SR, near BOS is the mid level issue, but N shore would be better. Higher el obviously have the low level cold and no surprise the watch is there. You are also at the mercy of the stupid county zones, so the ideas aren't going to be clearly displayed when bounded by county zone outlines. I don't understand the watch fetish anyways. It doesn't change how much snow you are going to get.

 

 

Yeah the town of Ware, MA is not in the watch but Hardwick and Brimfield are...it's all because of the county lines.

lol I don't care at all if I'm in a watch or not, just sort of questioning it from what I was looking at. You all make good points though and thinking about it it's probably the right call to hold off. 

 

NAM is basically identical to 12z. More interested in the RGEM though which we'll get out to hour 54 this afternoon so should get a decent idea of what it's thinking.

Whomever did that map certainly understands the elevation around the area. Nice to finally see them mapping that out instead of ignoring the red-headed step child

I see it was Joe D..and i know he gets it..Nice work Giuseppe!!

 

1) PRECIPITATION TYPE AND HEAVY SNOW...

PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BEGIN SAT MORNING FROM S TO N...STARTING AS

SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF AREA EXCEPT FOR RAIN ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.

STILL LOOKING AT POTENTIAL FOR NARROW BAND OF HEAVY WET SNOW...MOST

LIKELY FROM N CENTRAL CT INTO WORCESTER HILLS...NW RI AND INTERIOR

NE MA. DESPITE WARMING ALOFT...FORECAST SOUNDINGS IN THIS REGION ARE

NEARLY ISOTHERMAL...SO POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WHERE

IT COMES DOWN HEAVY AND ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

WE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THESE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE 50

PERCENT CONFIDENCE ON REACHING WARNING CRITERIA...ALBEIT THE LOWER

END /6 OR 7 INCHES/. ALSO HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH POSSIBILITY OF

DOWNED TREE LIMBS AND WIRES WHERE SNOWFALL EXCEEDS 5 INCHES DUE TO

WET NATURE OF SNOW.

Yes, clearly if you map it out, it will come true.
