luminen Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Boston NWS's forecast discussion mentions nothing of our mild foothill temps. Jeff Masters of Wunderground:The densely populated area from New York City to Boston could experience one of its ten biggest snowstorms on record early this week, as a textbook nor’easter takes shape over the next 48 hours. While local details are bound to evolve somewhat as the storm develops, the models are now in strong, consistent agreement on a potentially crippling snowstorm. Blizzard watches were hoisted on Sunday morning from eastern New Jersey to northeast Massachusetts, including the New York, Providence, and Boston metropolitan areas. Despite the increasing skill of computer forecast models in recent years, this week’s threat emerged remarkably quickly. As recently as Friday, the model consensus was for a weaker storm that would sweep through the region from west to east, then strengthen well offshore. One of the first models to switch gears was the ECMWF, whose operational run issued at 00Z Friday night highlighted the risk of a potential blockbuster storm for the Northeast U.S. By Saturday morning, most other models had quickly joined the bandwagon. “All operational models now have the forecast of a major snowstorm/blizzard,” said NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center on Sunday morning. The driver for this record-threatening event is a strong upper-level wave now diving across the Midwest. In line with the pattern of several other storms this year, this wave will produce a stripe of snow from northern Indiana and Ohio into Pennsylvania, dropping several inches on the Washington and Philadelphia metro areas by Monday afternoon. On its heels, a powerful branch of the jet stream will continue diving southeastward, intensified by a unusually strong ridge over the western U.S. that produced record highs across Washington, Oregon, and California on Saturday. As it moves off the mid-Atlantic coast, the upper-level energy will consolidate into a powerful upper-level low and generate a rapidly intensifying surface low. Surface pressures may drop by more than 24 millibars in 24 hours, qualifying the storm as a true coastal “bomb". Sea surface temperatures are well above average off the northeast U.S. coast, which could help fuel the storm’s strengthening. As it reaches peak intensity on Tuesday, the surface low is expected to slow down just southeast of Cape Cod, which would keep the snow machine going at full strength and lash the New England coast with winds gusting to 60 mph or more in places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antipex Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yesterday I biked up to Council Crest in t-shirt and shorts – it was in the low 60s down here in SE Portland and even warmer up above 1000 ft at the summit! I only felt chilly coming down through Goose Hollow, where it seems a pool of cooler air had settled in against the east side of the hills. The temperature difference over a few miles is amazing today. It's 59 at about 200 ft elevation near Laurelhurst Park with hazy/murky sunshine, and 49 at PDX about 5 miles to the north.

richard mann Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 -More positive "spin" perhaps, and not wanting to focus too strongly on the Alaska's at least starting to get colder at this point idea, … @ .. @ / @ — This with the idea that this more current propensity could [in fact] be just more temporary: with the higher latitude wave more currently moving through it perhaps being more, only that, and not followed by others, … None the less hopeful, and where looking at the advent more positively, what I'm looking at are two main ideas set along with, or even more against, how things might be being looked at otherwise, mainly and more basically "the models", out to 7-10 days. First the models—and if with my marking the idea here important to it, that I probably have a fairly unique perspective regarding what they generate, as with my in fact not wanting to distort my view where working to assess to project main colder air mass movement where looking ahead with using more seat-of-the-pants methods, I don't check them. .. With checking the main "verification" of the main European model, I'm noting that in fact it didn't "catch" the current wave of cold moving through Alaska—certainly not very well—at 7 days. .. This with then my other main thought being, if repeated here, that with broader cold—i.e. that through the main mid-latitudes, together along with to a certain extent those higher—per my view being in general recession mode at this point (i.e. back toward its main higher latitude source regions north, essentially recoiling following a better distribution of cold more south.), that this whole idea more general where looked at, and if allowing warmer air to move more northward, is at the same time, working to allow for better general consolidation of main and more primary cold north.
