Coastal Storm Potential - Jan 11-12 II


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

I don't think so either, but if the CF sets up over Ray, Logan WILL necessarily mix...but i agree, as of now it seems the jackpot could be Sharon again.

No! It will limit the rate but that happens all the time in 100% snow events in Boston. When BOS gets 13 inches and Ray gets 22, that's exactly why. Dynamics on the warmer side mean it's 31 and lighter snow while Ray is 19 and ripping. Sometimes its a transition zone of ptype but this storm doesn't have that signal.

I am sure they've waited to review all of the 12z data.

4pm issuance. They'll hoist Warnings for just about all of their CWA.

that was what I suspected, winter storm warnings, i bet some counties will get the heavy snow warnings the best warning money can buy.

Yeah, at this point I'd like to see some of the models spitting out a general 1.5-2" to go gung-ho with amounts approaching 20".

Thing is though if the GFS ENS or OP Euro are within 10-15% on the QPF it's a 10-20" snowstorm regionwide with temps the way they are and probably 8-16 as we approach the coast/cc

Here's the crazy uncle ukie....pretty easy to see where it's different at 500, doesn't have a breakoff lobe of vorticity to it's error or coup

nobody out in GC should give up on this one yet.

The meso models by tommorrow morning/ noon should be deveoping a good handle on where the banding / deform ....set's up. Unless you've been under a rock you have heard mets pimp these models with this storm (within their time range) in paticular.

I think a 25 mile Tick NW or not is going to pale in comparison *(for GC folk) to where these Meso models (which are suprisingly good in my time following them) show deform bands settin up..... someone could correct me but i think about 18 hours out is where their accuracy is damn good regarding banding . so i would focus alot less on modeled QPF (for GC folk and perhaps SNH as well) since i don't think globals account for these meso scale features....which from all accounts i've heard about this storm are gonna be a big deal.

The 12Z NAM is actually quite a bit less for NNE this run. So it may be falling for in line with the other models, but I would be more than happy with this as an outcome. Let's just hope this will be a trend for the GFS.

Yea, I liked the 06z run better.

This is 2004-05, displaced about 30-40 miles to the NNW......Brockton winter as opposed to Carver.

Dude--the storms 30-36 hours away. Cool the jets.

Tomorrow's going to a long day. The track seems pretty well set, so it'll be a long day/night of watching radar and staring at my flood lights like an idiot looking for the first flakes. Big difference from the last couple events where things were never really set in stone until after the snow started. Good luck!

I feel guilty for ever defending the Ukie lol.

It had that stretch last year at the beginning of the winter where it was nailing everything...basically October to New Years. Since then its kind of gone back to being a crazy model that sometimes scores a big coup, but its lacked that big coup recently. I'm sure it will bounce back, its not the Euro but its not as bad as its been recently.

You better put on the coffee--first falkes aren't coming in until after midnight.
