Nice day today though. Already up to 52°and mostly sunny.

It is really about this and not some nail biting sleepless nights over a current Cali like drought:

“A drought reflects a period of time with below-normal precipitation. No one knows what will happen over the next few months, so now is the time to take steps to manage our water use as we move into the warmer weather,”

Yeah it's going to need to trend back south to make it interesting in SNE outside of northern Berkshires. But this could just keep trending north. It's been a pretty hard trend since 12z yesterday.

Is that closed off energy across the Inter-mountain West playing a big role in this? Seems like differences in how models are handling that feature are also impacting the evolution of our H5 energy.

I love dry weather I should probably live in Taos.

Little nuke on the NAM...if we keep the trend of tightening up the circulation, then it would get pretty interesting again for interior SNE. There's a pretty decent 3-6 hour period on that run for like ORH back to W MA and W CT before the SGZ starts to dry out a bit.

Yeah that hits western CT good into the Berks and clipping hubby on north. Just north of H7. Hopefully that can tick SE some. We know Kevin deep down wants it. :lol:

Hopefully occlusion doesn't occur too quickly here. Man...if we can get this south just a bit more given the baroclinic zone there would be room for rapid cyclogeneis south of Long Island. Let's pop 60's the next few days so leaf out can explode and then let's get a region wide 10-20'' Thursday night/Friday.

It would probably be a historic storm if everything was south/southeast about 100 miles.

The ingredients are certainly there for that to happen...just not sure we end up seeing this trend that far south/southeast...but there is room to at least head in that direction. some big differences between the NAM/GFS and the handling of all that energy within the Inter-mountain West

What are your feelings about areas further west of the river, specifically into the lower elevations of the Catskills/Poconos; are we probably out of the game save for higher elevations? Beginning to think it’ll be much more elevation driven here than anywhere else

I def want snow but this setup is not good for most of SNE. Berks to NW Hills maybe. Rest of region rainer unless we see Mesenger tickles

Not sure what's been said/ covered re the runs and this interesting spring anomaly but ... just on an island that NAM (12z ) solution would snow prolifically for a 4-6 hour period West of 495 and N of south coast of CT, likely above QPF in that general synoptic layout/evolution it carries through. 

Didn't like the 00z Euro backpeddling on surface reflection ( coherence..) such that it did, but the EPS mean was impressive in the mid level height falls as that thing pass S so will to wait on the Euro oper another cycle.   Otherwise, devoted thread time

This time of year the higher elevations are usually always favored, however, I think this setup there is alot favoring the potential for snow at all elevations. For one, the models are indicating a pretty cold low-level airmass and looks like we will be seeing surface winds with a predominately northerly component. Also, the time of day could be a huge positive as looks like the majority of the processes at play occurring overnight Thursday and even moving through Friday morning...the processes surrounding dynamic cooling, drawing down colder air from up north, and the quite cold low-level airmass...all should pay in favor to keep a favorable thermo profile even at the lowest elevations. 

The biggest overall concern may be more dry air into the DGZ or where the strongest lift occurs and where the H5 tracks/closes off. But if this all happens in a favorable location...elevation I don't think plays much of a role...but of course the greatest of accumulations would probably occur with higher elevation.
