Ya pattern looks horrendous after Christmas with pacific warmth flooding the US. Woof - this is worse than those years when it was 60-70 in December bc there wasn’t any expectation. This is to be has to be up there with the worst weather December we’ve had. Teased with tons of potential for one 1-5” Light snow event that melted within a week in SNE.
I know I kid. Wish I still had access to WSI for those clusters lost access from my old job last year when they updated the site. Also WSI is the first to load data. I agree just a wait and see approach hopefully a track just inside the BM.
Edit option 4: could cut to Buffalo.
Right now after last nights guidance most likely.
1. Hugger or track over SNE
2. bench mark track
3. Track over Buffalo
4. ots
I’m sure the order of this will change at least a few more times in the next 2-3 days.
That's the full duration of the storm.. Widespread 6"+ .. It's nice to see this as a coastal threat now, and not favoring interior. As you said this is a wild mean for day 7-8.. Only the big ones have a mean like this well in advance..
Elevation will be a necessity in Derby to grab a few inches. Theres some 300-400' elevation there on the "hilltop", however down along the river valley has no shot in my opinion.
