TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 18z HRRR is still snowing in eastern areas at like 8-9 tomorrrow morning. Advertising a solid 5-6” in snow starved places in SE Mass. I do agree the whole evolution has kind of shunted east, but I’m not sure that matters a ton in this area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that stuff in NJ blossoms. We'll see what happens. This is one of the more nail biting nowcast situations in a while. Hopefully that area of 700 fronto along Long Island is some indication of where we'll get better banding developing later and hints at stuff blossoming farther north and west. 850mb fronto is getting there so we should at least continue seeing precip blossom across the region later on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolri_wx Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 6 minutes ago, TauntonBlizzard2013 said: New box map as of 10 mins ago shaved a couple inches off for most. Quote KEY MESSAGE 1...Plowable snow today-tonight with total accumulations of 2-6" with localized 7" amounts possible across eastern MA/RI. Heaviest snow/worst of the travel conditions between 5 pm and 1 am...but snow showers may linger for the Mon am commute. An elongated shortwave trough stretching from the northern Great Lakes down into the Gulf Coast will spin up a coastal low offshore, passing just southeast of the benchmark this evening. Guidance held steady, with total QPF across the region ranging from 1/2 to 3/4 inches, south and east of the I-95 corridor, including the Cape and Islands. QPF ticked up a bit north and west of the I-95 corridor all the way to the northern Berkshires with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of QPF. How this translates into snowfall accumulation will depend heavily on temperatures and where mid-level forcing sets up. Temperatures during this event will be marginal, with inland areas staying near freezing and the Cape and Islands staying at or above freezing. With the best mid-level forcing near the Cape and Islands, we will likely see snow at temperatures up to 36F as snow rates will be able to overcome the warm temps. The primary source of uncertainty is the temperature at which snow will accumulate on paved surfaces. Because of the warm temps, we continued to trend total accumulations down to 0.5-1.5 inches for the outer Cape and the Islands; however, if temps cool below freezing, snow accumulations could exceed 2-4. The highest confidence in snow accumulations remains along the I-95 corridor in eastern MA and into RI, where good mid-level forcing and temperatures near or below freezing will overlap. Snow accumulations in this area will range from 3-5 inches, with localized spots up to 6 inches possible. To the north and west of the I-95 corridor, mid-level forcing begins to drop off; however, cooler temperatures will allow snow ratios to be higher, ranging between 12-1 to 16-1. Snow totals north and west of the I-95 corridor, including all of CT, will range from 2-4 inches, with localized areas of 5 inches. After the lull in snowfall this afternoon, steady light snow will begin to overspread the region once again through 6 pm. Snow rates will start to tick up after 6 pm, increasing to 0.5 to 1.5 inches per hour. Snow becomes light again after 2-4 am and tapers off from west to east through 6-9 am this morning. Snow showers may linger over eastern MA until noon, but additional accumulations will be light. The most difficult travel period will be between 6 pm and 2 am tonight. However, with lingering snow showers into Monday morning, the AM commute will likely be impacted. Low temperatures on Monday morning are expected to drop into the low to mid-20s across the region, which could cause any standing water from melting snow to refreeze, especially on untreated surfaces. High temperatures Monday afternoon rebound into the low to mid 30s, allowing some melting. Winds become gusty out of the WSW Monday afternoon at 15-20mph, making it feel like the low to mid 20s.

Spanks45 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Looking at the radar drying out here in Western CT, I bet we underperform with this last wave. 1-2 inches hopefully, but still no complaints, looks and feels like winter out there. After the last burst of snow, our total for the first round was 1.7". Storm total, 6.1"... Good luck out to the east, hopefully an overperformer coming your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
