Just a reminder of what the typical upper level setup needs to be for a New England landfalling hurricane

YES... CPC this afternoon continues MDT RISK heavy rain our area. IF I had to make a decision at 5PM today, I would not thread. Too much uncertainty on anything more than 1/4". Upper 5H low needs to form and capture the sfc low. northward along the coast......sometimes this occurs too late. D7 WPC qpf this afternoon is a good start. The CPC 3PM/22 discussion below supports the attached graphic... MDT Risk in my opinion also implies a risk of a miss to the east. The discussion below to the attached graphic. As the troughing moves further east, frontal activity and possible surface low pressure are predicted to bring increased precipitation chances to the East. The forecast is further complicated by the evolution of Tropical Storm Melissa, currently over the Caribbean. Individual ensemble members from the GEFS and ECENS vary greatly with Melissa, with a more west-based track currently more favored in the ECENS. Slower solutions are concerning given the possibility for more frontal interaction with the upstream trough. Today's ECENS and deterministic ECMWF solutions have trended more to the east compared to yesterday showing enhanced precipitation across the northern Mid-Atlantic into New England. While the uncalibrated ECENS indicates at least a 40 percent chance of day 8-10 (Oct 30-Nov 1) precipitation totals exceeding 1-inch over these areas, the GEFS generally keeps chances closer to 20 percent. While uncertainty remains high in regards to the exact evolution, especially in regards to any tropical cyclone interaction, a moderate risk for heavy precipitation remains highlighted across portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, Oct 30-31 considering the timing includes Halloween and potential for adverse impacts to outdoor events. A slight risk of heavy precipitation continues through Nov 1, with the slight risk of high winds extending across the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic through Nov 1.

Cayman Islands may also have a serious problem with this storm, especially if it gets as intense as a pretty significant chunk of guidance suggests it could.

Yeah it's very low chances, but certainly not impossible. Even the ensemble "clusters" or "camps" are a mess through D5, even D2. lol so we'll see where things land in a few days.

"This is our time, it's our time down here...."

Spooky!

Or maybe the AI doesn’t explicitly model ptypes? And it’s just weatherbell saying precip+850-0C line = snow?

Mental note not to take this product too seriously… feel like for this kind of result it’s gotta be weird ptype issues.

First week too based on 12z ensembles. You’d think we’d be able to get widespread freezes with that look…

While it is always fun to fantasize about extreme events, this setup is still a long shot for New England! Signal for a violent Atlantic system is strong, but right now I think the chance it has direct impacts for most of the Northeast is low. It is not like the ensembles show a clustering into New England. The Canadian has always been good for weather porn, but rarely leads the way. After a while, chasing the one or two outlying ensemble members gets old. I would love to see a late October monster hybrid, but until I see a wholesale change in where the main ensemble cluster sets up, I would recommend keeping expectations very much on the low side. Although if I were living in NS I'd keep close tabs.

Bastardi saw it

This would have been a fantastic LES event in a few months. Regardless I am glad to finally be getting some rain. We could definitely use it.

In Calvert I'm at about 100ft and the cabin is just over 3k ft.

Going to be a cold one the next several nights. Today's high was 62 after a low of 31. Oh and um the pattern has changed.

Yeah people complain about the weather no matter where they live but ours really is so benign compared to most regions. I’ve always thought we live in a top-notch weather location. I love it here.

It’s our turn.. it’s our time

La-la-lock it up!!

what a dump fest in pwm

Anyone up for a chase to Bermuda? Couple of frames show it… 10, 13, 15….

To Tip’s earlier point, irrespective of what happens with Melissa, there is a strong storm signal on the EPS. If there is any tropical infusion it’ll be a hell of a hybrid for us or Atlantic Canada. There are some absolutely nuclear solutions across guidance.

Sup homies, guess I’ll crawl out of hibernation for this potential…

BAM

Let’s get this inside 5 days before we’re talking about wind

Don’t get your panties in a wad. It’s still a low probability at this point. All I’m saying is a solid storm would be nice.
