wthrmn654 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Mesoscale Discussion 0156 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1158 AM CST Sat Feb 19 2022 Areas affected...CT...RI...MA...NJ...southeast NY...eastern PA...southern portions of VT and NH...northern portions of MD and DE Concerning...Snow Squall Valid 191758Z - 192200Z SUMMARY...An intense snow squall will continue to accompany an arctic cold front as it moves rapidly east this afternoon, resulting in a brief period of blizzard/near-blizzard conditions. DISCUSSION...Composite radar imagery continues to show an intense snow squall accompanying a strong cold front that was moving rapidly east (near 40 kt) across portions of the northeast U.S. at 1755z. Surface observations and time-lapse camera imagery show rapid deterioration of visibility along with accumulating snow as the snow squall moves through, with several METAR observations reporting brief blizzard conditions. In the presence of strong and focused ascent along the front through low-level convergence, low/mid-level frontogenetic forcing and rapidly cooling surface temperatures, the majority of latest high-res guidance supports a continuation of the snow squall as it moves east with the cold front through much of the remainder of this afternoon. A brief period of heavy snow along with wind gusts of 35-45 mph will result in blizzard or near-blizzard conditions as visibility is quickly reduced to at or below 1/4 mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Decent burst here a couple minutes ago. Too warm for any to stick however. Hopefully some of these squalls make it here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The temp here is up to 43, so very unlikely we will see any accumulation from the snow squall. RGEM changes it over to rain by the time it gets here too, so that's possible. Too bad the temps are not a little bit colder to make this snow squall event more interesting.

I just hit 44 degrees here. It's not going to be as much of an issue for warmer areas near the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 10 minutes of moderate/heavy snow and some gusty winds but nothing near whiteout. About 10 miles north of me got a heavy squall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Light to low end moderate snowfall during the squall. Nothing heavy enough to accumulate. Sunny again. As much as I loathe winter I’m a snow squall fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathermedic Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 From NWS OKX Twitter feed: Snow Squall Warnings are actively being considered and issued for the area from west to east. This band of briefly heavy snow with gusty winds up to 40 mph has reports of whiteout conditions with it and is moving eastward at 60 mph. These should clear the area by 5-6 PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
