GFS....the "wetter" of the two models does have a &gt;.10" swath up through Eastern Connecticut. The question is ....will this precipitation fall as snow down to the immediate shoreline?&lt;br /&gt;As of 5PM Saturday, I am thinking dewpoints are pretty low and this is key for evaporative cooling. They range from 12 @ KOXC to 24 @ KIJD and even a low reading of 17 @ KBDR! The precip will occur during the "cold time" of the day and thicknesses are favorable for -SN.&lt;br /&gt;I think dusting to maybe 2" will cover it. 2" may be a bit tall for this event......I think 1" will be common East of the CT River.&lt;br /&gt;We shall see!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-7851702310787811085?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/7851702310787811085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=7851702310787811085' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/7851702310787811085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/7851702310787811085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow-jokethe-first-inch.html' title='Snow Joke...The First Inch?'/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-7703881278983909503</id><published>2008-07-02T16:04:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-02T16:20:53.521-05:00</updated><title type='text'>7-2-2008  PVA - NVA anyone?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Finally another update! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Time has really been flying by lately.

I was taught in Meteorology school back in The United States Marine Corps to make vorticity your friend.

I think we will be very close to these temperatures.....possibly setting a new record.Enjoy it and have a great rest of the week&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-988000703417251610?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/988000703417251610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=988000703417251610' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/988000703417251610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/988000703417251610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2007/10/happy-tuesdaywe-are-in-for-some-cloudy.html' title=''/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-7039231138845723825</id><published>2007-10-01T17:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-10-01T17:33:00.352-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Rain Gods?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RwF1iyamKII/AAAAAAAACes/LK7fHQk-IEc/s1600-h/sfc.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116499892178921602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RwF1iyamKII/AAAAAAAACes/LK7fHQk-IEc/s320/sfc.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RwF0_CamKHI/AAAAAAAACek/Jx5bd6MpvFI/s1600-h/sfc.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another pattern with large high pressure locked in across the Northeast!

A huge ridge across the Northeast is delivering some really nice weather with blue skies and cool temperatures. Many stations in Connecticut were down to 32f this morning. &lt;br /&gt;The severe weather is once again alive across the midwest and what is that low off of the North Carolina coast? This is a really interesing feature. There are some indications of this low trying to go warm core over the next 24 to 36 hours! Yes, warm core about a month before the official start to hurricane season. The GFS modeled this going warm core yesterday. I have already noted some gusts over 50kt in NC as the pressure gradient tightens. Let's see how this unfolds.&lt;br /&gt;I am expecting some big temperature contrasts between inland and shore communities tomorrow and Wednesday. 60s to 80s.....stay tuned!!! -Gil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rj9LSK6yDxI/AAAAAAAABWw/Ocq7t9XGNWc/s1600-h/sat_surface.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rj9LSK6yDxI/AAAAAAAABWw/Ocq7t9XGNWc/s320/sat_surface.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061847281728360210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-3592674955966288228?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/3592674955966288228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=3592674955966288228' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/3592674955966288228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/3592674955966288228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2007/05/interesting-pattern.html' title='An Interesting Pattern'/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rj9LSK6yDxI/AAAAAAAABWw/Ocq7t9XGNWc/s72-c/sat_surface.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-4360889816635917783</id><published>2007-05-02T20:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-02T20:36:21.540-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Great Weather Day</title><content type='html'>Clouds and drizzle lingered for a few hours this morning across the state before clearing midday.

QPF totals were much lower than predicted by the NAM and GFS! &lt;br /&gt;We are looking at a prolonged period of fair weather. High pressure will slowly build in across New England from Central Canada. I am a little concerned about Sunday as a NE flow may try to get going. There are some hints of Drizzle and low clouds for NE Mass. I will watch that closely.&lt;br /&gt;A weak cold front will wash out over Connecticut Monday Night and Tuesday Morning.

As I post this today @ 10:30Local, temperatures are already climbing through the 60s. I will be interested to see if an onshore flow keeps temperatures locked in to the middle 60s near the water. &lt;br /&gt;The satellite shot tells it all. Big bubble...no weather trouble!

I am amazed at the QPF output for the next precipitation event. Okay...that's not all. Some incredible winds in the grid data just off the deck through 850mb.A strong LLJ with 70+kt moisture rich flow. &lt;br /&gt; This QPF profile favors some serious flooding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RiE0hLqfeBI/AAAAAAAABRk/OcwZywqdhYc/s1600-h/GFS+TOTAL+PRECIP.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RiE0hLqfeBI/AAAAAAAABRk/OcwZywqdhYc/s320/GFS+TOTAL+PRECIP.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053378001557747730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ground is quite soggy in many locations. run-off will rapidly contribute to rising river levels. We are talking about a dose of roughly 2" in a six hour period tomorrow. Urban flooding could be serious.&lt;br /&gt; Wind damage possible. Especially with a wet soil profile. this will need watching. Power outages a possibility. One good thing to note here....no leaves on the trees........so yes, one good thing! &lt;br /&gt; It is also interesting to note some temperature profiles. The 2m temps cool midday on the GFS. Plus, at the start.....850 temps are less than 0c for much of the state. The NAM is opposite this time...go figure. The warmere GFS solution verified last event back on Thursday. Now the GFS is colder than the NAM. I still think thicknesses are too high. Even with strong uvv's it will be tough to get snow going and keep it going. the East-Southeast maritime flow is deep and strong.&lt;br /&gt; Let's not forget wave action and very high tides. We have to be concerned about coastal flooding here with Spring tides already high. Models are indicating a 3+ foot surge here along the Connecticut shoreline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RiE0sbqfeCI/AAAAAAAABRs/uteI1lDTZVI/s1600-h/surge.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RiE0sbqfeCI/AAAAAAAABRs/uteI1lDTZVI/s320/surge.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053378194831276066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-1488922229615336304?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/1488922229615336304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=1488922229615336304' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/1488922229615336304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/1488922229615336304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2007/04/open-flood-gates.html' title='Open The Flood Gates!'/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RiE0hLqfeBI/AAAAAAAABRk/OcwZywqdhYc/s72-c/GFS+TOTAL+PRECIP.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-2255944695365647507</id><published>2007-04-11T16:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-11T17:39:17.386-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Stormy Times Ahead.....Precip Type?</title><content type='html'>Sure, March storms pose a challenge when it comes to forecasting precipitation types and now it's &lt;strong&gt;APRIL&lt;/strong&gt;. A very complex weather scenario will unfold over the next 24 hours. It is important to look at vertical motion in the atmosphere this time of year. You see, &lt;a href="http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mrx/glossary.php#d"&gt;dynamic cooling &lt;/a&gt;can be key in snow/sleet forecasting this time of year.&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the 18Z model data run....it is interesting to note the large thermal difference between the NAM and GFS @ hour +18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rh1dHLqfd_I/AAAAAAAABRU/GkOcnOk6S8k/s1600-h/gfs_18hr.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rh1dHLqfd_I/AAAAAAAABRU/GkOcnOk6S8k/s320/gfs_18hr.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052296734951045106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rh1dHbqfeAI/AAAAAAAABRc/vULe-ojjAUQ/s1600-h/nam_18hr.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rh1dHbqfeAI/AAAAAAAABRc/vULe-ojjAUQ/s320/nam_18hr.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052296739246012418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note the 0c isotherm location in reference to Connecticut between the two models. Thicknesses are &gt;540dm. 12z Thursday GFS 700mb uvv's are 15ub/s @ KBDR and only 10ub/s @ KIJD for 18z. For the 18z NAM run, 21ub/s for KBDR @ 18z and only 9.9ub/s for KIJD. &lt;br /&gt;A deep SE flow is also obvious across both models. Keep in mind Long Island Sound H2O temperatures are only 38-43 degrees. &lt;br /&gt;I will be interested to see how the 00z models initialize. If the NAM is closer...this will have a huge impact on the duration of wintry precipitation for the onset. I am especially concerned about the areas from Ridgefield-Danbury-Wolcott-Putnam North. Hilly areas +500' have the best chance for accumulation. I think there could be some school delays in these areas. Even for New Haven points west, sleet may come down steady for a period of time around daybreak before going over to rain.&lt;br /&gt;I will have a later update.&lt;br /&gt;-Gil&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-2255944695365647507?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/2255944695365647507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=2255944695365647507' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/2255944695365647507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/2255944695365647507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2007/04/stormy-times-aheadprecip-type.html' title='Stormy Times Ahead.....Precip Type?'/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/Rh1dHLqfd_I/AAAAAAAABRU/GkOcnOk6S8k/s72-c/gfs_18hr.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-6366709161509788704</id><published>2007-04-10T16:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T16:44:41.653-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The chill remains!</title><content type='html'>Hello! I have missed a few days posting. I missed an amazing weather day, Easter. I say amazing due to the chilly air all day and yes passing flurries. Some areas around the state had a dusting from some of the snow showers!&lt;br /&gt; Temperatures today (Tuesday) turned out below average again! Highs ranged between 43 and about 50 degrees. A Southeast wind will keep the shore chilly tomorrow. Inland areas may approach 50 before clouds move in and block out the sun.&lt;br /&gt; Weather data has taken a turn for the warmer. The 850mb temp panels are much warmer when this system rolls over Connecticut late Wednesday Night and Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RhwE6bqfd-I/AAAAAAAABRM/43L6QqX6EDo/s1600-h/gilgfs.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RhwE6bqfd-I/AAAAAAAABRM/43L6QqX6EDo/s320/gilgfs.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051918283907758050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thicknesses have increased big-time. I am still concerned about being under divergent left quadrant of polar jet and strong uvv's. &lt;br /&gt;Could this dynamice cooling work for snow growth? That is the big question. I am buying into the warmer trend at this point. It is also important to note Long Island Sound Water temperatures are still only in the upper 30s to around 40. Not much of a warming source!&lt;br /&gt; I think this is a very low confidence forecast. I am interested to see if 18Z data trends mild as well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269230495457049127-6366709161509788704?l=weather4connecticut.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/feeds/6366709161509788704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=269230495457049127&amp;postID=6366709161509788704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/6366709161509788704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269230495457049127/posts/default/6366709161509788704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://weather4connecticut.blogspot.com/2007/04/chill-remains.html' title='The chill remains!'/><author><name>www.weather4connecticut.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09476584918645445480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/R7FDbluWZgI/AAAAAAAAD9c/huncvDDe8Lk/S220/SNOWMOBLIE+TRIP%232+JAN2008+026.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_hRNmxPsPric/RhwE6bqfd-I/AAAAAAAABRM/43L6QqX6EDo/s72-c/gilgfs.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269230495457049127.post-3695569162281037127</id><published>2007-04-05T13:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-05T13:47:55.243-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Let The " Chill " Begin!</title><content type='html'>Hello!&lt;br /&gt;  The last of the 40s remain across Connecticut.

Low clouds and fog dominated across Connecticut today. At 5PM temperatures ranged from 41 to 49 degrees. That's it! A wedge of cold high pressure continues to hold to the weather pattern near Connecticut. The fog will likely become dense in areas overnight.&lt;br /&gt;The big weather story is focused on Wednesday with a very strong cold front. This front will deliver a seasonal change to Connecticut. I expect high temperatures to struggle through the 30s Thursday -Saturday. Although this seems unusual, I noticed snow in the official data on April 5th last year for parts of the state.&lt;br /&gt;We are also watching rivers across the state.
