Eh it happens to everyone I wouldn't sweat it.

No not officially but I was thinking generally 1-3" for most, maybe a couple isolated 4" amounts. 

Yeah it’s all good. Can’t get upset. In these situations where there are mixed signals you pick a stance and go with it. In this instance I opted to go for dry air winning out. It’s all good

Yeah that's what I was leery of. That pocket of 850mb dry air was peppered all along the front from New England to Texas so it was tough to commit to who would get screwed and who wouldn't.

Even now looking at radar. Been watching the western edge for signs of dry air. When it seems like it starts to get eaten away it quickly fills back in.

Low level water vapor loop has all the dry air off to the south over central NJ moving NE.  GFS soundings do show that dry air making its way in within the next couple hours but NAM has a different idea keeping column fully saturated until just about daybreak.

Might Be starting to see influences now. Noticed radar lightening up a bit in CT outside of the heavy band near the NY/CT border.

I think Scott mentioned two maxes...one near W CT and another NE CT into MA...might work out very well

Actually looking at GR2 if you toggle different radar tilts you can see some of the dry air pockets so it's definitely there, just waiting for it to start eroding some of that precip which with those moderate bands may be hard to do in the near term. 

I remember Scott mentioning that I'll have to look back and see what he was looking at.

The NW part of the state has the be getting drilled. Wouldn’t be surprised if some towns there have like 3-4” already...maybe close to 5

That along with their higher elevation I wouldn't be surprised either. Here is what Scott said earlier so far I think it's right on lol.

"One other thing possible, we may have two “max” zones. One maybe near central MA into adjacent or NW CT? This due to initial dynamics residing as it changes to snow before drying out. Then, another area in RI and SE MA. This from the second wave mixing in near 12z. Could be an area that gets less than 1-2” in between. "

Man that couldn’t have been more spot on.
