Lol Geez Euro went from. 25 to 1.5 and it's Debbie. It really is bizarre in here today.

 

 

I'm pretty bulish for the elevated interior. I understand the reason to be cautious on the CP and certainly in the CT River valley...but interior hills should get clocked as long as this doesn't go back SE. Its plenty cold enough.

They're keeping it close to the vest - saying heavy snow possible, power outages possible, r/s line hard to predict.

 

I respect Upton's opinion, but it isn't supported by the models right now, but that's why they're paid what they are paid, it's not up to the models to decide our sensible wx. With Ryan feeling uneasy, I suspect maybe they're right but we'll see.  If the 12z runs are similar to 00z last night the models suggest higher totals, admittedly though I haven't looked too closely for YBY.

 

SREFs are tightly clustered at 8-14"for BDR FWIW. Might be good to see where they head going forward.

Interesting, I just read your forecast and BOX is even less enthused for you than OKX is for me, strange you would single out my location?  Good luck up there!

Will 1-3 a good number for the south coast?

What do you think we'll get in the Boston area? Euro was cold! And ensembles appear juicy.

saw that,I just lol but sometimes....

 

I took a quick look at the 03z SREFs when I woke up an saw that the 850 0c line never came back west so I knew the numbers would be pretty high.  Crazy numbers out there on some of the guidance.  Pretty much as expected though given the anomalous setup.  I like seeing the Euro/SREFs sort of in the same camp right now.  Hopefully we see some narrowing of guidance today.

I thought this would be great for elevated areas, ORH hills should clean up on that east flow, little bit of upslope enhancement!

I thought box laid it out with good discussion and pointed out whqt could happen good or bad and lets wait to nail it down.

whether its okay or not that's what is happening. The euro and gfs are big hits yet we have no accum map from noaa, no watches or advisories, and tv treats it like an April shower. At this point what will it take? If the gfs and euro are even 1/2 or this last run is that enough or are they all going to wait until Wednesday.

I loathe the lack of consistency. All winter often with much less model agreement we has maps out 96 hours.

This doesn't start until the 4th period, and it's a low confidence forecast at the moment (with respect to snow amounts), so I'm not surprised there are no watches or advisories yet. I'm sure you'll see them go up this afternoon. Perhaps as early as late this morning pending 12Z models. That's plenty of lead time. People will get the message in a hurry. It doesn't take long unless you're one of the few with no TV, internet, radio, or cell phone access.

I really don't get it either,

 

I get that the setup is unconventional and thus low confidence but the models would all have to be busting really really bad here.

 

I pulled some soundings around the area for the height of the storm in each respective area based on the 6z GFS

 

BDR at hr 48 looks like paste to me

It seems like both BOX and OKX have been very conservative, I guess they got burned on the last few where it shifted SE after 72 hours in, and so they decided to go conservative, except this one has decided to stick around. My guess is after 12z watches/warnings go up for atleast the interior BOX zones, advisories for some coastal areas for both BOX and OKX(maybe a 2-4" advisory for here, they like to do those even though 4" is advisory criteria). The mets in general have been very cautious with this, and to some extent I don't blame them, it's a really tricky forecast, but at the same time if some of these solutions that we have been seening verified it's going to have a big impact for many.

that's what I am seeing. A NW RI special, the squeeze box will be going in and out and in and out.

It is such a marginal setup for the CP that will make it a difficult forecast.  Surface temps are marginal and DPs will not be overly low so it will come to how dynamic a system it is.  I'd hedge low for areas inside 0f I-495 right now but at least point ot the pros/cons that can go either way right now.  Low confidence forecast for sure.

So most of our snow would fall with temps in mid- upper 20's?

 

 

If it came down hard I thunk it would be mostly 27F type snow here...even if its on and off moderate, its going to be below freezing I think for the most part in the hills...perhaps around freezing during the midday hours if has a hard time to saying steady.900-950mb is pretty cold.
