Hello all! Long time lurker...not sure if anyone looks at this model at all, but the HRW WRF-NSSL has a different look than the other models. Much more friendly to SNE through 48hrs. Clown map as y'all call it lol..
Is there historical precedent for surface temps running cooler than modeled in these situations? The difference between 3-6" and 8-14" in E MA/SE MA is very close... just a few degrees..
925 temps never get above -1/-2 on Euro. Should be enough dynamic cooling with those precip rates to cool the entire column?
The QPF in E MA is very impressive on some of these 12Z runs. 1.6" on Euro, 3.1" GEM, 1.8" UKMET for BOS
Based on satellite and radar returns, looks like at least 2-3 hours more snow for E MA. Definitely pleasantly surprised given the model runs yesterday.
22Z HRRR vastly different than previous runs. Bombs out the low to <970mb and shifts everything east.
Edit: 22Z RAP does the same. Round 2 looking weak/unlikely at this point.
Similar trend to the GFS on 18Z vs 12Z. 18Z GFS bottomed out to ~970 mb off the Cape, 12Z GFS was around 984mb. Would be one hell of a storm for the Cape.
Question for everybody:
My wife has to drive from Newton to Sturbridge area for work. How good are they about salting/plowing the highways? I am wondering if she should just call the day off tomorrow/Tuesday. Thanks.
Hey all, I'm new here! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so I know a decent bit about the weather out there. I'm pretty clueless about the weather around here, though. Lookin' forward to tracking this storm with y'all!
