Typhoon Tip

Not very remarkable up to this point, here. It's windy ... nothing out of the ordinary. The winds have been less actually than some blowers over the winter. We still have diurnal mixing over the next several hours so there could be some better momentum transports.

yup, back to reality tomorrow.

looks like a zygote low pressure forming on the boundary right over you

NAM has d(t) of 14C between 980 and 800 mb over logan at 18z, so about 7C per 90mb. That's a bit steeper than standard adiabat so the mixing should be efficient. It's only put 31kts sustained at mid BL tho, so... good lapse rate at least

Euro is oscillating between blase AN air masses that end with d-drip fake wind events back to a day and half of BN ... then repeating.

yeah yeah, we know -

Man that is an ugly sfc evolution next week from the 12z op GFS. Bring back the 00z please ...

it may be that there are two disparate things going on ... Those models you mention may be over selling the mixing. But the March sun and bigger gusts aspect is real physics. It's just not clear if these models are picking up on that, or if they are just wild for some other reason. The sun's aspect may not account for the amount of overturning in the models, in other words.

Not trying to sell Kevin's roof ending up on Boston Common, but ... keep in mind, the March sun is very powerful compared to even Feb, and getting stronger by non-negligible %'s per day as we approach the Equinox. The boundary layer will bump ... Whether this is 'why' BUFKIT may appear so well-mixed or not, there is an environmental argument that convective overturning and BL expansion being proficient - just because it may be an annoyingly cold day, doesn't mean these mechanics are not in play. This is just an added aspect to concern. It's not the same CAA as it is on Jan 6 when the sun is shining from a cool azimuth.

UKMET looks a little better for warmth. Aligns that 2.5 day static look next week with the front stalled along the St Law., giving more wiggle room.

mm looks like 39mph gusts with one or two lucky 50 type stuff

Hard to feel very confident about a warm interlude in the mid range out there when the supposed better performing guidance types keep sending bulbs of +PP eastward N of a boundary that only has about 75 miles of wiggle run stretching between BUF-BOS. Climo in March? that ends up south. we'll see Looks like a classic set up for 70s that actually go onto verifying as 45ers while it's 70 in S of Newark NJ

nice ribbon echo in there

Today's melt appears more effective than any yet for the snow pack around here. It's visibly retreating by the hour. We're up to 55 and the DP's 47 let's do this

based on ?

Equinox is on the 20th this year so 2 weeks.1 ... I don't know why I sense this but it feels like the extremely low probability decent April's en route

Clocks ahead in 4 days. At least the models will be too late in the day to matter anymore. Heh, might be the best thing for the lot of us ...

I bet also these cold shots over the next week end up busting too cold - by how much, notwithstanding. We've shut off the local hemisphere's loading mechanism for cold with the +EPO, and with the solar min behind us, along with the rising solar transition over continent, this has typical machine lagging written all over it. I bet on Friday it's more like mid 40s at 3pm. METs actually 41 to 42 at HFD, FIT and ASH so ... probably being too finicky but for some reason I have this crushing nerdiness about temp recoveries in the season of spring.

it'll arrive later ... you'll get plenty of thaw time tonight and probably tomorrow when the dry slot warm sliver sends everyone to 63 ahead of the lagging CAA

actually ...much to the chagrin of my own cynicism, we're up to 50 here with a bit of an observable actual S breeze. It's in the mid 50s in ct/ri and probably thus heading here later this afternoon. We just don't have any sun. Wasting a nape potential with the proficiency of wasting cold this last winter. ha

Totally! but ... I don't believe it. It's really 58F

... showing that it's certainly possible to successfully entreaty a different response, one that did not end up in this -so far- failed acceptance of what is really true in the case of CC. How and why-for such a broadly brushed repulse to CC came about is a post vastly tl;dr It will be proven true tho, inevitably the hard way. Hopefully the hardness of heads will be proven finally soft enough to penetrate with reality, in time, but probably not. There won't likely be achieved reduction thresholds ...blah blah, resulting inimically in the horrors of "force population corrections", through both subtle and gross means... That's a dystopian not-so-fictional expose' for another sub forum thread ..etc.

The problem with post-modern society is that somewhere along the way in getting here, there's been this new reproach to everything where, if one doesn't understand something or does not like the implications of something, they don't apparently have to believe it even exists. This is proooobably precipitated out of the fake news momentum that waved through culture about 10 years ago - remember that? It was tongue 'n' cheek but ... heh, now we suffer the ramification of the "alternate reality" fixation . ..Which is a luxury anyway - take away the industrial advantages of ass wiping our consequences away whenever we are objectively false ... there's a negative feedback that leads to false morality ... in turn defaulting to this form of abstinence. It has been enabling people's approach to everything into basically a systemic lessening of returns - and ... duh duh dunnn, psychobabble science has papered that the commoner IQ is some 20 points lower than it was prior to 1920 - so, we warm the planet, and cool the intellects, then the latter re-enforces the former, and we have a nice closed feed-back loop that ensures a finality that ...well, - most are probably too stupid to believe is even possible... But that chart above? We might be surprised how little that actually means anything to the majority of population. It's a cool blue knife.
