gravitylover Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have light snow starting to fall now. Clouds have been lowering and thickening for the last half hour or so. It looks like the main body of the squall line is still west of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dWave Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Anyone obs from those under the snow squall..it looks like its on NYC's doorstep now. I think the southern part of line looks better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcatct Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Is there a possibility in any of these snow squalls to get any Thunder that you would normally see in the summertime when a cold front comes through and get the thunderstorms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the best chances will be across LI over to southern New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Yes, but the best chances will be across LI over to southern New England.This is basically the same physics as thunderstorms, just with bitterly cold Temperatures. The baroclynic gradient setting up is rather intense, yet initial temperatures are cold enough for this to be snow?Correct?

The baroclynic gradient setting up is rather intense, yet initial temperatures are cold enough for this to be snow? Correct? yep, just a rare winter-time version. this line is strongly forced by the arrival of the bitter cold air mass. see 925mb temperature advection below: the sfc-3km lapse rates posted on the previous page would be displaced much higher in the atmosphere during a summer-time event, although not to the magnitude observed today. a 140KT 500mb jet in spring/summer would also be outrageous. many of the large-scale tornado outbreaks are associated with 100KT up there.
