Typhoon Tip Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just April being April ... If the sensible weather were not agonizing to the greatest possible number of individual souls ... almost like an atmospheric goal, it would be an epic anomaly. The operational runs also show a myriad of typical spring -related variability, both from run to run, and with respect to one another. But the big high's slow retreat into the maritimes is the one feature they deal, and it will most likely plague an east wind -- to what extent remains to be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy4Confluence Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You've gotta think that the Merrimac Valley picks up at least a sloppy inch looking at the 12z nam. I mean, it looks around -5C at 850 with lots of moisture left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Problem is our down sloped topography in backed flows behind cfronts; has to really crank to overcome drying from the combination of atmospheric compression and CAA. And the models enable false anticipation because they ruitinely fail to resolve that compound mitigator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The NAM does look nasty for later tonight with that temp crash and still ~0.20" liquid for BDL after the boundary layer goes under 32. Will be interesting to watch this play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedsnow Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Gfs doesnt look half bad either The NAM does look nasty for later tonight with that temp crash and still ~0.20" liquid for BDL after the boundary layer goes under 32.

JC-CT Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The downpours are pretty awesome under that nice blob of yellow and orange here in Glastonbury. Was very low visibility for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Obscene amount of water flowing out of the mountains. 1,500ft is more patchy in snow cover by the hour and that had 6-7" liquid equiv in 15" a couple days ago. In 48-hours we've released 6" of water and the flood warnings are flying left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 the differential in gusts between the ground Davis at 30 and the 300 ft Tower one at 68 is substantial Pretty steep inversion...the frigid water to our south this time of year is helping with that. If this were September or October, we'd probably have 70F dewpoints and mixing down frequent 50-60 knot gusts. We have a really strong and lowered LLJ, but just can't mix it down very well. But even with that we're getting 40 knot gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
