I think someone will have a nice surprise. Don’t know exactly where but I wouldn’t be shocked to see a lucky area get solid warning criteria. 

It def seems to be honing in on Groton up to about ORH on east

What a year for the CT shoreline…And  there’s 6.5 weeks left to go…

19z NBM ticked up again

Nams gone wild, different spots though. 12k gets eastern ct with 4”+ then 3k gets NEmass with 4-8”

It’s been 2-4” all areas for several days with ratios and some zone is getting 6-10”. Not that it’s correct but Euro has had the same dong zone for several runs now .

I think I found the slant stick ruler to use for this storm?

Agreed.  The model signal is there for a localized area to get lit up.  A widespread 1-3” but some town gets 6-8”, or more.

The soundings are quite unstable in the lower to midlevels. If you can localize a little extra lift in that type of sounding, then you can get some surprises that happen quickly.

Yes, and no dry dong look for the CTRV... so it's probably wrong

So it's a garbage storm for us, got it.

 Regardless of amounts…the weekend winter vibes continue.

Is it possible this a Norlun-esque type of deal? Where it’s not well-forecasted on the models, but the quick intrusion of Arctic air causes chaos as it hits the Atlantic?

Yep... I think it is now a foregone conclusion that there are going to be a couple of sweet spots... Lots of support, in my opinion, for a solid 3-5 inch zone across southeast CT northward along and either side of the CT/RI border area (I-395 corridor) eastward across much of RI; possibly parts of the Cape... But I expect a high-end advisory level / low-grade warning (4-8") somewhere in eastern Mass but not locked into the specific zone at this time; probably a nowcast call just before it really shows itself.
