Tracking either the biggest storm to affect at a regional scale since perhaps 2013 ... or, a complete whiff. Pick-em'

New England does well with the storm around the 20th. The rest of us is raining.

As of now. The storm tomorrow a week before him was a blizzard for all of us. What is it now, nothing Burger. So don't go by what it says right now....

That looks like a juicy storm coming from the Tennessee Valley, but it looks like it wants to cut....

18z 3km NAM is probably the best case scenario locally .. solid 1"-3" for metro west

Almost a quarter inch of QPF. Not sure I buy that, but I'll take it.

It definitely amped it up a bit for eastern mass. .2"-.3 qpf

Yeah not buying it yet either, but we'll see 

18z HRRR a little less robust but has the QPF max more oriented towards S NH .. another plausible solution 

[Typhoon Tip]

part of my issue with this synoptically in this new form/paradigm with this thread... that's a fairly cold parcel aloft with some vorticity shrapnel rattling around inside as in/stream trundles through.  

i could see some sneaking meso clumping going on with that.

HRRR tries to tickle the pope with the norlun.

GYX seems optimistic for two or maybe 3 inches here. That would be actually fantastic just to have snow over again.  As we await a very snowy period that starts maybe next weekend

Perhaps we will even bust a bit higher. At least in metro west this may be the season that we see our totals increasing from busts of smaller systems rather than from blockbusters.  Hopefully we get that 2-3" to bring the season total to double digits here.

Looks like 1-1.5 here

Monday, it wasn’t suppose to snow at all…and it did. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if we whiten it up…everything has busted positive here so far since the first snow on 12/5.  Can we do it again?

Whatever we get mostly melts Sunday and Monday . Even in hills. Higher sun angle, fluffy snow and temps above freezing

You aren’t getting sun angle issues. But warmer temps and sun and fluff will melt some especially in the sun.
