Hurricane Andrew could be rumbling up the Merrimack and I'd take the under on winds in ASH. Way under simply because of our terrain... and the fact we're apparently higher than Cape Cod on this map. I'm expecting gusts up to 50 mph around here personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The NAM also appears to have too much cold air in the boundary layer considering the degree of cold air initially in place, along with the fact that there will be very strong Atlantic inflow which will tend to moderate the thermal profiles in the low levels."

I mean the 12z definitely went north of the Euro, but the overnight NAM matched the Euro pretty good and was essentially a downscaled version of the Euro. Could the NAM be wrong? Sure, but I would bet on the low level GFS being wrong first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "EURO" is doing this, the "GFS" is doing that... it seems like they don't want to take responsibility in their own "forecasts" anymore. If something goes wrong, they'll just blame NWP models. They have literally no forecasting value anymore because of it. Anyone can "rip and read" model output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 1 hour ago, jbenedet said: I think Central NH on North should have higher totals with this. Monadnocks could do really well also. With the further east track early on, the mid levels don't get torched. This is true for VT and North Western ME as well. I think a lot of the qpf early on could fall as snow. Thoughts? One thing for sure. Its a warm sunny day up here. 47F at 1100 feet. This airmass is so warm. Of course we are getting into spring so can have these warm days and blue bomb the next.

TalcottWx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Harvey What I know: there will b serious coastal flooding, there will b powerful & damaging NE winds, there will be very heavy rain. What I don't know: will heavy rain eventually change to heavy, wet snow in The Boston Metro Area.

tamarack Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 1 hour ago, DomNH said: True. I guess I should preface it by saying I'd only want snow if it was double digit mashed potatoes with shotgun blasts. Anything short of that I'm all set. You don't really want that. I had double-digit (barely) mashers in late Feb 2010, from 4:1 globs so wet that they couldn't accumulate even on large branches, but would splatter off onto the ground. I didn't try, but was confident that if I'd scooped a handful of snow and tried to make a snowball, water would've streamed out thru my fingers. Had no working snowblower, and moving that mess off the driveway was monumentally harder than clearing the 24.5" storm that came 370 days earlier. (Also done with snowscoop, and had to push snow over tall pre-existing snowbanks for that one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 13km Euro never gets ORH warmer than 36 (on the synoptic hours snapshot). Is that also too cold? GFS doesn't get ORH into the 30s until 06z Saturday. I don't like tossing the NAM altogether one bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Actually the NAM forecast sounding for EEN in Bufkit does exactly what you would call dynamic cooling. At 15z, 850 mb warm nose around +2 again. But over the next three hours, that lifts and cools until it is gone by 18z. And rips isothermal heavy snow into the early evening (20+").

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I don’t usually do the whole analysis of others thoughts thing, but I think calling for no snow in marginal areas is a defense mechanism. If it doesn’t snow..: they were right, if it does snow, they get snow. They go home a winner regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
