As of 7 the totals are decreasing and now 3-5 inches along the coast are expected with near a foot inland.

This change is because of a slight shift in track. By slight I mean about 5 miles to the west.

The inversion should align to provide a layer of warm air aloft that should, potentially bring a period of freezing rain to the immediate coast Saturday evening. This will make for hazardous walking conditions sunday morning as a layer of ice is covered by snow. The storm track changed in the last 1/2 hour and the forecast changed as a result. The track and forecast will likely change again so stay tuned for updates.

The extremely powerful nor’easter scheduled for Sunday will hit Saturday night will drop 4-8 inches along the coast with slightly higher amounts inland.

This is a VERY hard forecast with most of the global models pointing to a potent storm undergoing cyclogenesis around 40N 70W with heavy snow bands wrapping onshore late saturday night. The proximity to land and exact track will play a VERY important role in the  forecast for snow and wind. A more westerly track will limit the snowfall totals due to rain changeover. If this westerly track were to play out than we would have a potentially historic ice storm on our hands.

If the system were to track slightly east than the coast would see a lot of snow with totals approaching a foot or more. This track is suggested by the GFS and WRF models

We will have to see what track plays out and I will post updates as needed.

Stay tuned

As of 5 Rina is a 50 mph tropical storm.

97L is re-organizing and has a 10%  chance of developing. I would agree.

98L is an extratropical low with some respical amount of convection

We will have to watch all of them.
