What do you think the ceiling is on this, and how far west can it get?

I think the Cape can get 6-12 in a best case and 3-6 worse case. I think we see 1-3 inch amounts well inland at least to I91 and probably west of there. If you recall the Boxing Day storm a few yrs back euro was last to bring it NW. It struggles most on these types of systems

It did shove the precip NW....just saying it has work to do in order to match the SREFs.

The SE ridge versus PV war is very interesting to see today, just a conduit of moisture between them. Modeling seems to be playing catch-up  Today's secondary band which is bisecting CT was progged 6 hours ago to be south of LI. Something to watch and will make a ton of difference for our CC peeps.

Yeah CC needs to be on the look out, but I think I would temper hopes NW of there. This is a tough battle.

euro is not even going to be close

 

It's probably 100-125 miles NW with the precip vs the 0z run which was several hundred miles further north from the run a day ago.  The interval of change is closing though. 

 

I have a hard time accepting the Euro, only because it's been among the slowest to bring the shield NW.  maybe it's right, but I'm not sold on that yet.

rare to see the euro ensemble mean wetter than the op

 

Yes, red flag maybe.  I don't know, it's a little too early to really start nitpicking the current situation. 

 

WSW's just posted for DC, BWI and up into south Jersey

 

Per the Euro, they almost all get whiffed.  So obviously NOAA isn't going with the Euro :)

just based on the euro right? I mean even its Ens did better than that last night. 

 

You are going to have a vicious band on radar SE of the Cape...I think a few maybe several inches outer Cape is possible..but it's more NW of the Canal where the issue is. If the 18z runs still get further NW....well then reevaluate.

Honesly, Steve, your are a bit of drama hound - there's nothing personal about this, dude.  

I am not alone tip. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this being pinned, a metaphorically use of the the term bomb or discussion of model trends, uber close call. One that yesterday was not on anyones save a few radar. I am not going to toot my own horn nor will Saki . Just seemed very odd for you to make those comments , carry on .

I remember watching from the shore BID get nailed while I sniffed Cirrus in one storm in 87. That is a bout 8-10 miles from Misquamicut. Sharp cutoffs are sharp.Like you said this needs to be watched in CC. Watching radar and Sat's will be interesting for the next 40 hours or so.

The coveted RPM has a nice OES signal for PYM county and CC.

I'll start digging more tonight but i think there's maybe a 3 to 6 hour window depending on how exactly this evolves where that might be the better opportunity out of this. i could see lighter echoes from the storm scraping the Cape with -sn but some better N to S oriented bands embedded in there with some good snow growth given how cold the 850s are.

That's what it showed more or less. 

 

In the back of my mind...these southern vorts are notorious for throwing curve balls....but I think the nrn stream is too much. Sux it's 48hrs out. Stranger things have happened before so we'll see.
