broad area of low pressure though.

In the last 12-18 hours it's moved the QPF shield...max amounts a few miles north just east of Detroit. Not much of a shift really, pretty steadfast but those 10-50 miles would obviously be huge with this cutoff.

It's much better though with the WAA and mid levels lows which is important. Checl out hr 30 at H7. Nice area of lift across the srn tier of NY right into SNE.

Oh no doubt, it's very close to croaking a good portion of CT (already is really), LI, SRI and SE MA. that said from what I read earlier isn't this pretty much the 12z Euro?

from hrs 24 to 30 confluent flow shifts from w/wnw- e/ese to W/wsw-e/ene and it is also less confluence on the 0z nam v. 18z nam. now nam can increase people's confidence in this thing....now let's get globals to get stronger !

This allows me to sleep with peace tonight, while Rev Kev tosses and turns "noooo!!! the gfs...toss it...toss it... nooooo!"

Elevation will be pretty key for a lot of folks

Yeah I think it's close to the 12z euro now. I think you had to expect this because the NAM was so far south. It's actually a nice hit for you.

As per Todd Gutner on WBZ 4 bloggie: 9:44PM

Well the pattern is reverting back to Mid-Winter so it’s only fitting that the models revert back to their Mid-Winter form too. Basically the NAM and GFS have flip-flopped with the GFS now the most robust model and the NAM backing off pushing the precip mostly well south of us.

As of now, I still prefer the lighter amounts…not as light as the NAM but more like the EURO. Obviously, this needs to be watched very closely…especially if we get the well-defined closed low at 850mb like the GFS is depicting, that would create significant overrunning precip and much higher amounts. But with the primary vort going so far to our south, it’s hard to believe the surface and 850mb low getting close enough to us for the heavier snows. Regardless, the timing is good for Springtime snow accumulation…at night so roads this time around will likely get snow-covered or slushy.

i really dont think so with this event!!

Elevation is always important this time of year...it will be key again if it doesn't snow hard. The one thing that will help lower areas is that the bulk is at night so it erases the sun angle issue.

we had 2 inches on the ground yesterday and 1 inch on the roads in the middle of the day granted its a side street but i dont think it will have a problem at all

The NAM seems like the 12z euro qpf distribution wise. It has about .3-.4 in my area...mostly overnight so it should stick on the roads fine I think?
