He's actually not that far from the airport...just northeast of it....but hes below Moreland hill down around 650 feet. He may be getting a little blockage from the southern part of the airport escarpment to his SSW.
NAM is "tamer" than the RAP...has merely 65-70 knots at 950mb over most of SE MA....though a small pocket of 75-80 knots or so tries to brush UUU-EWB over to the Cape.
The 900mb level is just as impressive though. The difference is the NAM is trying to hold a weak inversion over interior SE MA between 900-950 while the RAP does not.
Lol, RAP has 85 knots over SE MA at 950mb for 21z today. Bob, Butterfish, ranude241, SouthCoastMA, and Tblizz's houses flying off the foundation if that verifies.
Yeah we’re just not going to see a big gradient from coast to inland like usual. He said to kevin you need to be on the beach for this. That is false in this type of setup.
Yeah usually in winter when these southerly events happen, the coastline is the warmest with a stubborn inversion and CAD over the interior. It is the opposite now.
Sell the Euro for now...marginal setup there. Also, guidance seems to really be having trouble on which shortwaves to focus on later in the week. Each model seems to have its own solution.Not much agreement.
As far as compaction in April goes, I remember vividly the 2nd storm of back to back in April 1996 in ORH...we got clobbered with about 16”. I remember the snow was heavy until mid to late morning. I measured a depth of around 14-15” at 1030am...not even 4 hours later it was about 37-38F and overcast after the snow had fully stopped for a couple hours. I measured about 7” of compact cement. I couldn’t believe how quick it had settled.
Yeah it’s about 250-275 higher than his place. The house is around 1500. Not a huge elevation difference but in a marginal setup it can matter.
Also, it’s April and compaction is going to be big once the sun comes out. Looked sunny in that pic.
This still mostly sucks. 48F with full sun on 4/11 is kind of pathetic.
It beats 40F and misery mist but I want 60+ if it’s going to be sunny.
At least we can get outside for a little bit this afternoon so it could be worse.
