Yeah the map has warning criteria snow for one town. They never normally issue warnings for the whole county when that happens so idk what that's all about.
INteresting to see the snow probabilities from the NBM and WPC be so low too. Basically <10% chance of >1" of snow for Tolland/Union. Even NW CT is pretty low.
Yeah it's close. Was thinking the easterly flow probably hurts him a bit compared to NW CT. Even the hires models (3km NAM/HRRR) are a good 2F cooler at 2m to the west. Seems like some longitude assist WOR.
Yeah it can't go too crazy given the upper level setup. Not like we're getting a crazy bomb that's closing off at 500mb. It's sort of a SWFE with some redevelopment off the coast.
My worry with that is they're just weaker which isn't really great either. Not sure the op GFS would get it done with a weaker and more strung out system.
Yeah you can see that on the model 2m temps... there's definitely a bit of longitude assist there.
I think Litchfield Hills and Berkshires will do very well being a bit farther west plus some upslope assist/cooling.
