1/9-1/10 Now Morphing to Less-Than-Exciting Power Cutter

I really think it is a distinct possibility we see widespread gusts 50-60 mph and some gusts 60-65 overnight with the line moving northeast. The mesos are really consistent in a fine line moving northeast across much of CT and points northeast. 
 

If we can get temperatures to spike in the lower 50’s that will really help I think. Latest HRRR even has some 54-55…that would certainly be sufficient. 

It is a very small window these gusts occur but it would produce damage and power outages. 

HRRRX has been ramping up each run tonight if folks  have noticed

Quick raob check, OKX had 55 knots at 925 mb. Assuming they launched on time around 23z, that's about 5 knots lower than the RAP (which is fed into the HRRR). NAM doesn't have 23z data, but knocking it's 00z forecast down a few knots has it forecasting 925 winds about 10-15 knots too high at this hour (similarly the GFS). 

Now it could just be a delay in the LLJ, but I think it's more likely the stronger winds are just more elevated than modeled.

Some in here don’t like facts if you catch my drift.

Definitely no sign of downsloping yet in spite of the wind. I don’t understand why sometimes we do sometimes we don’t with the same wind direction

It’s the inversion level IMO.  It dictates how the moisture moves over the terrain.

None of that is gonna happen here lol..too funny.  OKX is a barrier island..last time I looked, none of us in interior SNE live on a barrier island. 

Cape cod is a barrier island technically

I’ll need an explanation of that :) It is bizarre, temperature steady and heavy snow but there’s a bunch of 4-5000 footers in the direction the wind is coming from
