BOX isn’t buying the trend apparently or they’re just going with the HREF 
 

12-18 seems pretty aggressive, doesn't it?  Did I miss the temps going down enough for there to be a bigger fluff factor?  I thought this was expected to be more like white concrete than powder.

What a summer for storms...

What's so odd is that most of them didn't come through to put an end to a stretch of really hot, humid 90+ degree weather.  That's usually what drives most of the severe storms around here, if it's not a remnant of a hurricane anyway.

Actually, that is more what it reminds me of.  How a transitioning tropical storm might kick off severe weather.

And another TOR warning...looks like what started in Scituate is planning to end in Scituate....

That TOR warning appears to have a confirmed tornado with it, according to the text in the warning

Something looks like it wants to get going near Barre

Hoping a new warning will be issued soon

Wish granted...

Impressive couplet for this region 

And fairly long lived too

I wonder if storm mode was a big driver in SVR vs. TOR

They took the other MD down altogether.  I wonder if they're updating it.

The wind really picked up here in Central MA.  If clouds could get a speeding ticket, today would fill the end of month quotas.

I wouldn't want to be under any weakened trees with how saturated the ground is, even with the non-thunderstorm winds out there right now.

Be curious to see if its a Tornado Watch. Might be a consideration since its purple 

And they posted a separate MD for SCT / NY / NJ.  Would have probably made a single MD for the whole area if the threat profile was the same.

2.87. We flood. 

 

Looks like you have some additional hose there--is there a reason you didn't pull the hose as far away from the house as possible?

2 minutes ago, weatherwiz said:

upper-level divergence should continue to increase through the afternoon as the core of the jet streak continues lifting northeast

Core of llvl jet is overhead now and should remain pretty strong into the early afternoon with moisture transport maximized right over the region

 

While everything was relatively progressive earlier the east trend has definitely slowed quite a bit. Really watching down across New Jersey where precipitation is filling in and convection is beginning to blossom based on satellite.

Is that area in red at highest risk for flash flooding?

Was kind of surprised to not see this get warned.

These were the TV met calls:

 

Not sure I understand the rationale for those map projections used by fox 25 or NECN.  

Getting a bit darker now in ORH and snow picking up.  32 F light-moderate snow.

00z GFS last night also had that rip-off zone over us.  It was off in other spots though 

Looks like it captured the location of that dry slot really well though

This dry slot is brutal...do we get in on the back end that's in NY state on its way out?

Gah--ORH getting in on that dry slot

Are my eyes deceiving me--or is that double low actually panning out.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
10 AM update...

Extreme impacts being felt across the Berkshires with
widespread power outages and travel disruptions. Locally up to
2 feet of snow has already been reported. Power outages not as
widespread in northern Worcester county where around a foot of
snow has fallen as of 8 am. However, heaviest of the snow will
continue into the afternoon in this area along the northern
periphery of the mid level low with low level jet providing
strong moisture advection and forcing for ascent. An additional
8-12 inches is expected across the Berkshires and northern
Worcester hills. Max snowfall of 20-30 inches in the Berkshires
with locally up to 3 feet not out of the question. In the
northern Worcester Hills 1-2 feet is expected with worsening
conditions through the day.

Those Sterling and Holden MA numbers are impressive--I'm only a few miles from there and have about half that.  But it looks to be trying to make up for it now though.

32 f with about 2.5 inches on the ground on Worcester / Holden line.  It’s snowed steadily most of the night, but it’s not quite accumulating on the ground quickly so far.  

Ticked up to 34 here in ORH.  Still snowing, but a lot of water coming down the gutters too.
