Midweek Storm DISCO


DomNH

Recommended Posts

I would think an icestorm would be more likely to happen with a warm front, not a cyclone sitting on the benchmark. Warmer air riding up and over colder air with strong high pressure north of new england, low level cold oozing down the valleys. Certainly dont envision that with cyclogenesis to our se and no HP to our north.

The GFS run created an Ageo drain of low level cold, the 6 Z Nam closed ML centers south of us, lots of floppy stuff today.

It's a tough call yet again... gee wiz.

In any event, I'm impressed with the rad presentation along the Mohawk Trail upstream this afternoon. This kind of 30DBZ fuzz in 25/10 type air mass is high ratio low visibility stuff. I don't perceive this as a "dry up" scenario because it is not based on either CAA, or s-base instability, but has got mlv dynamical support. I think 1-spot 3" totals should sweep through the area.

The storm mid week is puzzling. The 12z GFS has all snow at FIT per point-click MOS product at Weathertap, and the synoptics are not impossible, yet the warm solutions forcibly entered on the 12z guidance.

I still see colder solutions as favored despite these runs, but may capitulate if things appear different on over the weekend.

Part of the reason why is because the west to east component of the flow is where most of this amplitude is stored... The north south is relatively shallow. In other words, we don't necessarily need the more typical Dekotas longitude ridge axis; particularly also when the flow is highly compressible over FL - that ain't hurting anything. Also, the PNA is rising, so the correction vector is pointed toward more western heights out in time, probably somewhat E as well. ...how much remains to be seen, but envision a model byproduct that shades the top of the ridge axis polarward.

We've got a winner, John.

I'm a little north of the Trail. S+, big flakes. Vis down to about 1/4 mile attm.

Fingers crossed for more wintry than wet on Tuesday.

18.6/13

LOL I agree , need closed ML centers South and East, Nam looks floody,, let's see what evolves, multiple solutions all over the place. Ya know flopping around., payback is a biatch you guys roasted me all winter last year. I have my targets lined up, LOL

I disagreed that the 2nd half would be "la EPIC" last year and I was right.....I thought this year would be a good winter, but not epic.....jury still out.

I suspect tomorrow will be one of those days where each NAM run gets colder and colder as it senses the LL cold, snowpack, and how strong /cold the high is.. Can already envision it happening

BOX basically lock a cold scenario

Sort of Euroish

MONDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF SNOW.

NEAR STEADY TEMPERATURE AROUND 14. EAST WINDS AROUND 5 MPH.

.TUESDAY...SNOW AND RAIN LIKELY. NOT AS COOL WITH HIGHS IN THE

MID 30S. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 70 PERCENT.

.TUESDAY NIGHT...FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW LIKELY. PATCHY FOG. NOT

AS COOL. NEAR STEADY TEMPERATURE AROUND 30. CHANCE OF

PRECIPITATION 70 PERCENT

I really don't think anything you just said is valid.

It all depends on how the models develop and track the developing coastal low and the orientation of high to the northeast. The NAM is just too tucked in to the coast and floods us with easterly winds as opposed to the GFS that develops the low early enough to start the ageostrophic northerly drain.

The Euro, on the other hand, doesn't really develop any coastal low and results in rain... but at least no flooding.

You are not on the hit list. But that jury is about to give a historic decision. Long rangers are pimping Feb by the dozens. Just let JB in the back door, he brought in another kegerator.

This is a pretty impressive radar depiction for what the models were showing... looks stronger than progged.

Snow growth is maximized up here in the north and we've got an inch so far... but I think the radar out of the Albany area looks even more impressive. 30dbz+ in this environment is 1"/hr or more snowfall rates. High ratio and low visibility stuff like Tip said.

Sh*t. I'm supposed to return from Jamaica Friday night, connecting through Pittsburh. If that gets canceled, I'll be pissed. Happy if the outbound does and I can cancel, but not the return. NO......................

Come back Thursday night. I am but I always was. If there's a hint of earlier, I'll head out mid day.

You know how you media guys say ponding on the roads,that would be oceans on the roads.

lol no kidding.

It's a weird setup I think we need the streams to remain separate and that southern stream to pop the coastal as soon as possible and track it near the BM to lock in the cold. Solutions really turned ugly today, unfortunately.

That doesn't sound like ice to me......

S+ continues.

I don't doubt that.....I told you I have been hedging snowier than my outlook for awhile now, but my call is what it is......no changing.
