Some of the models had intense forcing with the low in CT. In fact almost a MAUL look there. Low in CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I’m becoming more bullish on cold drain but I’m going the MPM route of worrying about QPF if you’re rooting for a higher impact ice storm. It looks like a mundane glaze of a quarter inch or less on many of these runs. There’s still some runs that have higher but they are becoming less in the model ensemble.

While I've learned to love that northerly drain (puts a good east coast CAD to shame), the reverse southerly fire hose is equally impressive when it gets going. Looks like BTV saw the latest runs and upped the ante. 10-18'' in the WSW now. Nice. Work keeps getting in the way of me geeking out... This still could bust pretty good if the sleet is further NW... maybe convection pumps the heights a bit and the wave amps up? The 18z HRRR, RGEM, and even GFS were a tick warmer in the mid levels again...putting best snows north of here. There will be a tight NW to SE gradient somewhere along that mid-level freezing line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some of my worries. Though since I’m a pack guy, I’m fine with some sleet in the snow. Makes it durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 please excuse me for asking this, but what are you guys thinking in terms of timing on friday? My daughter is driving from Ithaca to Sugarbush and I'm thinking she's better off leaving in the morning as opposed to later in the afternoon. Thanks in advance.

I think in a general sense it’s 2-4” tomorrow morning, then 12 hours of light mixed precip, followed by 6-12” on Friday....mainly in like 6 hours. Call it 8-16” with some mix sandwiched in.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The GFS has that 170 kt jet bomb along and off the EC ...that's why it's overcoming the damming. It may just be too "damn" much even for positive static stability and inversion. That's just obscene having two flags at 500 mb over PVD... with three flags just S of there. Probably if this set up had the more 'standard' wind max we'd have had the storm S and damming wins easy but this is looking more and more like just an absurd anomaly with that absolute fantastic fire hose at mid levels. Hard to rely on conventional wisdom when said bastion of knowledge has almost no occurrence of those sort of parametrics - I admit that. I've never seen that many 150 kt + flags over that broad a swath since perhaps 1993's March event. Interestingly ... this isn't the first time I've seen those velocities this season, either.

The SLP for wave 2 has been getting stronger ea run too as it was in the 980mb range and is now low 970mb which is also causing this to track further west over SNE instead of off the coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
