Well it was right with the gloomier outlook for some with the December storm, so yes there’s a little nervousness. But I don’t think I will change my 12+ inches call unless there are further changes.
The HRRR isn’t in good range yet for when the transfer comes.
This post from the MA forum really says it all:
“Use the NAMs the way they’re supposed to be used. And nailing the precise physics of coastal transfer, cyclogenesis, and cold conveyor belt development is not it”
Guess there’s always a chance it will be one of those fairly rare storms where all the models sniffed it out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Euro did that.
Someone in the NYC forum said GFS ensembles are west. Anyway looks good for at least 4-6” but depending on banding and location of transfer, we still could get 12+”.
