Thursday & Thursday Night Winter Storm Discussion


CT Rain

Recommended Posts

I guess I'm thinking closer to the line they're drawing. E.g., I would think HubbDave could easily be scoring in the 14-15" range. Whiteminster similar or better. I guess when I hear "around a foot", I'm thinking there would be many scoring less than a foot. Along and west of that line, I'd think the floor would be higher.

Weenie goggles, I guess.

16./14

I had been thinking 8-12" originally. In my head last night I figured a foot. The combo of the dryslot and sleet/ZR could be a big factor

I don't like that I have a dusting right now but that HRRR screams a Classic storm where you want to SE with rain issues vs. NW and lighted precipitation. Makes it like N and W of ORH doesn't get in on the heavy stuff and they change for a time anyway too. But the bad side for me is I only snow heavy for 6 hours.

Going to get a foot from 9:30am to 2:30pm? Iiiiii DTS.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0099
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0700 AM CST THU FEB 13 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...MID-ATLANTIC/NORTHEAST STATES

CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW

VALID 131300Z - 131800Z

SUMMARY...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW...WITH SNOW RATES OF 1-2 IN/HR
LIKELY...WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
COASTAL NORTHEASTERN STATES THIS MORNING. SNOW WILL INTENSIFY
ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW YORK/NYC METRO INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. A TRANSITIONAL MIX OF
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR IN COASTAL PLAIN AREAS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITHIN 50-75 MILES OF THE ATLANTIC.

DISCUSSION...A SHORTWAVE TROUGH CONTINUES TO SHIFT
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TO THE EAST OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH A BAROCLINIC LEAF STRUCTURE READILY
EVIDENT OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD IN IR/WV SATELLITE IMAGERY. A
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW IS CENTERED NEAR THE NC OUTER BANKS AS OF
12Z...WITH STRONG WARM/MOIST ADVECTION OCCURRING NEAR/JUST ABOVE THE
SURFACE IN COASTAL AREAS AS PER WSR-88D VWP/12Z UPPER AIR DATA.

THIS SCENARIO WILL LEAD TO A GENERAL NORTHEASTWARD TRANSITION OF
CONSIDERABLE UVV FROM THE DELMARVA VICINITY TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
BY MIDDAY. AS PER 12Z OBSERVED REGIONAL SOUNDINGS...SNOW WILL BE THE
DOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE ESPECIALLY FOR INLAND AREAS...WITH
SATURATED MID-LEVEL DENDRITIC LAYERS /SUCH AS 12Z ALBANY AND
NYC-LONG ISLAND SOUNDINGS/ CONDUCIVE FOR BOUTS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW FROM FAR EASTERN PA/NORTHERN NJ INTO SOUTHERN NY/SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.

IN NEAR-COASTAL AREAS...ROUGHLY WITHIN 50-75 MILES OF THE
ATLANTIC...A TRANSITIONAL MIX OF PRECIPITATION CAN BE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THE LONG ISLAND 12Z
OBSERVED SOUNDING WAS ONLY MARGINALLY SUB-0C BELOW 850 MB/1.3 KM
AGL. THIS NEAR-COASTAL TRANSITIONAL MIX WILL BE DRIVEN BY PERSISTENT
LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION QUASI-FOCUSED ACROSS THE NYC METRO
VICINITY/FAR SOUTHERN NY INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

Is that a small 12"-18" spot I see on the SW coast of Maine, including Portland? :blink: Would that be because freezing rain/sleet gets counted as snow on these maps?

Well it's titled Snow, hopefully accurately. We're predicted to get enough water for 1'+ if it does stay all snow. I feel like Portland beats the coastal forecast sometimes because Casco is set back from the Cape E and Midcoast line.

NAM wants more interaction with the midwest energy, obviously a tug NW in that scenario

If that's right first one to really buck the winter and pf cleans up. Nice.

That's a big shift inside of 6 hours so sketchy until other models arrive.

But I followed the euro prior to the 0z run and if areas around me are done with the snow it was way too cold at least prior to 0z. Food for thought for those east of the coastal front only.

Pummels the berks but even east to kevin and orh gets some additional inches, so not really extreme west at all

I was speaking of the meaty stinger .5+ which is west this run, not the flabby limp noodle portion of the stinger.

Only reason i give these things credence is the initial warmth here may mean setup a little west

In every other borderline case this year when i95 did surprisingly well I held on here as long or longer than expected. I folded up like a cheap suit way early this system
