Makes sense.... there is very little confidence anyone will see warning amounts... let alone a large enough majority to justify a warning.

I promise you though... a few people will get 6 or 7” and you’ll here “blehhhhhhhhh, should have been a warning, we got 7 inches!!”

Is that "blehhhhh" a Felger reference? :lol:

People generally obsess over the warnings vs advisory thing when it doesn't matter that much on a marginal forecast like this one....the difference between 5.5" and 6.5" can be covered by a million different uncertainties: ratios, banding, model qpf error, low level enhancement, etc.

Yup... lol. All I can hear in my head too is him saying it. 
 

Hopefully this trends a little juicier and there is a lot of blehhhhing going on Sunday 

:lol: I love that DB.

Still like 4-7" for 495 zone...shouldn't much change at all from first call. Will post Final Call tonight.

7" will be pretty isolated imo.

Those maps look pretty good to me. Might be a little juicy off to the northwest...though the orographic spots will get additional snows on Sunday.

I agree.

I personally don't care, it doesn't affect the outcome and certainly doesn't affect my FX. I just find it funny when watches go up, nothing supports it, they themselves have 0% >6" in those areas and you KNOW they are just going to be converted to an advisory anyways.

I revise my call to 3-6’’....don’t love the warnings. It’s going to have to go gangbusters to verify widespread 6’’ amounts. I can see it coming down good at like 8-9 o’clock and then it shuts off by 2 am. Going to need to do a lot of work in that timeframe for warning amounts.

You never adjust. Sometimes it’s ok to take amounts up especially as things have ramped up today 

Thats not true at all. I put out a first call map yesterday and I'm working on a new one as we speak for a final call, that will be adjusted.

I haven't needed to for the past few storms and have an excellent track record so far this season. 

I can show you many storms that ive bumped up or down in past seasons.

The difference between 5.5”-6.5”   Is meaningless to the general public and makes little difference to severity of impact on driving conditions and shoveling.

I’m still having trouble seeing more than 6 inches and a larger area.

That's what she said.
