Nothing in Pepperell.....the wait is killing me.

[weatherwiz]

Confirmed? That would be beautiful, that line is going to pivot through my area shortly.

Yes!

[/quot There seems to be a giant dryslot headed for south eastern Ct. It does not look good.

This isn't going well.

Couple of things to note:

As this thing bombs, we'll start to see the mid levels lows begin to move east towards the low center. This will probably act to develop more precip over the waters south of LI. If you look at OKX radar, you can sort of see what I mean. That arc of precip is ahead of the H7 low. Actually, that's the inflow leading to the heavy snow in NJ. That inflow is getting stretched and deformed..thus packing the thermal field.

What we want to see is that arc of precip begin to blossom even more as those mid level lows consolidate towards the low center. Will brought this up over the phone and it may be true. Check out the 09z ETA on PSU ewall. Don't be shocked of the radar looks a little crappy near and east of a ORH-TOL line. However, you'll see how the precip develops again as the mid level low develops and tightens up to our south. Just keep watching the radar trends to the south of LI.

Radar is looking a little better to the south. We want to see those echoes become less cellular and more organized in intensity and coverage.
