Expand True, not a lot but definitely ticked south with the mixing. It's very RGEM-like. We'll see if the mesos are onto something or not. I'm with dendrite though, sometimes it's hard to completely discount the warmth aloft pushing north. SFC temps will be locked cold, but that 700-800mb warmth can flow north pretty fast.

Without a developing secondary that will be tough to slow. Maybe the NAM is too aggressive with that, but I’ve seen the gfs do the opposite too. Euro seems like something in the middle.

Expand I mean the 00z RGEM isn't backing down with the mid-level warmth either. We can say what we want about the model but at 00z Wednesday it's sleeting up to SLK-RUT-CON with very little snow south/west of that. The low levels are frigid though with SFC temps below freezing straight to the coastline (even south coast of CT) while it's sleeting up into NNE.

Expand No im looking at it out to its 48 hour max. It's done ok in a few events up this way. Was real good in the January 19-20 event here. I'm not saying it's right but it's not backing down. The NAM family should give some pause too. Those models do sniff out mid-level warmth, this isn't like large synoptic features. They are very cold in the low levels too, so it's not like they are warming the column up...only the 700-750mb layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Usually down here is all about the thump and forcing from the massive 850-700 WF that moves in. It will be cold for awhile as it’s cold enough to snow. Then we time the warm Tongue and see how much surface cold is left. Usually this area does ok since I have some latitude relatively speaking. I still think 4-6 works but I feel more comfortable with 4-5 as of now. Anyways looks solid up your way even if you taint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are looking at a 6 to 9 hour window tops for strong lift. It's unlikely you'll do an inch an hour for 6-9 hours, so there's your upper bounds.

The mid-levels are way west, like over Michigan when the best lift moves into our area...just a straight shot of strong SSW winds aloft and nothing to stop warmth from plowing north.

ORH_wxman Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've been on the 4-6 train here for about 2 days now. Possible we could get 7-8 if we went insane thump for a while...but you need like 2" per hour for that and I don't see it on this setup. We'd need the whole midlevel structure of the storm about 100-200 miles east for that I think...more like 12/16/07. GFS has flirted at times with the heavier scenario but not gonna bite unless we see a collective trend toward that tomorrow. It could be 3" too if the push is weak for the first 2-4 hours. But regardless, def gonna be a wintry storm. Sfc ain't going above freezing over interior until around FROPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
