Typhoon Tip

It's also beyond frustrating for warm weather/seasonal winter can go f-urself enthusiasts to the point of comedy watching these models' extended fields seemingly go out of their way to deconstruct said change in lieu of an apparent agenda to keep January eternally during CC ... jesus

Plus ... the Euro has done this for 5 f'n straight years when going from D4 --> 6's ... it takes anything it sees over Colorado and turns it into a mid tropospheric juggernaut ...spontaneously creating the kinematics to do so. Same thing here...That thing is barely denting the geostrophic medium at D4 and then it's Dec 2005'ing from seemingly no where S of LI two days later... But, ...eventually it'll wrong its way right at least once -

If this sets up ... then ding dong the wicked witch is dead -

Last official snow of the season mid week? Certainly not impossible I that flat suppressed look

This is probably the most deep tropospheric momentum event that I’ve seen around here in many years actually… We’ve always had them once in a while pop up in guidance but 55 mph gusts are like the 1 SD gusts average departure here ... which is pretty f spectacular.

Cloud tags ‘ill be a riot moving at hurricane sky-scape speeds.

Meh... I like the Euro for Sunday ... day has ginormous diurnal potential, with surface -ridging induced calm and likely deep DP decoupled air, the morning is very chilly, but the "dry warm frontal passage" appeal is very evident. 700 mb RH is low all day, so clouds are sparse, and the wind is W, while the 850 mb temperatures rise from -4 C (~) to + 5 C (~) over CT by 00z Monday. I could see that day surging from 25F to 64F in the CT river valley and it'd be warmer than that if the mixing gets better. It's also trending in the run...which the the last three cycles have been showing more SE ridge influencing the general circulation up-down the eastern seaboard, gradually more so... So, we may not be done cooking up a warmer regime for Sunday and Monday. And, the cold thickness layout others are gushing over ... that's been (typical for model behavior in April) modulating a tick or two less amped per run. I could see this breaking better than the mids/ext. complexions ... Particularly in the GFS - that model seems to have 0 ability to seasonally modulate the hemisphere during the huge accelerations of spring. It does this every year ... Take any initialization on April 7, and it'll absorb the present back into a January look by the time it gets to D10, instead... It's like running the physics organically proves that it is missing seasonal variance - interesting... Anyway, it's going to be obnoxious for warm weather enthusiasts... but there are reasons to recoup a few hours here and there which can help out.

That's a pretty potent wind signal in the Thursday overnight into Fri morning ...

lol echoing my frustration

heh...I typed freeport but i actually had bangor-ish in mind... but yeah it's all probably a tick or two lat/lon too soon by those other guys. who knows.

GGEM doubled down on the Freeport Maine blizzard of April 2020

I'm willing to argue that these phases are concomitantly being suppressed this last winter by the HC expansion that is getting more pervasive with every passing season of accelerating climate change. As the seasonal height compression is relaxing, it's merely exposing opportunity for these flow structures to emerge. I actually personally anticipated this a month ago and posted that we'd head into a blocky spring - It's causing unusually fast, balanced tropospheric mid and upper level winds and propagating wave space speeds there in, and it's not allowing those meridional resonances to get feed-back established such flow structures such that they can persist for any length of time - they just get blasted and ablated away. The MJO at times this recent winter was incoherent, yet the pattern et al resembled a historically powerful phase 5 MJO much of the time for a reason ...separate from the MJO ( as logic therein dictates...); it's most like the cold normal hemisphere of winter in excessive compression against the expansion of the HC, which is garnering lots of scientific attention and is papered at this point.

34" total here... pretty sure that's 3/5ths of normal (~)... That's going by snow alone

The operational versions of every model are holding out on cold to the bitter end. The GFS is particularly atrociously either negligent of the seasonal forcing of oh ... a trillion-trillion-trillion-trillion-trillion ton perpetual fusion bomb eye-balling the hemisphere, or, it's going to succeed in a once in a 500 year cold pattern on top of a back-ground uncompensated GW signal... Hmm, which way should we go - I'm inclined to think that the it's just negligently constructed around solar fluxing. It does this at this time of year, every f year... It starts out D2 through 5 with some semblance of in situ pattern awareness ( though mishandles it for other reasons..), then, slides right back into January. Go back the last 100 cycles of this model and look at any D10 ... it's more like a mild pattern in January at best, otherwise, just absurd. The GGEM and Euro, however, are also cold relative to the CPC teleconnectors, too. That said, obviously these models don't give a ratz azz what the GEFs curves do; they are not part of the GFS' family genetics. I don't know what the Euro or GGEM fields look like based upon their own ensembles ... but the EPS general appeals tend to rarely stray very far from the operational at the scales of pattern management, so.. they probably kill summer and never snow too I think the operational GFS is useless most late Marches into first halves of Aprils, more so than the usual head-scratching as to why that useless p.o.s. shit model is given its portion of carbon footprint to run at any time of the year beyond D4. Going back several years, I distinctly recall it over and over and over, flooding lower Canada with mid January thickness in it's D7 to 12 ranges as a plaguing model bias during most springs.

mmm I live along Rt 2 (essentially) and it ranks probably #4 on the all-time list of having had the region's winter enthusiast head stuffed in Satan's ass

Exactly like I said ... coming in gradually less amplified and/or up the St L. Seaway just like exactly no other system portrayed in the Euro has ever failed to do in 30 months... Thanks for playing along with the lost con-game of the year. All this trough does? ... spring arresting cold ...nothing else. heh, it's like the models have been churning run out of the Pandemic's basement -

Nah it’s most likely that Euro runs over doing that amplitude just like it’s never not done re anything in that time range for the past 30 months

I’m jealous. There’s nothing else going on in this godforsaken shitty mess of a world we live in and the weather can’t be any worse than rain at 37 fn deg it’s got me run down and wishing I could just see a snowstorm in April. I’m not gonna lie ... if it’s a big event any April I’ll take it to the bank. But at this point snow might be interesting diversion

because 1070 mb highs happen all the time

Does look like Sandy in an homage - Those individual members are 'perturbed' which just means they have variant physical equations ...but that means the convective processes are handled slight different, creating different system-internal thermal handling ... This was evidenced as warm secluded already, so it meandering over a tepid SST G-string out there ...it may be taking on 'faux' profiles due to version-based thermal surplus... If/when it did take on 'real' ST characteristics probably requires analysis after the fact.

Looks like the 12z NAM is cooling the 800 mb to SFC thermal profile in the last 18 hours of this retrograde event enough to offer 'chutes/paws for the Worcester Co and probably Middlesex ...west of I-95.. http://www.atmos.albany.edu/gopher-local/albany/FOUS61 BOS 36013955313 -2208 120428 45040000 ...

This thing tomorrow night ... I thought it just a 'spoke' of vorticity orbiting around a west Atlantic/-NAO spring cut-off climo, but it's more than that. This is a 'hook and latter' Nor'easter. The low is retrograding west and places the region inside its envelope - this isn't a mere spoke rotating around.

GFS has done this every years since about 2005 ... It fails to negotiate its way out of winter into seasonal change. Way back whence ... circa 1993, I remember there used to be winter algorithms and summer algorithms in the models - then it was the 'MRF'. I'm pretty sure.. I thought over the evolution that was no longer the case...but, the GFS did this last year and year before, and the year before that ...etc.., where it gets beyond day 10 and the whole fields goes back to Jan 15 at this time of year. Interesting -

Saturday then opens up spectacular ...could be a first top 10er day of the year. 850's +2 C SE of a Rut-Con line... with PGF focusing a subtle d-slope look, and RH flooring/open sky .. it could snow Friday morning at least in the air, and have that be 66 F the next afternoon in that look... I don't actually care as much suffering April shitz weather if it's going to modulate mercy the next day like that - fine!
