Ryan doesn't the Greater Waterbury area look like a tough forecast for a heavy snow accumulation?

I think most of CT is out of the game for "big" totals over 6" outside of Litchfield County. It's just not our storm. If we see a sizable shift east in the globals with a wound up and dynamic storm then we may get lucky. We'll see. I'm logged on at 11pm on a Wednesday which means I'm at least somewhat interested!

I'm thinking it is going to be very difficult to get much snow here. Maybe 1-3" if we're lucky.

Yeah I'm becoming less and less impressed for our area...I said 2-5'' with my first call earlier but the truth is the WAA is going to kill us, especially the strength of it, this just isn't a setup for us, with the exception of the higher elevations in CT (Litchfield Hills) were not seeing much snow at all. Congrats to those who are able to see kostly snow.

WRONG.

That ripped DUE n THROUGH SNE.....do your.HW.

Yes, I know it tracked up the CT River Valley, so it wasn't the same as this storm, but it did have that bubble of warmth ahead of the low that changed many people over in CT/RI/MA while NNJ and SE NY got hammered. That is why I am making the comparison. Surely, this won't be as bad for you.

I think that is quite a stretch, lol.

I don't think they will get huge jackpot amounts but it could be dangerous with high winds near the coastline and snow being unexpected. I am just saying that the hardest areas to forecast, and those that could easily see a warning event without expecting it, are elevated locales in SW CT, parts of Northern Westchester/Putnam, and NNJ.

If the Euro verified, you might get some 2-4" type amounts, but the precip just isn't overly heavy by that point and its midday when it does occur on the back end. I suppose some of those 1000 foot areas in SE NY would have a shot at warning snows, but most areas lower down would not get significant accums. If we see a stronger CCB then its possible the amounts could be higher.

Yeah we need a bit more intensity....988mb south of LI isn't terrible on the Euro, but -1C 850s is really pushing it in early April. I'm also nervous about how the 18z GFS takes the H7 track right over NYC, which would almost certainly be doom here.

Upton does seem pretty aggressive...they are going with 2" here and 6" to my NW for areas like Middletown. You guys seem to disagree, and frankly I might too, not really sure what I think about this storm. I honestly believe it will just come down to nowcasting radar and seeing who gets the heavy banding/dynamics.
