Abstract

A forecast strategy to anticipate cold-season mesoscale band formation was presented. It incorporates emerging conceptual models of band development, model guidance, and observational tools available to forecasters. The advantages and challenges associated with the strategy were illustrated through operational application to the 25 December 2002 northeast US snowstorm, which exhibited intense mesoscale snowband formation. Plan view and cross-sectional analysis of gridded model fields in concert with high resolution model guidance were used to assess the likelihood of banding and outline the threat area.
