That is a graze at best. Convert . to MM that is .3 to .7" liquid for SE areas, bit more cape; and absolutely no good for the interior.

It was just one frame, but the total was over a half inch for BOS metro...a far cry from "wont even threaten the Cape". That's a great spot to see the NOGAPS in the 84h range...its done that a few runs now. If it keeps putting it there for another couple runs, thats a pretty good bet that the others will go NW.

I was going to put together a preliminary map this evening, but with some uncertainty from the 18z runs, I'd rather get some closure on that first. Not that I think they're of much consequence, but we'll see.

I just put together a little write up, thinking high chance of a widespread 8''+ and moderate chance of a widespread 12''+. Thought the GFS looked awful far east...I'm also backing off my track from last night...not going to be that far west as I had.

The met on CBS Boston was showing the rain/ice/snow graphic for the storm and looping it through Wednesday and Thursday...wtf? A little early for that stuff IMO...

lol I think a lot of mets are jumping the gun with putting out specifics. Not sure exactly why. Could be because model guidance was latching onto this storm early, so they feel they've been watching it long enough. The antecedent cold and snow pack is also driving the hype of the storm.

A lot of people don't realize, the event is JUST now entering the NAM's range, during which period we've seen giant changes occur in past events.

I would definite mention the possible of a significant snowstorm...even mention typical mixing issues in coastal areas..but showing a modeled rain/ice/snow line on tv this soon is not prudent...even if the met mentions it could change.

Any chance you can post the SSS? Or is it a closely guarded trad secret?

Kevin made up the name...I'm not sure where he got it from lol. Its no secret, but a rule of thumb that if you get multiple nogaps runs relatively close to the coast inside of 84h, its usually a red flag for a further NW solution.

not necessarily casting doubt on a particular senario, rather just continuing uncertainty to the forecast in general. I'd like to see a little more uniformity. The 00z runs should be revealing.

Yes, Will made a good point earlier, At least i think it was Will, Or maybe Scott, That the off hour runs seem to want to keep this storm east...........
