Sweet jesus-let's hope

Lower Hudson Valley into Fairfield County I think may end up in the sweet spot. I was really thinking there was room for some of the heavier banding to end up pretty far north like the NAM has. Even though the NAM is kind of alone there are two things the NAM are great at sniffing out, warm layers and banding. But the NAM has seemed to back off on the intense fronto band it had on some earlier runs but also argues for multiple bands. 

But one thing that is going to enhance things in the Lower HV into Fairfield County will be the proximity to the mix line and 700 warm front. It will really dump here. If anyone is going to end up with something along the lines of 8-10" it will be within this area. 

I am wondering if the sharp cutoff line will end up from like just west of Springfield to around Hartford south to like Guilford.

lol that’s awesome. Basically just halved totals for SNE in one run. Completely loses the push of heavy snow here.

Sucked us all back in for 2 days only to pull the rug out 12 hours before 

Eh it’s all going to melt in 2 days anyways, even if everything goes right we aren’t getting more than what 4-6? Oh well, on to the next threat. Actual snow that sticks around for a month >>>>>> instant gratification from models like the NAM with a known NW bias printing 8 inches of digital snow.

West of I-91 definitely the sweet spot for CT

GFS a bit beefier and NE....I see a 'screw zone' showing up somewhere in SWCT, they always seems to find my area hopefully we can somehow miss it this time. Good luck to all

Don’t get too hung up on that….just enjoy the storm.  You’re/we are in pretty decent spots imo for this one.  It should be fun.

definitely don't want to end up in a subsidence area near one of the bands....

I am going to LOVE tracking this one in real time. At this point we can put the models away, put the QPF maps away, and stop beating "QPF trends" with a hammer. None of that really matters because it's all about how the banding is going to evolve, where the banding traverses, and whether we see multiple or even several bands. So it all comes down to the evolution of the mid-level with respect to frontogenesis and the 700mb warm front. 

This one is going to have major surprises and there is no way to pin those down, even at this time frame. You may see a scenario where you have a narrow swath of 6-7" and you go 10-15 miles on either side of this swath and totals are only 2-3". There is just no way to portray this on a map so the best you can probably do is a larger range and understand there is an equal chance of ending up on the lower range (perhaps even an inch or two below) as there is of ending up towards the higher range. 

With this I don't think I'll make any changes to my map from yesterday (don't even have time anyways). If anything I would probably adjust the boundaries of the totals maybe but I can't see adding in like an area of 6-9 or 6-10". Not sure how widespread that will be and that is going to happen where the best banding is. Other than this I think its definitely a good 4-7" for everyone but there will be reports as low as 3-4".

there were enough red flags (dry air, vort source region, etc) from several good Mets here to never get me excited of more than 1 or 2" in Eastern MA outside of any additional ocean enhancement - which could still produce a few bonus inches in spots along N plym county, and maybe an extra inch or 2" here if lucky.

Not sure if this means much but I don't think the dewpoints were as low as modeled, we still have quite the dewpoint depression but maybe this will help to saturate more quickly?

But we can already start watching everything evolve in real time. Pretty strong surge of WAA at 700mb just to our west

and we have our established zone of 700mb fronto

Two things we're going to want to watch through the afternoon are

1. How strong does the WAA remain 

2. How quickly/when does it begin to weaken?

But this look right now is certainly promising for western areas
