We’ve reached the moment before a storm when I can’t get out of bed (even briefly) without checking the numbers. Immediately prior to a storm should be when the new High Resolution Rapid Refresh model shines. It’s high res in both space and time with a 3km grid and 15 minute time steps. It doesn’t even cover a full 24 hours, but the HRRR runs every hour.
I’ve attached one output from the 8:00 AM (1200 Z) run–the latest full run available. It’s shows snowfall accumulation through 2:00 AM EDT. This is right in line with my thinking from last night.
More later. I’m going to try and get a little more sleep before I go to work this afternoon. See you later on FoxCT.
Thanks for the update Geoff! Get some rest!!!
Hi Geoff, It’s 11:20 am and snowing in Ansonia in the Hilltop section near the Woodbridge line. Here we go!
Rain … so far … here in Branford. Making chicken soup.
Its raining in West Haven at 12 noon but feels as if it is getting much colder now. All in all Im looking forward to snow. I live in CT to enjoy all the seasons it has to offer. Geoff thank you for working so hard to keep us up to date on the weather. I have counted on you for 25 years and will always turn to you for my weather needs. Stay safe and stay warm……but please DONT GO TO SLEEP YET!
At 12:20 it’s snowing heavily in Milford–and starting to stick!
Thanks, Geoff. Your forecast is the one I trust.
