  1. That H7 low is pretty enlongated on the NAM. Sort of a weird look. The Queens will be disappointed though... only like 0.8"-1.0" QPF for Hartford County.
  2. NAM looks really good I think. It consolidates things in time. Looks pretty hellacious for many. Still on the fence back here but H7/H5 low tracks look good for 10 or 12" of mid level magic around Hartford.
  3. I do think leading up to these storms the NWS/TV have a hard time sort of resetting when there's a trend toward a bust or more caution flags as the event nears. Ramping up is easy but no one wants to back down. After all the trends today this does not look like the same storm I was expecting when I went today... but you wouldn't know that from watching TV or reading that BOX AFD. I could definitely be wrong but there are far more caution flags right now than things that make me super stoked.
  4. It is strange to see a lot of the TV people ramping up and the BOX AFD bordering on Armageddon. I don't really see it after the 12z runs and the data since - particularly in the Hartford area. Running with a 12-20" total was just too much for me given the guidance. Even getting more than a foot seems like a challenge at this point. I do like the look for S CT look for a nice burst overnight.
  5. Yeah it's not like it's just the 3km NAM and the ARW chasing the convection offshore and everything else is big. The Euro, GFS, etc are trending toward trash.
  6. Yeah I agree with this. The jet stream evolution just screams a crusher for most of SNE but that convection over the Gulf Stream wants to screw us. Seems like this is just going to wind up being a weird evolution overall.. and it has definitely sped up a lot.
  7. It's a super bizarre evolution. Like the HRRR has a nasty 500mb dry slot over Providence and Boston with the SLP center way outside of the benchmark. This one is going to look very very weird I think.
  8. Yes - I actually feel better about the south coast. Seems like everything wants to close up and track a bit SE. I think LI and coastal CT could do very well.
  9. Really bizarre to see the surface low waaaaay out of the benchmark and the 700mb low tucked so close to the coast. Not really sure what to make of it.
