I'm just amazed ... I thought that some how ...some inkling of a way, another shoe would fall on this week and maybe this Euro run being right on top of matters might get us more influence from that thing ... but nope. Every run just gets less and less and now it's hard to discern how that directly affects anyone NE of NYC at all.. Considering where we were five days ago with that - wow. I mean yeah ...one can say, 'well, it was a day five outlook' - true... But climo for this region supports this happening NEVER

Buffalo gnats .. we don't seem to get those down here in quite the swarm annoyance that y'all seem to cut the air with up there. I wonder why ... We get regular gnats but ..I haven't really ever noticed being bitten by them so I can only assume our gnats are not the same. I think gnats and buffalo gnats/black flies must be a different. But we do gnat more in late spring here than July... Actually, shortly after I entered my car close to dusk last night there was a skeeter bobbing around trying to get through the glass - we got that and the gin up of 'EEE' to look forward to... That, plus, I was reading that tick borne illness are likely going to be a big problem - though that's not garnering any headline space now, no.

It's funny how we all have our thing... For me, I don't really care about the direct sun 'as much' as I do the temperature. That's particularly true during the spring when I'd prefer to have on with the warm season, ...yet at times we recess ... If it's wet while that's happening, forget it! ugh. I'll take a 70 F day with orb disk through elevated haze and thinning OVC, which describes today where I am, and it's really nice. Other's seem to really want the blue with lazing sun to get there emotionally.

I mean I'm sorta baffled at this thing's failure to do what every system between March 15 and June 15 has done since Pangaea broke apart... One does not ever see hints of catastrophic cool misery on the guidance and end up with utopia anywhere in this god-forsaken geography. Seriously tho, if one pays attention to the isohypses, we actually never even really get into any influence from that deeper tropospheric ordeal that lodges into the TV ... And by the time it could, it's just a TUTT really that's not even closing a contour as a dent.. . The GGEM and GFS operational both have a pretty spectacular BD signature for Saturday now...Not sure if this was present on prior runs but I'm just noticing it now either way. I gotta figure, we miss this thing as verboten and then pay dearly with with 48 F PSM air fisting bums while it's +12 C at 850 that afternoon - mm hmm..
-
I was just noticing that same vis imagery/looping showing the clearing is really accelerating S .. May actually make it here to Rt poop before sundown... and also, ahead of the definitive line now entering the latitudes of CNE proper...there are thin regions in NE Mass/S NH... Those temps in Mass are too cool though
-
Yeah ... I'm with Will ... better off this way because his being "wrong" about the temperatures means we're in a relative ( though still shit-eating) win scenario with only cooler than normal but lots of sun. Although interestingly NAM MOS has bounced to 71 at KFIT on this 12z run, as early as tomorrow (Tue) afternoon here in the interior. What's interesting is that Wed is now cooler despite even more synoptic metrics indicating unabated blazing solstice sun. My guess is that 64 gets squeezed closer to 70 too ... This almost never happens? You have to appreciate the rarity of getting near utopia ( west of I-95/ ... I-495!) weather out of any suggestion at all, when in antecedent middle range ever even hints gelid misery in New England, in spring. Given absolute least excuse imagined... any suggestion for so much as shade in mid/ext range modeling at this time far more likely results in pan-dimensional, red- eyed straight-jacket apoplexy. But this... ? four days ago we bathed in Labrador death mist as a 2005 micro-redux ... then, having it go to what is modeled now.? It almost feels verboten - like we're going to be punished for such insolent expectation. I don't think has happened, ever. Models don't break wrongly beautiful over this region of the planetary/atmospheric realm - fascinating. Beyond today, this week's sensible weather may as well be a 1 in 500 year return rate oddity, and achievement that will go completely unheralded and unnoticed. tongue-in-cheek
-
Perfect ! ...my plan is complete -
-
Mmm... to be fair and more realistic - Will was dealt a highly anomalous augmentation to a pattern that really there was no way to foresee - that's a bit different than being 'incorrect' Whereas you on the other hand? Much of the time you couldn't hit a wall throwin' shit, yetstill managed to get some to stick on this particular toss - hahaha
-
What a bizarre evolution that U/A cut-off and total surroundong synoptic evolution takes for the sole intent of making Will wrong and Kevin right. Lol Kidding... It's plausible that after all those postings ... we never even deal with that thing at all. Once the Euro gets to 12z Wednesday it may as well be a TUTT at that point. The Euro just keeps getting less and less. Its not gonna be warm until Thurs afternoon tho. Thursday and Friday look like down right utopic in this run. Like 39 F DPs with 850s' over 10 C, full sun and winds west at zephyr speeds. Actually Tuesday and Wednesday aren't that bad either if an east wind doesn't bother you much - the sun will help tho.
-
But again .. that’s the virtual reality of the Euro
-
In fact that makes spatial reasoning sense from the synoptic point of view because about the time that migration takes place the cold loading from the Maritimes is breaking down so we woukd be transitioning into a continental pattern at that point washed in afterward.
-
Nah if that upper level low decays like that Euro the surface pressure pattern/baroclinicity will normalize ...then what remnants there is becomes a quasi diffused warm frontal slope that transports higher dewpoint warmer air up from the south. It would probably be partly cloudy with higher dewpoints and instability afternoon showers and thunder type of deal… In fact August Bahama blue patterns but it’s not gonna do that before that thing lifts up and just washes out entirely

Spring 2020 New England Banter & Random Obs
Typhoon Tip replied to CapturedNature's topic in New England
Hey y'all... Serious question here. Are any of you Science Fiction fans? Here's the deal. I have a tentative publication date for a Science Fiction novel, "Dominion," set for release during the 2nd or 3rd week in June, 2020. The story is not Meteorological fiction, shockingly. I think we cover all aspect of weather-related fiction in here already. I do have a Facebook page I have recently created, designated to authorial relations and exposure. Is that something you may be interested in? I have also launched ( 'launched' ha, as it was five clicks of turmoil) a new Instagram account. Despite my day-job as a DB software consultant, I am quite "neophytic" with the pan-dimensional intricacies of social media architecture and strategies. It's just not my bag, and I haven't really engaged enough with it. Nevertheless, my publisher is hot-to-trot about getting their various authors less diffident about those sorts of engagements, and so.. I now have these formats accessible. So, if anyone would like, I can send along the #'s and @'s for Insta. and FB respectively. During this staged release process ( apparently ... I am also vanilla in how this marketing in literature happens, too ) we still have to go through a cover-release, then a book release thing on FB ... and that has a PR development plan, a-to-zinc. So, right now, a PR specialist hired by my publishing house is just getting started with my project - tentatively scheduled as such. I cannot guarantee you will enjoy the work. I cannot guarantee it will be written in a meter and turn of phrase that is very pleasing to the voyager reader. But... it does deal in three component of modern science that are hot, fused of together in one creative tapestry: Biology, Psychology, and Solid State Physics, as the engineers of the story use Biology to create SSP, and inadvertently and quite consequentially voyages into spiritualism. I will also mention, the SciFi that was created as the scaffold for the thematic arc, has recently been discovered as plausibly true by Sir Roger Penrose et al... This story was conceptualized and in greater proportion, composed years prior to Penrose, so ... it's not just light sabers and blaster guns stuff. This work is a real old school science fiction in form, with a modern twist of camaraderie among characters in rich interaction that help propel the story. One may notice right off the bat ... "Meteorology" is not in that list of disciplines? I think we definitely engage in enough weather-related fiction in this social media all ready - don't you think Anyway, it is for those that may appreciate sci-fi in general. -
From a broader perspective the Euro's is objectively not as bad as all that.. however, this situations leans one's attention too closely into the discrete variations, run-to-run (I wonder...) and that might be effecting opinions. As far as the tropical aspects ... the Euro ( I have personally noticed ) is not a good performer over any Basin on earth, below the 30th parallel, when it comes to purely warm core/barotropic entities. So I compartmentalize that as typical there, and don't let that effect my own judgement on how it may or may not be handling the current shit with the mid latitudes. This cut-off has ginormous sensitivity-related matters. So 300 or 400 km adjustments, W-E, N-S in the 'where' it situates means the difference between 52 F and wet, versus 72 and late May lazing sun very sharply evaporating the edges ... a behavior typical of mid to late spring. It's like CON, NH is 71 F embarrassingly busting MOS, while it is 47 F and raining over Tolland. Anyway, ...by the time the Euro's echo swirl opens up and rejoin the flow.. any gradient it was initially triggering were both too far S, and weakening ( to mention, the higher pressure from the N attenuates), such that it is just a humid transport for New England. That's the gist of what that's showing. Either way, ...I suspect Monday/Tuesday are a cool anomalies, regardless of whether GFS wins in making them particularly wet. Even without the cut-off, there is a huge BD-esque surge of +PP pressing down out of eastern Ontario. That thing would make it cool whether that cut-off misery organized or not. So, try not to focus on the low too much ... It's going to be chilly for a day or two.. A robust surface ridging pressing down from eastern Canada sets up as easterly wind anomaly straight across/from as source of air modulated by the super warm soothing Labrador Current ... yaay! The only way around that is to have that N-stream/confluence up there be wrong too... not really related to the low. So bag Monday and Tuesday as annoyingly cooler than normal ...

Raw NAM numbers off the 00Z have nice weekend days on this run ... I mean that really looks like it’s gonna be 73 and dryer again here in the interior. Logan is going to get butt banged by a pretty potent seabreeze .. mid afternoon. That’ll work its way in but it’ll be several hours of really nice weather before that happens out through the Worcester Hills Sunday the wind is light and variable under mostly sun
-
It actually originally had that look ... flipping more dramatically so .. but then this rhea low bullied in using oddly weak initial mechanical wave space in ending up with that look, too hint hint.. could be the models are bullying it in - we’ll see. Something is going to be there… I just don’t know where to place it and I also don’t agree that the amplitude has to be correct. I think the models could be overdoing it; we’ve had periodic weaker solutions, and we’re also having trouble with continuity and that includes the euro. I wouldn’t hang anyone’s hat on the euro solution just yet. Either way this features just tainting the hell out of that original signal. If one visualizes it removed .. we have our first heat wave; the whole sensible week is being guided by this thing that just came out of nowhere about four days ago in the guidance

When that embedded supercell collapsed in Southern Hillsborough County in Southern New Hampshire it came right down through my town and it absolutely leaned the trees over we lost timber it was a very strong outflow 55 mph or more -
segways into heat wave set up at 500 mb, too -

Mmm.. give the GGEM credit for collapsing into its own ensemble mean. I expended a goodly dose of wasted energy writing a post this mornign explaining how the operational runs et al were so disparate relative to their ensemble means - this GGEM run fits it mean now.

Friday, May 15, 2020 Severe Weather Potential

A little of both .. Theoretically... 180 wind ( due S ..) if it persists for very long will impart cold oceanic influence from shelf waters in the LI Sound and/or south of the Island ... That's the termination of the Lab. current, which ...heh, at this time of year, is quite cold. A SSW wind off the M/A passing over those waters get cryo'ed. Later in the summer...after mid July or so...the surface waters will warm quite a bit in that region ( with a steep thermocline... dangle one's feet sometimes and there's a discerned cold layer lurking just beneath..).. But this early, a S wind will introduced a stable marine influence from the S. Such that a line or cluster of SB CAPE -related on-going convection that attempts to move from it's native instability condition, into this latter region, will thus encounter a loss of those metrics ...and we see the weakening when that occurs. That's "reading" in the sense of education speaking... That said, I've seen on a few times over the years ( also ) when there is a 190 to 200 degree wind direction (~), where that actually may not even reflect a very observable difference in the temperature and dewpoint layout, yet... storms still seemed to just dissipate crossing a virtual line that extends from western Long Island to about EEN - ... roughly. Seems when marginal CAPE is in the area, things get sensitive beneath theoretics ( for lack of better terms...) and storms still sniff out the toxicity of cold ocean and don't wanna play. ha but yeah As an afterthought - one could probably find some reading material on-line related to papered severe events in NE ...that discuss rotating the wind dial. Sometimes our severe happens when there is a west boundary layer wind, and then N flow aloft, such that the directional shear component of the bulk shear total is still positive, but the surface direction is still a land source. I know I have read this in the past...I just can't recall where exactly. We've had severe weather on S flows though... This isn't meant as and absolute mitigator - btw - just discussing some 'conditional limitations' that sometimes apply. We can have those EOF 0 type scud-land spots on low llv LCL higher DP deal in August sometimes... or, a synoptic ripper S/W in June will sometimes EOF 1 rake every so many years. Bottom line, this region of the country doesn't have much wiggle room and is fragile for set ups. -

Am aware of the time but I still don't buy it... The regional pressure pattern resists that position, A ... B, the dps are much higher in the 60+ range along and S of their depiction ... which aligns theoretically better. It may be 'diffused' ...and probably is destined to make it that far - maybe... But that slinking look ... where is that coming from? and how is it analysed ? interesting - -

oh I'm joking ... It's too bad you're not - You could market it as a free-for-all with low moderation standards for fun and verbalization and recess ... then, have a link/portal into a sistered site that DOES have that serious tact. My guess is the shimmering virtuosity of the 97th percentile would spend ALL their time there too - LOL -

WPC's version differs from that considerably ..
