Shear, diffluence, and tilt. So you stretch or shrink temp gradients (u), you diverge or converge temp gradients (v), or you tilt them up or down (w).

Somewhere in there you taught me GFS biases and what the Gun Hill Effect was. 1 minute ago, dendrite said: My first attempt at met school I think I saw Mekster more in Sherbrooke than at LSC.

And this is why I went to Millersville for Marine Biology instead of Meteorology. Although if I had to choose again I probably would have went the Meteorolgy route...

CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Jesus lol. Aneays gfs was sweet in a lot of spots but as will and others said, had nice potential well NW of QPF max. Don’t be a queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You work your way up to these things...all of the smaller basic equations that you eventually piece together and substitute in to get the larger ones. The only thing that used to irk me was keeping track of your signs whenever you had to plug data into the equations for a specific problem. It's easy to lose or gain a minus sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Well here we go. Not getting burned on something that has some of the same flags as last night. Some of my reasoning behind this: 500mb: Flat (zonal-like) and fast flow...very little, if any, room for amplification. Vorticity field is crap...too much of it. Likely will be a ton of convection and numerous vort maxes within the flow. No closed off H7 low (I recognize the kink) but seems like that happens south and while H85 closes off, it as well is south. Looking at WV imagery...hard to envision this gaining much in the way of latitude...unless that area of vorticity streaming SE from the northern Plains can help out...that is looking meh. This morning's system likely set a baroclinic zone...this storm could follow right along that track There is going to be a TON of convection in the SE tomorrow and for the fish...that is going to rob moisture 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a few flags on the positive side tonight on this as outlined earlier, I would not be surprised to see the Euro move in that direction, The 18z run of the Euro i have noticed since it came on can be wishy washy at times.

I can't see how tomorrow night brings anything different than what just happened. This almost looks quite similar to last night...the pattern is the exact same (only major difference I see is with s/w strength digging out of Canada). The QPF field up this way initially seems to be heavily influenced by a vort max models have arriving out of the OV. I'm sure we'll have WAA induced precip, but perhaps not as intense as what is shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a decent s/w in ththe flow, a juicier airmass, higher 850 inflow etc. It is zipping along so we won’t see huge totals, but it won’t be like last night. As a side note, those near taint may get a massive convective thumping of man snow. Guidance really has that look near those areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the main s/w coming in from the northwest or stuff coming up from the southwest? I certainly agree with your thoughts and with that I think all of that aligns better for SE CT...perhaps that would need to be pulled back farther NW, but the track of everything doesn't have me very confident for a good part of the state. Also looks like things really crank a bit later so this would be a much better deal for eastern areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
