Wasn't long duration, but would've been an awesome spot for today! Axiom this season: whenever family visits from Philly area, Philly overperforms and Boston region vomits on itself. N=3. Added frustration that they get the impression New England winters are not much different from mid-Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fill in parts over time, but you probably wont see a solid classic looking precip shield. The end of the 18Z HRRR does look interesting though for tomorrow night.

I’ve seen people claiming (not you) that they forecast CT amounts in S CT correctly when they all said the main accumulations were tonight and tomorrow.

I have no idea at this point, I learned today that my beliefs in how the atmosphere works was WRONG. The se ridge+polar vortex in Maine actually does the opposite of what I thought, it does not create a boundary for cyclogenesis, but it shreds storms. Also we are in a fast flow pattern which makes bombogenesis more difficult to occur. La Niña also apparently doesn’t cool off the oceans like I thought, meteorology is complicated and not intuitive at all. My forecast could still be right, but if it is it will be because of the wrong reasons. I have a confession to make, I don’t really know anything whatsoever about meteorology, but I am trying to learn by making forecasts and when they bust doing a post Mortem to figure out where I went wrong. Regardless it was fun to track this storm and the post mortem analysis will be interesting. One things that gives me hope though is often the bands push farther west than expected, which may help my forecast not turn into a total bust.

So there’s no way they can claim they forecast that . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
