CT Rain Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If I had to bet I'd say the Xmas storm is mainly rain for SNE. With no blocking and not a whole lot of cold wagons northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe a rain to snow event for most of us? Still can bang out a few inches. Glad I don't live in the valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 GFS is a nice hit up here Xmas morning...kinda warm south of the VT/NH-MA border to start. Still looks SWFE'ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 18z GFS took a step towards the Euro op. The setup still is kind of putrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our chances Euro has about 0.2" of QPF for the hills... with boundary layer issues. Maybe some flakes in the air and a coating... but verbatim it isn't much.

It would probably flip to snow for you, but I can't see this being more than an inch...maybe 2 if someone is lucky near the Pike. Still a lot of time with that too.

CT Rain Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yikes... 18z GFS is like wall-to-wall rain for most of SNE on Christmas outside of the Berkshires. Just such a crappy pattern... we'll really need to thread the needle to get anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical corrective measure would apply in that scenario and those corrections don't point toward warmth. Buuuut, then there is seasonal persistence to disappoint Kevin at least excuse imaginable so we'd be remis if discounting that physical parameter - hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easterly flow off the warm Atlantic will just cook us. Not much wiggle room. We need a perfect track and this setup is just plain bad. Of course we could get lucky but it's definitely not that likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call that bad.....like I said maybe some snows for the berks and distant interior of mass up in northern orh county but the coastal plain is cooked. Any marine taint at all and its over, temp has been rising here all afternoon and sits at the high at bdr of 48. Warmth is overperforming every single chance it gets. Should be a nice winter like xmas for the mountains, and sure things might change, but the Euro bias of holding energy back is worrisome, but we knew all along this part of ne would have a tough go as the pattern for the winter started to materialize. I hope things work out, and hope everyone gets snow but I just dont see it, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not great along the south coast, but the GFS can be warm and probably is a little too warm, unless this goes north for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
