IF we get a nice weenie band going with the H7 low developing fast, then we could def see some weenie 7-8" totals up in N ORH county over to NE MA/S NH.

 

First time I've seen the model data today afetr being out all day and I'm impressed with the trends in the mid-levels. The model conesnus on these features is nice to see after the cluster on Saturday.

Mesoscale models should handle this better wrt qpf amounts i would think

GFS and NAM came more in line with the Euro. I think a general 4-8" is good. It's going to be tough to pull off 0.75"+ of liquid in 6+ hours like the really hires models are spitting out.

nice quick OT question where were you skiing? ORH to Dendrite should take a good pounding on this one.

Was at WaWa today..big crowds, but the conditions were awesome..got to ski in the woods a bit as much as I could get away with.

 

 

I think the BOX map is pretty reasonable based on what I looked at just now on guidance...most guidance is pretty darn close to eachother, so nice to see agreement.

Yep...best chance for a mesoband to me looks in the 6-8 area on BOX because of the developing H7 low..but everyone is going to see a nice slug and there's going to be embedded heavy snow rate in that slug. It might just try and hold on a slight bit longer up there...qpf is slightly higher up in that region.

Warnings are up in S NH and SW ME too. Belknap gets a WWA. It's probably just the difference between a 5" and 6" avg across the counties.

 

 

I could have stretched Belknap, but I just didn't have a lot of the county above 6". We can always expand if needed. Really the product text is the difference between 4-6" and 4-8".

Pretty much agree on that.  I would expand that 3-5 into part of worcester county, limiting  6 or so once you get to HubbDave and Whiteminster.

 

But, that's pretty much noise.

I don't think it matters what type of advisory you're in on this one. the advsiory areas and the warning areas all will see an avg of 6-7 inches ..with the 8-10 amounts in SNH

 

It does matter. Advisories are more of a 4-6" deal and warnings are above 6". By definition if the advisory area averages 6-7" it should be a warning.
