Another Messy Storm On The Way Tuesday

Leave a comment

Hello everyone!

A cold front is currently moving east through the region and will push offshore this evening. Behind it, a sprawling high pressure system will build in straight from Western Canada bringing with it our first real shot of cold air. On Tuesday, warm air from the tropics blasted up the coast by the storm currently causing trouble in Texas will smash into the cold air and a good burst of snow will result. Here’s how I think it will play out and why.

The Cold Air: Tomorrow

Highs will remain below freezing tomorrow for everyone except maybe far southern York County. Highs near the international border will struggle to get out of the single digits. That doesn’t include the NW breeze which will definitely be felt. This is our source of cold air for Tuesday. Prepare for January like temps and wind chills which compared to this torch of a December will feel quite chilly!

The Moisture: Monday Night

At the same time, the storm that is bringing a slew of problems to Texas will be moving North through the Ohio valley. This will set up a feed of warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico right up the coast to Maine. This will cause some concerns as the moist air also comes with warmth which will cause concerns for mixing towards the end.

The Collision: Tuesday 

The cold air comes tomorrow and the moisture arrives on Tuesday. The collision is what will cause the snow. At the moment this looks like a front end thump of snow during the day Tuesday followed by a lighter period of mixed snow/sleet/freezing drizzle/drizzle on Tuesday night. Let’s dig into the snow first.

As warm air plows northward, it will run into the cold air that arrives tonight into tomorrow. This will allow for heavy snow to form on the leading edge of the warm air as it is forced up and over the cold air. This map from the 12Z GFS shows strong forcing (that’s how the moisture in the air is squeezed out) Tuesday morning. Expect slick roads and heavy snow starting Tuesday morning and lasting through Tuesday afternoon/evening. This is when most of the snow will fall. A general 4-8″ is expected with some seeing more and some less. See the snowfall map below for more details.

Mixing Concerns

Southwest winds bringing the warm moist air into the region will eventually bring in warm enough air to start causing mixing problems especially in Southern New England. My current thinking is that Warm air aloft gets as far north as the MA state line during the tail end of the steady precip. Lighter precip will linger through the evening and areas as far north as Portland could see some light sleet/freezing rain overnight Tuesday. If warm air moves in earlier/farther north than forecast which is a possibility, totals could be cut down in SW ME and NH. Northeast of route 26 is likely safe from any impactful sleet.

The other concern for precip type will be along the immediate coast where a coastal front is likely to form. There will likely be a tight temperature gradient along this front and if you end up on the SE side, temps could rise high enough to change the precip to a rain/snow mix. This threat is greatest along the coast south of Portland and along the tips of the peninsulas. Wherever this sets up, look just to the NW for heavier precip associated with the warm ocean air moving up and over the cold locked in at the surface. Warm air rising over cold air is what is causing this whole mess on a large scale, the same thing happens on a small scale.

Residual Light Precip

After the main snow event moves east Tuesday evening, lingering low level moisture will contribute to light mixed precip lingering through the first half of Tuesday night. As warm air completes its invasion aloft Tuesday evening, this could fall any of a number of ways, snow, sleet, freezing rain, or rain. The precip will be light so the impact on snowfall totals will be limited.

low level moisture

I’m thinking that because the moisture is below the warm layers, it stays mostly snow. The warm air moves in at 700mb (10,000 feet or so) but the cold stays tough below that (the blue lines on the map above indicate subfreezing temps at 5,000 feet). The moisture is in the low levels (where the cold air is) and thus even though 700mb is warm, I could definitely see another inch of snow as the snow falls in the low level cold layer. Regardless, this will keep roads slick through Tuesday night despite the heavy precip being gone.

Expected Snowfall

Looking at the final snowfall amounts, I expect a general 4-8″ for Northern New England with less to the south. I think someone sees 10 or 11″ and the best chance looks to be either in the mountains where deep cold stays really locked in contributing to a drier snowfall that accumulates faster or near the coast where the coastal front contributes to more liquid falling from the sky. The coastal ‘jackpot’ area largely depends on the ocean air staying farther SE and the sleet being kept at bay. The northern Jackpot is dependant on enough moisture moving that far north. A coastal low developing Tuesday evening will try to steal some of the moisture from NW areas.

I’ll have another update tomorrow evening on the storm, details on tomorrow’s weather will come tomorrow morning.

A Series Of Messy Storms This Week

Leave a comment

Hello everyone!

Winter is making a big offensive push against the torch this week and Maine is right on the front lines. We have three storm threats this week, tomorrow, Tuesday, and Thursday/Friday. This post will focus mostly on tomorrow. I’ll have full updates on Tuesday’s storm threat starting tomorrow evening. Due to how far out the New Year’s storm threat is, I’ll save that for after we clear the first two.

Tomorrow’s Storm

Rain and snow will move into the region late tonight into tomorrow morning. Look for initial mix for most areas turning to rain first at the coast and then inland. Everyone is at risk for slick spots in the morning even the coast. Major issues aren’t expected but just use extra caution and remember, roads start to get slick around 35 degrees so even if your car thermometer says 34, that doesn’t mean that roads can’t slick up.

The rain/snow line will creep northward tomorrow and cold air will become entrenched just east of the mountains. As a result, this becomes a 3 part storm. Coastal/Southern rain, foothills/inland mix, and mountain/northern snow. Look below for a complete impact map. My biggest concern here is the weak winds aloft. I think the models are too quick to warm the mid levels of the atmosphere given a lack of strong winds to blast warm air in. If there are surprises with this storm one of them very well could be areas near/just south of Route 2 stay snowier for longer.

CAD explainer

Another thing to be worried about here is Cold Air Damming and associated icing threats right up near the mountains. Winds will be southeasterly and will thus warm air at the surface will flood most areas. Temps will cool this evening setting up a pool of cold air. This will easily be pushed NW for the most part by SE winds. The cold pool of air will run into issues near the mountains though as it can’t really go anywhere. Cold dense air doesn’t like to climb mountains and I think that while eventually the SE winds will gather the energy to get the cold air out of there but I think it could take a while. Don’t be surprised if there is a little more freezing rain/sleet/snow than forecast.

A Look At What To Expect For Tomorrow’s Storm

Tuesday Storm

Behind tomorrow’s storm comes a large area of Canadian high pressure. This will ensure a steady supply of cold dry air to do battle with a steady flow of Gulf of Mexico moisture. This battle is what will produce our snow. With such massive, powerful, and cold high pressure close to our north, I have a hard time believing there will be any widespread intrusion of warm air for Northern New England. Rain could make an appearance at the immediate coast but it’s about 5,000 feet above our heads that warm air could present the most problems.

Here is the 18Z NAM temps 5,000 feet up Tuesday Evening. By this time most of the heavy snow will be out of the way but This map shows how warm air will be rapidly approaching the region as precip is rapidly leaving. It is too early to tell exactly who will change to sleet and for how long but just be aware of the potential especially for SW areas. If totals come in a little lower than expected, this might be why.

This event looks like a heavy burst of snow followed by a lighter, drizzlier precip. The exact timing is still to be determined but sometime during the day looks like the most likely time for a 6 hour or so burst of heavy snow before the mid levels dry out enough to shut off the steady precip. After the first burst of snow, look for lighter snow/sleet/freezing drizzle. This remaining light precip should taper off Tuesday night before fully clearing out Wednesday morning.

A coastal low will also develop and move east Tuesday evening bringing with it the tropical moisture connection. Its development will also help keep cold air locked in inland and will intensify a coastal front that is likely to develop along the immediate coast. The GFS also shows the light and showery nature of precip Tuesday Evening.

In terms of amounts, too early to tell is the name of the game for now. The most I could see out of this event is 6-10″ probably across the foothills into the western mountains. The coastal low will likely keep the moisture SE enough so that Jackman north won’t see as much liquid. The coast is at the mercy of the coastal front and warmer temps while SW areas could see sleet mixing. I’ll have more details tomorrow evening on amounts but a general 4-8″ seems likely with some 10″ amounts definitely possible.

We get a quick break Wednesday but never really clear out fully before our next storm arrives Thursday. That one looks like mainly rain with a mix up north as of now.

The First Snow Of The Season Arrives Late Tonight After A Cold Rain

Hello everyone!

2015-11-22_16-21-07

Rain is already spreading across the area this afternoon as a plume of moisture moves north. The immediate coastline and the inland portion of the midcoast is currently seeing light to moderate rain and this will continue through the evening with rain slowly expanding NW.  Light to moderate rain should continue throughout most of the early part of the night mainly east of the Turnpike.

The main feature of this storm will be a sharp gradient on the back side of the system with 5 or 10 miles making up the difference between a few sprinkles and a half inch of rain ending as an inch of snow. As a result, the forecast is especially touchy for areas west of the Midcoast where 1-4″ is likely depending on elevation. Once you get to the I-295/I-95 corridor, a very sharp dropoff in snow totals is likely with some areas seeing up to 2″ and others but a few midnight flakes.

All precip, rain or snow, comes to an end early tomorrow morning with everyone west of I-95 dry by sunup and everyone else soon thereafter. The rest of tomorrow looks cool but nice with clearing skies and NW winds bringing in cooler and drier air.

Every storm has a surprise and by virtue of surprises, they largely remain unknown but if there was one place I had to guess there would be a surprise, it’s where there’s been one already. There were indications that the trough at the 500mb level would be negatively tilted with this storm for days. Finally, the surface forecasts caught up to that and in the past 24 hours the forecast has gone from ‘chance of a flurry midcoast’ to ‘many people get their first accumulating snow’. This trend has smoothed out with the afternoon guidance today but don’t be surprised if this thing comes a tad farther west and instead of a dusting, you end up with 2″ of snow. After all, it would really only take 25 miles to make that big of a difference for some.

The other, equally possible surprise is that the same cold NW winds bringing in the cold air to change things over to snow also come with enough dry air to shut off the precip early, especially because NW winds downslope off the mountains which dries the air even more. For a full explanation of downsloping in relation to temperature, check out my neat weather tidbit from a few weeks ago. While that post talks specifically about temperature, the same principle applies to moisture in that when air rises, moisture condenses and forms clouds/precip etc. just like it cools and when it sinks, the opposite happens. The post also includes a general overview on downsloping which applies to this forecast.

While the last two paragraphs could reasonably be perceived as me covering myself in case the forecast goes wrong, my hope is that in case it does, you can at least know why. As I’ve said several times, part of my goal here is to educate you about why weather happens as well as to tell you what’s likely to happen.

2015-11-22_15-51-53

Speaking of what’s likely to happen, here’s a look at how much snow to expect when all is said and done. All in all, not a big deal but it still will be nice to see the flakes flying in November.

I’ll have another update on tomorrow’s weather in the morning.

Neat Weather Tidbit – Virga, The Mysterious Vanishing Snow

2 Comments

Hello everyone!

Back again this evening with another neat tidbit about Maine weather, this time: the term/phenomenon Virga.

I tweeted this afternoon about a neat phenomenon I observed known to the weather community as virga. Very cold air aloft and some slight daytime heating at the surface combined to create some instability clouds/showers today across the area. Many areas saw their first flakes today but here in Yarmouth, extremely dry air at the surface prevented any flakes from making it to the ground though plenty were seen falling high above.

2015-10-18_17-35-06

Virga occurs when precipitation falls out of a cloud into a very dry atmosphere below the cloud. The precip then evaporates leading to a dry surface while a healthy shower occurs above. This phenomenon creates a neat visual effect similar to a paintbrush running out of paint mid stroke as the precip gradually fades away.

Here are some more pictures of the Virga here in Yarmouth.

Another chilly night is on the way so keep fragile plants indoors through tomorrow.

A Messy Saturday As We Once Again Track The Rain/Snow Line

Leave a comment

Hello everyone!

Quick update this evening to bring you up to date on the latest info regarding our next storm system arriving tonight and hanging out through tomorrow afternoon. For the most part it will be a fast-mover with precip ending in the early afternoon but while it’s here, the mountains could pick up some decent snowfall for this time of year.

Click around on the map to view precip types and approximate changeover times for your local area.

Rain moves into the region in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow and will start as all rain but will quickly change to snow in the higher elevations before dawn. Snow levels will drop as the low intensifies in the Gulf Of Maine and pulls in cold air on the NW side. Expect everyone to see flakes in NH and ME by early afternoon with western MA likely seeing a few flurries as well. It will be a race against time as the cold air rushes SE to try to get to the coast before the precip departs and just who wins is still a bit up in the air.

In every storm there is bust potential and while forecast confidence is pretty high, the exact extent of the rain/snow line as the precip leaves is still an unknown. As of now, it looks like the Maine coast with the exception of a few of the peninsulas will see at least a few flakes with most of coastal MA and all of RI missing out on the white but don’t be surprised if the snow comes in a little earlier than expected and totals are a little higher. Models have tended to place lows to the NW of their actual positions so if this low ends up a little farther SE and a little colder, I wouldn’t be too surprised. With this in mind, while coastal areas don’t look to see any accumulations, a quick coating is possible should a colder solution occur.

A rumble of thunder is also likely across MA RI and CT and some small hail is possible in some of the stronger cells.

Winds will kick up tomorrow as the storm moves out and gusts over 35 mph are widespread so watch for some isolated power outages especially in areas where snow has accumulated on branches and power lines.

I’ll have another update in the morning as the rain/snow line sets up.

Residual Snow Showers This Morning As Storm Moves Out

4 Comments

Hello everyone!

Our storm is moving out this morning and most of the accumulations are done with the exception of NE areas where heavy snow bands will continue for another few hours. For the rest of us, some dry air at around 10,000 feet is causing precip to shut off and thus most of southern Maine is now dry.

radar

That’s not to say precip is completely done, the upper low is only just beginning the process of moving through the area and everyone will likely see another round of snow this afternoon as it finishes its crossing.

Here is the HRRR model showing one more round of snow this afternoon before the storm moves out for good. Expect these snow showers/squalls to be heaviest between 1 and 6 PM this evening before moving out around 8 or 9 PM tonight.

Temps will be falling today starting in the 30’s this morning and crashing through the 20’s this evening. The mountains will likely see readings in the 10’s while the coast likely stays in the 20’s.

No other major storms are in sight.

Mixed Precip Now Underway As Late Season Winter Storm Arrives

2 Comments

Hello everyone!

Precip is already falling across much of the area as our next storm moves in. Expect snow to flip quickly to freezing rain/rain along the coast but remain all snow inland this evening. Currently, some weak divergence aloft is causing a heavy snow band to move through Cumberland County on its way NE.

This divergence is causing a brief heavy snow burst which, despite warm temps, is accumulating on some of the roads so use caution if you happen to be driving this afternoon.

Warmer air will continue to flood into coastal regions this afternoon though after looking at data from a special sounding (vertical profile of the atmosphere) from the NWS in Gray, models appear to have had a warm bias with this event and thus a tad more frozen precip is expected especially away from the immediate coast.

Here is the HRRR model’s take on what the first phase of our storm will look like through the wee hours of tomorrow morning. This model does a good job showing the rain/snow line advancing this evening with heavy snow across the interior and rain across coastal areas. I would advise taking this model with a grain of salt however as it shoots the rain line past Lewiston. When accounting for the warm bias of the models for this event, the rain line should approach the Lewiston area but is not likely to pass it especially considering the snowpack we still have on the ground.

The second phase of the storm occurs tomorrow when a strong upper low crosses the area. Expect temps to crash tonight as NW winds behind a developing secondary low move cold air into the region. As a result, tomorrow’s part of the storm will be an mostly snow event which is where the coast picks up their accumulation. There is still some debate as to if/when/where an inverted trough might setup to help focus the precip so uncertainty still remains. Precip looks to move out tomorrow evening from west to east.

snow map 3-14

Here is the latest snowfall forecast showing the coast escaping with little more than a dusting while the mountains see the jackpot with 8-12″. Due to warmer temps, this will be a wet and heavy snow so watch for a few isolated power outages as trees sag under the weight of the snow.

Slushy Storm To Bring More Snow, Rain To The Area Tomorrow Into Sunday

2 Comments

Hello everyone!

Another storm is on the way this weekend and while much of the Northeast US sees rain and 40’s for this storm, we lucky Northern New Englanders will likely be seeing more snow. While this will not be a big storm by any means, especially compared to others this winter, it will put a temporary pause on the arrival of Spring.

Looking at the setup for our weekend system, two main features present themselves: a plume of moisture and warm air heading north from the Gulf Of Mexico and an Arctic disturbance racing SE to meet the moisture. How much cold makes it south and how far it gets will be crucial to determining how much snow falls.

Before precip even starts, SW winds aloft will be allowing warm air to stream into southern parts of the region resulting in very little snow on the front side of the storm. Winds aloft are far weaker inland and thus above freezing air should be mainly a coastal issue with the foothills briefly getting in on the action tomorrow afternoon.

Warm air will also be working in at the surface but with 1-3′ of snowpack still on the ground, warming aloft may outpace the warming at the surface tomorrow morning so a brief period of sleet/freezing rain  is possible along the coast and just inland as well. While this doesn’t look like a major concern, watch out for some extra slick spots tomorrow morning.

Another key difference between this storm and others this season will be that precip this time around will be a lot more on the steady side rather than extremely heavy. The GFS vertical velocity map above shows this well. Notice the lack of pinks/reds and the introduction of more gentle oranges. This translates to light to moderate precip rather than heavy precip.

Expected Precipitation Type For This Storm

By tomorrow afternoon, the warm air will have made its farthest push inland with temps both above freezing both aloft and at the surface all the way into the foothills. During the heaviest rain, flooding could be an issue along the coast where rain and snowmelt could combine to cause some minor street flooding Saturday afternoon/evening. Any impacts from flooding should be minor but it is something to watch for especially along the coast.

The final phase of the storm will come Sunday as an upper low dives SE across the area. This will help to continue snow across the area on Sunday which is when coastal areas see most of their accumulations. Flakes will be flying as far south as SE MA but no accumulation is expected south of Boston.

Snow on Sunday will be lighter and more showery in nature but it will help to keep roads slick and flakes falling for most of another day.

snow map 3-13

Taking a look at accumulations, the highest totals will be in the mountains where the cold air will hang tough the whole way through. Amounts drop off towards the coast with Southern New England seeing no accumulation at all.

I’ll have another update in the morning.

Clouds Increase Today As Slushy Storm Moves In

4 Comments

Hello everyone!

Today will feature clouds on the increase as high pressure slides offshore and low pressure begins to approach from the west. Expect at least some sun to start this morning, especially over eastern areas, but everyone clouds up from west to east this afternoon. Precip will not be an issue until tomorrow with the exception of the mountains where a passing flurry or snow shower is possible. Accumulations will be a dusting at most. There is the chance that a few stray flakes make it to the foothills as well but no accumulations are expected. Highs today will range from low 20’s in the north to low/mid 30’s in the south and along the coast.

Another storm is headed our way this weekend, I’ll have another post detailing its timing and impacts this evening.

Increasing Clouds With A Chance Of Flurries Today

7 Comments

Hello everyone!

More quiet weather is on tap today as high pressure remains in control. Temps will rise into the 20’s for most with a few low 30’s along the coast. Today will start sunny but expect a few more clouds by afternoon as a weak storm moves in. A few flurries are possible in association with the storm in the mountains but otherwise, clouds will be the only effect from this one.

No other storms are in sight.

*Programming note: You may have noticed this update was out a little later than usual. The next two weeks are my spring vacation and I will still post every day, just a tad later as sleeping in felt really nice this morning. Late updates will continue through the 23rd when school starts again.
