Para is a hugger with a good front end looks right over CC

 

I'm actually surprised at how different the Para is from the Operational but I guess it makes sense as those little differences get magnified out in time.

 

Looks further south (though much wetter in CT, drier north of the Pike) than the OP for Monday, and huge circulation hugger for the mid-week storm (gives Pittsburgh 12-18" where the OP is a sunny day).

Oh..I didn't mean him per se..Just that wherever rain was a sure thing we were glad we don't live there.

 

On another note..didn't you post  a few hours ago, that there's a higher risk of ice with this than usual?

 

Yes...there still is. I'm just noting a trend today. That way you may not be so shocked if it doesn't look as icy 2 or 3 runs from now.

Euro was definitely weaker too, but not like gfs op. Also agree with Will. That high is in a rather lousy spot. Matters more for me though.

 

I'm just saying, you can't have the kind of swings the GFS is having at 60 hours out and expect a consistent solution at 160 out.

Thinking out loud that cutter is a western outlier

 

I think the cutter is still a distinct possibility but has faded from the center stage a bit over the last couple days. But just saying, from a sensible perspective it would be epically crappy if we got a cutter followed by PV suppression - again.

What a weird gfs evolution. Strung out like a dancer at a run down gentlemen's club in Tolland.

That is how you do can make meteorology more accessible to the public, create a clear and indelible mental image.  I'd like to hear more of this type of description from on-air mets.

I'm battle tested...I lived through 1988-1989 to 1991-1992. 4 consecutive winters without a double digit snowfall in ORH. (and of course all those winters well below average snowfall including a top 5 and a top 10)

I vaguely remember those winters in SNE.  Was a kid. Just remember several seasons without much more than a few inches here or there- it really formed my standard view of winter as a kid. Then 1992-1993 rolled around and that massive storm hit. Then there were several good dumps the following years.  Never thought snow could get that deep as a 10 year old. Awesome.

S MENTIONED ABOVE HIGH AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL TROUGH WITH A

SUBTROPICAL CONNECTION TO IMPACT THE NORTHEAST NEXT WED/THU. IN

ADDITION 1035 MB ANTICYCLONE OVER THE MARITIMES TO NEWFOUNDLAND WILL

SUPPLY INITIAL SURGE OF COLD AIR ON THE FRONT END. STILL A LONG WAYS

OFF BUT A HIGH RISK FOR A HEAVY QPF EVENT GIVEN SUBTROPICAL

CONNECTION. HOWEVER LOW PROB ON THERMAL PROFILES GIVEN UNCERTAINTY

ON AMPLITUDE AND POSITION OF MEAN TROUGH AND DOWNSTREAM MEAN RIDGE.

A SLIGHT HEDGE TOWARD A SNOW TO RAIN EVENT FOR THE COAST AND SNOW TO

ICE INLAND FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1)AIRMASS ON THE FRONT END IS NOT ANOMALOUSLY COLD...THUS SOMEWHAT

EASIER TO ERODE COLD AIR ESPECIALLY ALOFT

2) GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON LARGE AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN

ATLC FAVORS A MORE WESTWARD SURFACE AND MID LEVEL TRACK /NOT OUT TO

SEA/ OVER OR NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WOULD SUPPORT MID LEVEL

WARM LAYER TRACKING FARTHER NORTH.

 

3) OVERALL TENOR OF THE SEASON TO SNOW AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION. DROP SONDES OVER THE PACIFIC AND RAOBS OVER THE ARTIC HAVE BOTH DETECTED THE PRESENCE OF A COSMIC DIDLDO OF ABOUT +3 SD IN GIRTH. 

SO ONCE AGAIN A VERY PRELIMINARY FIRST CUT WOULD SUGGEST SNOW TO

RAIN ALONG THE COAST WITH SNOW TO ICE INLAND. COULD BE SIGNIFICANT

GIVEN POTENTIAL QPF WITH SUBTROPICAL CONNECTION.

Found the correct AFD
