I'm not overly concerned for up here. I think I'll make out relatively well...especially compared to expectations.

I'"think" you're not too far from Ragged Mountain. How do you think they'll make out? Wondering what localized efffects they may expect. elevation is basically 1000' base to 2000' peak with a north exposure. I was hoping for a foot but NWS is only showing abotu 6-10. I thinkthat's low, but really don;t know if there may be some downsloping issues.

I didnt get this into the earlier post.

Notice the pivot point on the QPF...it went way NE again. Now it's in VT. Note what happened again to the SW of that point. From EVA up to Albany the .5 line edged east and the QPF bomb over NJ diminished some. It's going to dampen out it can only fail/make changes so much in tight, but I think it has one good move similar to this one in it. That would put it left of the RGEM probably, but east of this current american guidance.

The 5h should absolutely jump east quicker than modeled. At the same point in time tonight it's stronger and a smidge NE. I think it ends up stronger even earlier just looking at the surface low, water vapor, RUC etc.

The pivot point on the GFS is partly a reflection - a rudiementary one, of where the new 5h is taking over and starting everything on the new trajectory. one more shift like tonight and it should help in two ways - by cutting the N movement off sooner it also increases the chances the dryslot never touches land.

Let's eee, nowcast time.

All models show it's rumble in the jungle time, the s/w's and the trough itself are about to go bezerk.

Scott, you've put together some awesome posts.

Harvey's calling for 4-8 along the RI/Massachusetts border along the South Coast while Pete Bouchard is calling for 14-20. ABC 6 Providence says 5-10 in this corridor. Just about everyone's saying 4 or less on the Cape. In all the years I've been following weather I've never seen a gradient materialize as sharp as this within 40 miles along the South Coast. There's absolutely zero chance Newport gets 14 inches while Hyannis only gets a couple inches. But I guess it's fun for these guys to play around with the accumulation maps.

I agree, the s/w s are about to go kaboom, for lack of a better word,

Amazing look to the water vapor imagery, I still believe the Cape even Outer Cape, maybe not Nantucket can see 6"+ at least from just the front end snows.

Well, Boston prob a 1', then.

Not sure why he'd show an in-house model that conflicts with his personal stance a bit.

I think tomorrow the mets will tweak the numbers a bit. I'm thinking areas in EMA get bumped up as we realize mixing stays further S&E. (current trends support this)

Then again, maybe that is wishful thinking on my part.

May not have a ton of help tonight with the graphics. I'm stuck watching grinch with a sick kid for the 1701st time this holiday season, but it sounds like he used the stations model thingie.

All models show the GA FL coast system getting ripped up. Kind of weird but it gets crushed which is why you see the storms died. What that piece does though is slightly lower heights. Looks like a smidge more digging on the main show hitting the GOM now. At the same time the ridge appears to be pinching east which has been a consistent trend along the Canadian border.

All in all I think the smidge trend east is continuing as we speak.
