC tomorrow morning so I get the southern and northern part of the system...we had some excitement this morning as a rogue storm developed on the Southerly flow and there was rotation. It did get sunny and we hit the low 80s so the atmosphere has become very unstable this afternoon. So far though the line has been rather anemic on the approach to SE Florida. See you tomorrow in NYC. 1-3 inches of rain expected, so for us that typical summertime stuff and its been dry so no flooding concerns here.

TJW014 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Mike Seidel referred this to the 1993 Superstorm, just a lot warmer. I didn't exist for another 8 years after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 https://mobile.twitter.com/DRmetwatch/status/1075859893356257280 Columbus GA broke its Dec low pressure record, set previously Dec 5, 1977 (997.7 vs 998.7 hPa). CSG records go back to 1948. Birmingham AL is within 0.9 hPa of its December low pressure record. Both sites could see further pressure falls as the low deepens while lifting north.

jm1220 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 N NJ and E PA especially in elevated areas should have the heaviest totals by far given upslope on the deep moist SE flow and it being increasingly likely the firehose stays over NJ for most of the storm. 4-5” is a good possibility in some of those areas.

purduewx80 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 LIX tied the previous December 500mb height record low at 00Z this evening. This is a testament to how anomalous this system is and will be. The majority of the forecast models have heights lowering to all-time record lows overnight, so the 12Z sounding will be fun to see. The spread in today's guidance is essentially 5410-5415m. The previous lowest 500 height there going back to the late '40s was 5440m, set in March.

Albedoman Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 4 hours ago, NJwx85 said: From @earthlight a stated this a few days ago in the philly forum ----I am absolutely amazed there is little to no discussion on the PWAT values for Fridays rains in this forum and the record breaking temps with thunderstorm watches/warnings and with flood warnings galore. This is biblical in my textbook in my 30 years of weather for this area. The groundwater level has never been seen this high in the LV and this is coming from Lehigh County Authority who has observation wells all over Lehigh County for the last 50+ years. Four inches of rain from this upcoming event will be devastating in some areas. Historic flooding is anticipated and MT Holly backs it up with how early they issued the flood watches. To hell with talking about a one inch snow for Christmas- for many their Christmas will be cleaning up the flood damage, especially from flooded basements. I am totally bewildered why the media is only given a measly mention. I guess if was a hurricane like Hurricane Irene, it would be front page. Boy will everyone be surprised on Saturday morning and the damage will be extensive.--- Mike Seidel is on the mark. I remember the radar distinctly in 1993 as I was watching that storm evolve and guess what, it looks just like this storm but warmer. This is the storm of the year if not the decade for us in E PA and NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Sorry to intrude but I had this thought while posting on Mid-Atlantic discussion of this storm, looks to me like there could be a severe storm risk Friday afternoon in the NYC region as this system forms a fairly well-organized triple point moving NNE from Delaware up coastal NJ region into NYC or western LI and then western CT. Is this in the forecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 0.20" in the bucket at the first real lull of the event – the Moon is actually shining through pretty brightly at times. Low clouds are absolutely screaming out of the ESE, with due easterly winds at the surface getting quite stiff. Not sure I've seen clouds move so quickly.
