January 2019 Observations and Discussions

Squall line just passed through State College PA area with heavy snow and strong wind gusts. Interesting to see if it holds together until it gets here around 2 pm. Kind of a tease though, will only last about 20 minutes.

Quick question. What is the likelihood that the squall line makes it all the way to eastern NJ?

Radar seems to say yes for 3-4 pm time frame. Looks strong from 3:30 to 4- ish for the NYC area and from 4-4:30 for the Shore and LI.

SR radar has been as bad as the rest of the guidance lately...so take it fwiw...

Id say good.  But keep in mind that there will be areas where it thumps and areas where it just meh; similar to a line of thunderstorms. In between the stronger cell centers it may not be that exciting

CP, did you notice the temp difference between Doc (16) and me (8 degrees).  I too am surprised by the snow difference but amazing there can be 8 degrees difference across 20ish miles.

the Appalachians did a number on the squall line. Not sure how it's going to hold up.

You got that right. Was afraid that was going to happen. See that so many times with squall lines and even thunderstorms as they get to the downside of the mountains. I'm keeping an eye on it though to see if it regenerates as it moves east toward the coast, but it is ragged right now.

About to get hit by the squall here in Binghamton

Yep the line is still intact and strong up in your area. You should get a nice hit. The rest of the line south of there looks weak right now.

WE HAD A SQUALL ADVISORY ABOUT AND HOUR AGO AND NOW ITS GONE...ARRRRR..

Let us know how it is. This is the most exciting thing of this dreaded winter season so far.

White out here. Can’t see across the parking lot

how exciting

Will it redevelop for the coast? Looks like the PA mountains are it up as usual

This was expected. It will get reorganized again as it approaches central NJ & NYC and esp points east.

From SS 33&rain - this radar is IP and sick - look at how its blossoming

Yes!! It’s regenerating nicely. I can see it in distance. Incoming!

Here it comes...

Frank how do you post twitter tweets - I have tried multiple time sand to no avail - have to make this easier like just a copy and paste if possible.

Those who think this is falling apart before don not realize the radars in CPA are sparce and dont pick up teh echoes out there.

108 PM EST WED JAN 30 2019

...SNOW SQUALLS WILL AFFECT MORRIS...HUNTERDON...SUSSEX...WARREN...
MERCER...SOMERSET AND MIDDLESEX COUNTIES...

At 105 PM EST, snow squalls in eastern Pennsylvania were moving
toward northern and central New Jersey at 45 MPH.

Winds up to 40 mph are possible with these squalls as they move
through, along with brief heavy snow with less than one inch
accumulation.

Locations impacted include...
Trenton, New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, Easton, Morristown, Somerville,
Port Jervis, Newton, Montague, Somerset, Edison, Old Bridge, East
Brunswick, Bridgewater, South Brunswick, Sayreville, North Brunswick,
Ewing, Carteret and Dover.

Visibilities will drop quickly to between one half and one quarter
mile in these squalls.

Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be
prepared for snow or ice covered roads and reduced visibilities.
Slow down and allow extra time when traveling.

Getting to our range here

Even see snow squalls in the Bayville, Toms River area?

Yes you have the possibility of this

Squall line has reformed and strengthened as sroc predicted:

.
It never weakened as I stated above due to the radar sparseness and echos reflection issues in this part of the land.

INCOMING!!!!!!!! WEST JERSEY ABOUT TO GET SLAMMED!
