WinterWolf Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, weatherwiz said: 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. Heres the funny part..you thought last night looked good for CT for banding,and the overall set up really didn’t look good at all on modeling besides the banding signal, which never materialized. Tomorrow looks much better and different on modeling, and you think it looks worse? You’re the MET..but this looks way different than today, but you’re the pro, not me.

If the NAM is right with that blob of vorticity that sort of comes over CT we will get dumped on pretty good and I'll bust super low. It's tough to tell if this is a legit piece of energy or not...it comes out of the same vorticity cluster so who knows. The GFS looks good too and you can really see the precip blossom with the feature. I just think a good part of CT is right on the border with this.

The 500mb pattern is quite similar...very flat and fast (in fact the flow is even faster tonight overall (Tonight: left: last night: right) Here is GFS tonight for Monday morning vs last night 700 looks similar and in fact models had 700 low developing around eastern MA. Doesn't look to happen Monday (obviously not always needed, but helpful). Biggest difference I see is the 850 inflow with a much stronger jet (like Scott mentioned) and closed off low but that looks to be way south to benefit CT. Looks to benefit more of RI/SE MA. All the best fronto/VV's also scrape southern CT and eastern areas. And tomorrow could very well present the same issues with convection negatively influencing things...that I downplayed yesterday, but can't do that tomorrow when it's obvious there will be even more convection at play here. In CT I think we're relying on intense WAA and some piece of vort to move overhead (like the NAM is showing). Otherwise to me it looks like all the best lifting and forcing and heaviest snow hit southern CT, RI, and into SE MA. Unless there is something I'm totally missing here...what would allow for this to definitively track farther north and west than what happened last night? What is the key piece saying that will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I definitely was on the low end and pretty bearish for this last storm but this time seem to be on the higher end of things. Everything i've seen tonight including model trends, lift in the DGZ, FGEN, surface track and intensity looks significantly better than last storm. May have to amend this tomorrow for a final call but this is my thoughts for now. Goodnight everyone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that shortwave pushing in from Canada has a greater interaction with the s/w driving from the southwest I don’t see how it can really amplify in this flow (this is where I may be wrong perhaps). I switched to mobile now and tougher to analyze, but it seems like the 0z euro has a greater interaction and yields this being more amped...?

wxsniss Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 0z Euro definitely looks less amped to me... I was expecting it to take this step towards GFS for reasons I listed earlier I'm in agreement with Wiz... the list of red flags I posted earlier is pretty much the same What this system does have going for it (vs. Friday) is more robust shortwave energy and a better shaped trough, so we'll see if that can overcome the negatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Closes 850 12z Monday... good banding signature roughly northeast MA to Worcester, so the 6-10 area would extend beyond indicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best rates per Euro for that NEMA-Worcester area would be ~8z-11z as 850 low slides southeast of CC I can only see h850 at 6 hour intervals (6z and 12z), but I suspect it closes and is well located before 12z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yeah for eastern SNE, verbatim 0z Euro precipitation timeframe is ~3z-14z, so ending mid-morning as Ray said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm not sure what the 18z Euro did compared to the 12z but comparing this run with the 12z run from earlier, it really cut back on the QPF everywhere. I don't have paid access that has great details so I'm going off of Maue's site. I guess that's going to happen if it's less amped, therefore less precip but it's now drier than the GFS. Go figure lol. Still a solid storm though. I'll gladly take my 0.6-0.8 inches of frozen precip and run with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 EVERYONE in here loves the 0z’s..... And the FOOKING NWS after being SO bullish the past 4 days on this storm... DOWNGRADES the storm to 5-7, with 8’s on the map. Wow. Just WOW. How has this board been SO Opposite with the NWS this weekend in 2 storms? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherX Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 6z GFS coming in with a better precip shield and a tick up in QPF on the NW flank, with the low exiting off AC versus Virginia Beach on the 0z run, nice to see. Hopefully this holds or continues to ramp up throughout today's runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually all the EPS members go right over ACK which lends confidence in this almost being a lock at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
