PDIII Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 5 minutes ago, JakkelWx said: Are you saying that the temps here won't be as much as an issue than what the FV3 is showing? Snow seems to hate us across the chessy bay. Refer to the people that know what they are talking about.. seriously.. I am just weenieing out here.. but from my experience.. watching these things play out over the years.. when you get High Pressure placement like that over SE Canada.. anything 1040+ (and I have seen some runs with 1050+).. it is typically gonna be a cold storm.. and it is the temp and pressure gradient result in more lift.. more dynamics.. more precip.. and if things break right.. you can cash in on high ratios 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight rain would be a kick in the pills. It's a real concern even with all these cold runs we're seeing. Back off confluence and amplify the shortwave and something like the fv3 is in the realm. We'll see how it goes over the next 2-3 days before hitting the worry button. Imho- as long as we get good precip we're getting a good event even if there are ptype issues. Antecedent conditions are as good as any other solid event 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured it had a touch more room to climb the coast before heading out. All good. Hope you guys cash in. You’re sittin pretty for this one.

wasnow215 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 12 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: Both are pretty good analogs. Southern wave running a boundary and enough confluence to abate temp issues and also keep it from running the coast. Cold powder like both of the ones your thinking. Some of these 30 hours of snow outputs seem unlikely. Very unlikely... pattern is still progressive and h5 doesnt close off. That eliminates long drawn out solutions in my brain but the models show it so we hug 12/9/2018 FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have seen the final solution at some point over the last 48 hours. Because we’ve seen pretty much seen every possible outcome. From NC special to MA special to coastal hugger. And everything in between. Time to listen to the pros and see where this thing goes over the next 72 hours. If i can ask one weenie question.

JakkelWx Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The GEFS looks very healthy for at least a high end advisory level event for a majority of the subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 44 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: @psuhoffman Fv3 says congrats. It's still a good run everywhere honestly. Temp issues seem pretty meager overall. Verbatim would be snow to mix or zr then back to snow as the storm rolls up the coast. Boston likes the Fv3 also. Just one run but the trends today are nice. I think there is a limit to how far northwest this can go given the high on top. Those runs the other day that had a front end thump to dryslot are probably the worse case scenario for a north trend. Of course a miss south still being the worse case but quickly becoming less likely issue to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The FV3 is how we get crushed out this way. Most concerning thing would be the dryslot. And if the FV3 is right there would be a nasty one somewhere over VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It snowed but with UHI it never got cold enough to accumlate much more than an inch or two on grassy surfaces.

Probably not in the cities either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
