Probably late morning early pm after 12z they pull the trigger

Perhaps, but I think his area has the higher criteria than the rest of the state. If the forecast is for 3-5 across his area, then they should have one, but 2-4 without a significant ice threat won't do it in most cases.

Well to be fair to the weather office down there, We have 3-5" here and no WWA, Just a hazardous weather statement

In parts of Maine I think a WWA may be 5 inch average, so that would make sense if you live in one of those areas. NWS used to have a nice book (central region still has one out) that breaks down all the different winter weather advisory critieria by WFO and lists out all the zone exceptions, so at least you could make sense of the warning configurations based on that reference.

It shifted the qpf further up here as well with close to that in extreme Southern Maine

 

You guys are the only given in this I think...still like 3-6 loon to sunday river, if not more.   It's a nice refresher.

 

WHDH very conservative, just said he thinks Boston is all rain until maybe lunch Wednesday before it flips.

 

To me it looks like decent precip rates would overcome the BL pretty quickly, but guess not.

Rain to lunch and flip to snow? Suspect.

This will be another garbage storm even if it starts as snow. Jerry might squeeze a little more out of this.

I see nothing so far to suggest to change the 2-5" amounts stated in the WWA.  Maybe that low-end is less likely if you agree with the NAM; but with the SREF as it is, I'd say let it ride unless something significant happens.

 

Wide-spread 2-5 with spot 6's in amongst Will and Dave.  Enjoy it--timing might force a snow day FHDW (for hubbdave's win).

Not new news for us though. After this we should do a lot better next week and beyond.

It looks the same to me... We've been promised a change for weeks. GFS has a warmup saturday, long range has similar setups for us, and has consistently.  Transient shots of cold followed by messy storms. It's not our winter
