Snow weenies rejoice! GFS V17 goes from 13 to 9 km for horizontal resolution in Oct. Scott counting the days now for the first day of meteorological winter! LOL. pns26-29_Science_for_GFSv17.pdf

One last chance this season for it to look "VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL" out there!

SE MA OES in later April? "Unprecedented!" CoastalWx will be out during overnight shaving off every tenth of an inch for max total snow! NORLUN apparent. I like the -31 C at 500 and -10 at 850 and the axis of the 500 trough right overhead.

Instant PT?

From my contact in Woburn, 5 days w/ thunder this month now. 5 TS days is pretty good. That's what normal in July this area. CoastalWx still MEH though I bet!

I'll save CoastalWx the trouble -- WCWGTH??

4/18/1996 27 inches of snow over the last three days from an upper level low pressure system raised the snow cover on top of Mount Mansfield, Vermont to an impressive late season 135 inches.

Try that week in third week of May 2006, "endless Nor'easter" capped off by the bow echo and tornado at Hampton Falls NH later.

Or winter equivalent "DIAMOND DUST AT 30,000 FT!"

Scott needs another 6/1/11 wicked CG supercell show like he had when living in Dorchester. Right, biggest svr wx day in years and he still has a Bruins playoff party at his house, and of course he loses power! I know, another "PC jolt" he got from the +CG strike some years ago!

Reports from ME/NH/VT absolutely spectacular LTG show for April this evening, and still going strong Downeast ME as I type this! Find me an event in April w/ more CGs in several hours in New England! I checked the mid-level lapse rates plots on the NAM, nothing special, but that is 700-500. If you look at 750-600 on the soundings, they were as high as 7.0 C/km. so there you go. MUCAPE ahead of the SQLN were as high 1500, most of it elevated. 0-6 km shear 50-60 kt. Even CoastalWx *has* to be impressed! He recalls the crazy LTG shows that overnight in Feb 2016 RI/SE MA? Basically a ring of fire in April this week. Strong ridge SEUS and direct feed flow straight from Plains to put an EML into NEUS. BDF?, no problem!

Had nice white VIL core on Radarscope for two scans. Usually, that is enough for a SVR.

Scott PT?
