Ya , i mean 952 off hatteras Is an exclamation point on that. When mid levels rapidly explode and close off 500 miles SE of D.C ....its a flag for That ( i have thought) But you did mention last nite there was a signal for banding up to 6 hrs in NE MA/SE NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means am I downplaying, but the real fun is during rapid deepening. Yeah there's gonna be 5" per hour over the Andrea Gail's southern redneck sister off the waters of the delmarva tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb question...what made '93 superstorm be able to drop obscene amounts so far north, when it blew its load south......and was trucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheer size of that thing was ridiculous...it literally had a WAA thump like 800 miles out ahead of it...we were getting S+ on a WAA thump while Atlanta was getting a CCB. A true triple phasing hemispheric monster...special kind of event that doesn't really follow the rules of 95% of our storms. Our WAA thump was basically coming from the Caribbean.

Same reason as this. It becomes this massive conveyor belt of moisture forced along by extreme winds (like 850-700) helping isentropic upglide...and then mid levels squeezing the juice out. The origins of both these systems allows for prolific QPF in a short time. 93 also had an arctic high proceding it which aided in the whole upglide frontogenesis. This storm does not.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Does most of the region enjoy a WAA thump in a.m ...i.e 4-5hrs? Asked this before and didnt see an answer (i may have missed it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
