Well I like to look at wind vectors and then apply a climo mask in my mind. So in this case, the winds very near BOS are N-NNE vs NE over the harbor. Knowing model resolution and how quickly a low is deepening as well as its movement..I may fudge it a bit here and there. 

 

You can get a sense of it here. The 12z ARW and NMM aren't available yet, but look st the winds on the 12z HIRES NAM. You can get a sense of it there.  Also those RGEM ptype charts. I know they aren't zoomed in, but look how close it is to the coast. The RPM shows this as well. Of course if this moves closer then the CF probably will move NW a bit, but they don't like to move very far NW as you know.

Euro and GFS ageostrophic wind vectors are pretty similar to each other when I look in AWIPS. Like you said, N-NNE winds at BOS plus ageostrophic flow offshore equals a tug northerly at BOS that may lock in the low level cold.

Dead serious Question, is there any Low level cold to even lock in?

 

We start around 7 am around 40 F ....are we draining lower dews down w N winds or are we locking in borderline temps (when we factor in hellacious omega)

Thanks Steve. Walt to the rescue.

LOL, I'm not losing it..I won't get much of anything...but I like forecasting too. When it's S+ and 18 at my house while MPM is pounding 3" of snow sand...we will see who loses it.

 

 

It's always amusing being the guy who's down the drain, helping those undo the noose in the far interior. :lol:

We need to have the Shawl experience the southeast side of the totals. It would set him straight. Rain at the coast in Nov comes with the territory.

We cool the surface with latent cooling as the atmosphere saturates then we have prospects of dynamic cooling later on looking at the NAM and Euro, but that is always the tough part. But we evaporatively cool to 32/33 in the interior as we saturate the column.

Well areas will wet bulb down into the low to mid 30s. Dewpoints should be in the upper 20s to near 30 sitting just over into NH. Enough that widespread rain because onshore winds torch the boundary layer to 40 seems unlikely.

DT's first call map--cautious compared to some NWS maps.

DP continues to drop.

 

52.2/30

 

I don't normally say this about him...but I honestly think that's a reasonable call for most of SNE...and he actually put it out before the 6z runs came in warmer which is what's surprising to me.

Euro is just a pinch SE of 00z...but as mentioned before, it looked slightly warmer in the low levels vs 00z and slightly colder in the mid-levels.

 

But this looks mostly like model noise to me...I think we're starting to hone in here given that the model swings are starting to be examined with a magnifying glass.

A bit warmer at sfc and colder aloft than 00z at 36 hours...kind of an odd couplet.

 

 

I thought the same, but for the interior...I think that's just noise. It doesn't matter.

 

It was a hair as will mentioned east but yeah, Noise really 5-10 miles or so, Qpf looked scaled back some from 0z, But i only see shading no numbers
