Still liking that post Christmas period but I sure hope we get a bit of a mild up moving into January or get an early spring in March. This cold/wind is horrible.
There should be some decent frontogenesis that crosses the region. Still have a quite a bit to iron out with the details but there should be a sizable swath of 1-3 inches. Def some concerns with boundary layer temps in some spots, but that won't be much of a concern if we get a decent precip. shield and a far enough south track.
Driving to Hartford soon for the Wolf Pack game. Haven't been since opening night (boooo) but trying to leave a tad earlier to avoid any squalls that might come in as early as 6
All of the snow in my backyard is gone...vanished. Outside of some bare spots along the fence line which is hit by the sun, there was probably a good couple inches of cover still. I can see gradd, mud, and melted dog poop
We've steepened up the 2-6km lapse rates well. Gusts here in Springfield are becoming more frequent and a bit stronger too. Really curious to see what the next 1-2 hours brings, especially with the thinning overcast on satellite.
I would definitely watch for some low topped convection to evolve this afternoon and move across Rhode Island and interior southeast Mass. Wouldn't even rule out the potential for a very brief tornado. You can see some convection developing south of Long Island now. We get any convection with thunder/lightning and we may see some 70-75 mph gusts (not widespread but very localized).
A pretty impressive satellite presentation this morning and you can see some embedded areas of convection which have contributed to some locally stronger gusts. Noticing some breaks too just to our southwest, so something to watch as we move through the next 3-4 hours.
When I was at WestConn, one semester during my broadcasting class I had made a snow map for a potential storm we were getting (I don't remember the year). But I had text saying, totals could shift depending on track...but I wrote shit and didn't catch it until we reviewed the video in class.
I literally have no clue what is wrong. Over the past week or two I've been making some insane typing errors. Like I am typing stuff that is not matching what I am thinking in my head...like missing words of a sentence or using incorrect verbiage (like saying uncertain but forgetting to add on "ty"...things like that). so weird
Its a cesspool for weather...absolutely horrible. Believe it or not though, I think its actually worse for severe weather than it is in winter weather. The severe weenies on there are awful
