I want to be clear from the beginning here that I am not as aggressive in my forecast as the National Weather Service is. Sometimes this happens. We aren’t always all on the same page with stuff. My forecast is lower especially for coastal areas.

Last night’s NAM model run was very aggressive in developing a coastal low just to our south and east and while I could see how this happens, I can also see pitfalls. Models in general are trending colder which would favor more snow but the amounts will depend on the fast development of this coastal low.

The problem is that the NAM basically stood alone last night with its depiction of a heavy round of snow Saturday night into the early morning hours on Sunday. While the aggressive nature of the model is possible I would feel better about the higher amounts if there was some support coming from the others and for now it just doesn’t seem to be there. So for now I stand with the lower amounts which are at least 1/2 of what the Weather Service is forecasting especially along the immediate coast.
