OceanStWx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 You can see it right in the station obs plots. The LCI/1P1 barbs are 270-290° and LEW is about 350°. And IZG is calm. Our WRF and the HRRR actually do a good job at keying on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I totally missed that...that's pretty awesome meso-scale stuff. Looking again at OceanSt's image, its obvious how the low level flow is from those barbs.

powderfreak Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 beautiful down here,perfect day I can't remember such a cold few days this early in September since I've been here. It's like 50-52F has been the ceiling the past 72 hours. Temps rise up through the 40s and hit a brick wall as they approach 50F. Woodsmoke smell drifting through town and heat on, windows closed tight. If it goes back to 70+ (which it will Indian Summer style), it's going to feel downright hot. Hard to believe BTV had a 74F overnight low temp like 8 days ago lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVL averaged 41.0 for that same stretch (I think they are about 51 for this most recent 3 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta imagine MVL was lower than a 51F average lately or is that including the last day of warmth?

Nice winter followed though in 2000/2001 It won't include today's misery, so I suspect that it will drop several degrees if I look tomorrow.

mreaves Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Pretty chilly teeing off at 9:15 this morning. Looking at the MPV obs shows temps in the lower 40s and WC in the upper 30s. Popped up to 52 after the sun came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So nice to see the sun after like 72 hours of inversion. I'm surprised the foliage seems very weak and mostly green or brown-green right now, even up high at 3000ft. Hopefully the cold spell will jump start it...wish we can get some high diurnal ranges in the coming couple weeks...I want like 70/35 type days with sunshine.

wxeyeNH Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Powder, I've decided I just don't like the look of Mansfield. Never really thought much about it but some mountains are just more appealing than others. Mount Washington is a good looking mountain but Mansfield just looks "weird". We need to bring up a few thousand bulldozers and build a nice peak to the ridge. Already down to 44F up on th hill as of 8pm, winter closing in quickly!

We need to bring up a few thousand bulldozers and build a nice peak to the ridge. Already down to 44F up on th hill as of 8pm, winter closing in quickly! Camels Hump to me is the most aesthetically pleasing mountain in VT...I agree, Mansfield is more a "wall" than a mountain. There are many others like it along the Green Mountain spine. Like Sugarbush ski area/Lincoln Peak/Mount Ellen are very similar in just a long ridgeline up near 4,000ft with smaller "peaks" along the ridgeline...Same with the Killington area and why Killington occupies "7 peaks"...all along the same ridge. VT is in essence a lot of ridgelines, two in particular. The Orange Heights area up through Walden, and the Spine. The Adirondacks and Whites have many more stand-alone peaks. However, the benefit is the orographic effects of precipitation is much more enhanced in VT over the other areas in general because the air is forced up and over the higher ridgelines...where as with stand alone peaks the air can flow around them. I know the NWS has stated this as to why the Greens get more snow than the Adirondack high peaks...you get a larger area of concentrated rising air, instead of air that is able to go around a summit cone. This is Camels Hump from Lake Champlain...which is still situated on a 2,000ft ridge but the peak has more relief than a lot of other VT mountains. This is Mansfield viewed from the south...you always only see it from the side in my photos, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what you need, a wetter summer, but then a dry sunny fall with warm days, cool nights, but also equally important no hard freezes.

Well we absolutely torched the first week of September so my guess it will accelerate soon with the next cold shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
