  1. Euro is really warm in the boundary layer. 2m temps at BDL up to +4c at 12z Monday.
  2. I'm not sure it makes a huge difference south of the Pike... but farther north if you do have a mesolow or some weakness offshore you might be able to hold some boundary layer chill a bit longer.
  3. It's funny how everyone hated the offshore mesolows on the last storm... but is all about them this storm.
  4. The 3-hour increments with rapid boundary layer warming will make the model output for ptype fairly dubious. But yeah, a decent thump of snow before rain.
  5. Barring a wholesale shift offshore... the retreating high and prolonged easterly flow is going to make it challenging to get >6" of snow south of the Pike. Even if you did track this thing over HVN-BOS for many it's heavy snow to heavy rain. I think a reasonable "best case scenario" for the I-84 corridor is like 3-6 or 4-8" followed by heavy rain. If the entire thing gets shunted offshore then we do better but that seems unlikely right now.
  6. Yeah... looks like heavy snow to heavy rain right now. If the antecedent airmass sucked it would be brief snow to rain.
  7. It's a really cold antecedent airmass so even the GFS track is probably a decent burst of +SN before we pour.
  8. Seems like this weekend is a bit of a stretch but man what a tasty pattern D10-D15.
  9. 7.5 in West Hartford melted to 0.50"
  10. Seems like the convection is going to be an issue. A bit disappointing to see the RAP/HRRR and the NAM trends but still looks good for 3-6 in many spots in CT.
  11. I was sort of hyping this afternoon. Definitely hedged high verbally after looking at those model soundings off the GFS/NAM. Hopefully the HRRR is off the mark.
  12. I know. Not really comfortable ditching my 3-6 in Hartford... but a crush/fluff job under that mid level band wouldn't shock me.
  13. Yes... that has me worried for the Hartford area. Could definitely see a 10" jack in that mid level banding given the MAUL and good snow growth.
  14. Yeah absolutely. What I meant by not a huge impact is you can't look at that SLP spread and think some members are whiffs and 200 miles off ACK and others are tucked in near BID. Definitely a dual low structure which makes those spread graphics a bit more difficult to interpret than a straight synoptic low track question. Given the amount of convection (with intense supercells) the HRRR is blowing up I think the dual low idea is definitely pretty reasonable right now.
  15. This is definitely an odd look. Can certainly see the EPS struggling with chasing the convection. I actually think even with a really wide spread in those little Ls there's probably not nearly as much spread in the sensible wx impact here. Could certainly see competing lows and a more strung out kind of appearance but the super out to sea solutions are still going to have a weaker low closer to the coast and plenty of snow in SNE.
