BASE BUILDING!!!

WFO Boston
AT
THIS EARLY STAGE THIS SCENARIO WOULD SUGGEST A WINTRY MIX TO RAIN
FOR THE COASTAL PLAIN INCLUDING PVD/BOS CORRIDOR. HOWEVER IF THIS
STORM TRACK VERIFIES SHALLOW COLD AIR WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SCOUR
OUT ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THUS THERE IS A RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATION OF A WINTRY MIX WELL INLAND...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THIS
SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM WILL HAVE PLENTY OF QPF. NEVERTHELESS THIS
POTENTIAL EVENT IS STILL 4-5 DAYS AWAY SO ITS WAY TOO EARLY TO NAIL
DOWN SPECIFICS. NONETHELESS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM THIS WEEKEND EXISTS.

albany:

FRI NT-SUN...MODELS ARE CONVERGING AT A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF SNOW
AFFECTING MUCH OF THE REGION DURING A PORTION OF THIS TIME
PERIOD..

BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...ARCTIC AIR WILL ONCE AGAIN SURGE INTO THE
REGION...WITH DAYTIME MAX TEMPS MONDAY EXPECTED TO ONLY REACH THE
TEENS AND 20S...WITH OVERNIGHT MINS FALLING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
ABOVE AND SLIGHTLY BELOW ZERO FOR SUN NT/MON AM.

gray, me wfo
12Z MODEL SUITE CONTINUES TO LOCK IN ON COASTAL STORM FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. EACH CONSECUTIVE RUN APPEARS TO BE COLDER AND
COLDER...WITH ARCTIC AIR IN PLACE KEEPING THE DRY SLOT TO OUR
SOUTH AND JUST OFF THE COAST. THIS SCENARIO WOULD BUMP UP OUR QPF
FROM EARLIER PROJECTIONS. STILL VERY EARLY IN THE GAME HERE...IN
FACT THE EURO RUN KEEPS THE HEAVY SNOW CONFINED TO SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL AREAS...WITH THE NORTH ESCAPING THE MOST PRECIP AS THE
SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST...THEN EAST...BARELY REACHING
PORTLAND

I guess I'll be taking my fat skis out of the storage room and clicking into them for the 1st time this season this weekend at Mount Snow :)

The Euro model is usually the best at handling northeastern winter storms, and today's 12z run is calling for a major storm, which is why everyone is now all aflutter. That said, some of the smartest mets I follow on FB/Twitter are poo-pooing this storm and think the models are mishandling some energy and WAY overdoing this. Cant wait to see tonight's model runs though - fingers crossed this storm picks up steam.

Ran this map and posting it here to give the morning crew some early snow-porn.

Fingers are crossed this doesnt evaporate on future model runs. Will be interesting to see what the 00z Euro says when it comes out in 30 minutes (I'll be sleeping).
