OceanStWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Well I'm having a hard time matching the snow forecasts to my west, but otherwise match BOX and CAR. But it was definitely a tick down from the previous forecast. There's the before, so people can chuck when the new one comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 As evidence of how warm the 00z suite was, WPC's 10th percentile distribution on top of our snowfall (9 out of 10 time you should expect more than this number) for a location like ASH went from around 9" at 12z to 3" at 00z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the models really been that far off or is it that the rates will be so high near the changeover zone that a difference of a couple of hours or 20 miles could mean the difference between 9" and 3"?

What it means is that there are just enough models now spitting out the lower range values that the 10th percentile of the curve has lowered to around 3". Previously so many models were high QPF and cold that 9" was the lower end of that tail. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The median values are like 10-11". The high end values are actually still quite high, because if it stays all snow there is still 18" potential. So their range just got wider. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Oh boy oh boy oh boy * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Temperatures plunging into the upper teens to lower 20s by late afternoon will result in a flash freeze and wet roads becoming icy. Any mixed precipitation will end as a period of snow Sunday afternoon. Travel will be very difficult and hazardous tonight through Sunday afternoon, along with po 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 as much as the gfs is garbagy etc...days and days ago when it was way nw and stubborn about it, perhaps it was sending a message that the southern stream would not be denied I think in their own way, all models try to tell us something and even the terrible ones often get an important piece of the puzzle correct 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Pretty much. These cold temps in the 20s prior to 7a really scream arctic antecedent air. What a pissah. And just like this winter has, this low will probably plow through my fanny as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with al the build-up, folks won't be caught off-guard. However, I agree 100% that the nowcasts will be fun. As far as the cold on the backside. check out the FV3 for tomorrow night.

The good news is that it's a north/south line, so moisture transport shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
