It may take a bit to flip if it happens. This is not an easy call.

He's doing the classic pre congrats hoping it doesn't work out. Meanwhile, guess who gives his thoughts to him as he gets 8-12" and I'm down the drain. :lol:  Nothing is a lock.

LOL..I truly hope it works out. I'm already angry that I'm missing out on it while your deck collapses from the house..but happy that you guys are getting an early snow.

It would be cool to see you guys get pasted tomorrow morning... no one gave a shat in October 2011 when you guys watched a massive historic event unfold just to your west lol. Maybe this pays it back somewhat.

Boy does the 18z GFS wanna still bring home the bacon. Also shift that heavy band access slightly northward into Cumberland & Sagadahoc counties and points east. Very possible the band would move into those areas if the storm wiggles a little more west or perfect dynamics set up. 

 

Of course this is if the GFS is right.

Good point. I got 2 inches of slop in that event. It would be nice to catch the ccb, lot of folks would be waking up scratching their head

Props to GYX for the great discussion and well stated opinions on the storm. This is a well written disco...sounds like Oceanstwx, and if so, nicely done.

SIGNIFICANT EARLY SEASON WINTER STORM IS WELL UNDERWAY AT THE

MOMENT. A STRUNG OUT...OR DOUBLE BARRELED LOW PRESSURE IS SITUATED

S OF NANTUCKET CURRENTLY...SPREADING PRECIPITATION WELL TO THE N.

THIS IS RESULTING IN A WIDESPREAD BUT MAINLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION EVENT

FOR THE AREA. KGYX DUAL-POL RADAR DATA SUGGESTS A MELTING LAYER

VERY CLOSE TO THE GROUND...ROUGHLY NEAR 1000 FT. THIS MATCHES

OBSERVATIONS WELL...WHERE SEVERAL SNOW REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED

FROM THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS NEAR 1500 FT.

AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO FALL IN THE COLD AIR DRAINAGE FROM

THE N...THIS MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL GRADUALLY WORK TOWARDS THE

COAST. HAD TO USE A NON-DIURNAL CURVE TO TREND TEMPERATURES

OVERNIGHT. DESPITE THIS HOWEVER...ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE

MINOR OUTSIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS.

TONIGHT WE ARE ALSO MONITORING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG NNE LOW

LEVEL JET ACROSS THE WATERS AND ADJACENT COASTAL ZONES. THE

01/12Z NAM AND ESPECIALLY THE GFS FOR SEVERAL RUNS HAS BEEN

INDICATING THIS AT LEAST PARTIALLY MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE.

COASTAL ZONES COULD SEE GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH AT TIMES IF THIS COMES

TO FRUITION. HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS POTENTIAL ALONG

THE COAST...AND WRAPPED STRONG WINDS INTO THE WINTER STORM

WARNINGS FOR THE MIDCOAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/...

THINGS GET VERY INTERESTING EARLY SUNDAY ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN

ME. THE AMERICAN MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS STEADFASTLY IN FAVOR OF

BRINGING SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE MUCH CLOSER TO THE

COAST...BRINGING STRONG BANDING POTENTIAL INTO INLAND ZONES.

HOWEVER...THE CMC AND ECMWF PREFER TO PLAY THE DEVIL/S ADVOCATE.

THE CMC IS MOSTLY WIDE RIGHT ON THE SECOND LOW PRESSURE...AND THE

ECMWF SLIGHTLY FARTHER W. EXAMINING THE ECMWF UPPER AIR

FORCING...THERE MAY BE SIGNALS THAT A SOLUTION CLOSER TO THE COAST

IS POSSIBLE. THE MIDCOAST OF MAINE ESPECIALLY IS WITHIN THE

STRONGEST FRONTOGENESIS...AND JUST TO COOL SIDE OF THE STRONGEST

DEFORMATION. TO THIS FORECASTER THAT MEANS QPF COULD BE FARTHER NW

THAN THE ECMWF CURRENTLY INDICATES. THUS THE POP AND QPF FORECAST

REPRESENTS A 60/40 BLEND IN FAVOR THE AMERICAN MODEL GUIDANCE.

SOUNDING ANALYSIS FROM ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS TEMPERATURES EVEN

VERY CLOSER TO THE SURFACE...950 MB...REMAINING BELOW FREEZING

EARLY SUNDAY. THIS WOULD SUGGEST NEARLY ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION

IS SNOW...UNLESS THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY

WARMER. HOWEVER...THIS IS UNLIKELY...AND FORECAST TEMPERATURES

ARE BELOW GUIDANCE. EXPECT THAT FOR THE MIDCOAST...THIS IS A

MAINLY SNOW EVENT...AND IT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES EARLY SUNDAY.

HAVE SEGMENTED THE WINTER STORM WARNING...AS THIS SNOW WILL START

LATER BUT FALL HEAVIER THAN AREAS FARTHER N. GIVEN THE BANDING

SIGNATURE...CANNOT RULE OUT 1 INCH/HOUR RATES. DESPITE THE EARLY

SEASON NATURE...THAT TYPE OF SNOWFALL WILL ACCUMULATE QUICKLY

EVEN ON ROAD SURFACES. IT WILL ALSO BE WETTER IN NATURE...AND

LIKELY STICK TO ELEVATED SURFACES. EVEN IF TOTALS FALL SHORT OF 6

INCHES...EXPECT THAT SOME DOWNED TREE LIMBS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG

WITH SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. GIVEN THIS IS THE FIRST EVENT OF THE

SEASON AND THE HEAVY...WET CONSISTENCY OF THE SNOWFALL...HAVE

DECIDED THAT A WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE

PUBLIC.

ANOTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER IS WHILE SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE IS

UNDERGOING RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN THE GULF OF ME AND STRONG COLD

ADVECTION AND PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCES OCCUR. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS

INDICATE A 6-1O HR WINDOW OF DEEPER MIXING AND WIND GUSTS OF 40-45

MPH POSSIBLE OVER A WIDESPREAD AREA FROM COASTAL MAINE TO SOUTHERN

NH. IF MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND STRONGER...ESPECIALLY IF STORM

TRACKS FURTHER W...EXPANSION OF HEADLINES MAY BE NEEDED.
