I'm coming from the south (Carribean). It's direct, so I can deal with delays. It's more the fear of cancellations, b/c if I get cancelled, who knows when I get home.

It's more of the snow versus rain. Snow I'm screwed, rain is manageable.

Danbury Data from the 12z runs of Euro, GFS, NAM models. Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon.

All agree on a lot of rain in 24hrs. NAM the most and warmest.

Euro with 1.87"
GFS with 2.03"
NAM with 4.67"

Euro & GFS show snow before it enters for few hours and as its leaving. Not mounting to anything though. Connecticut's best chance at white stuff is Tuesday night and Wed evening but nothing to worry about. Local Flooding, wind and heavy rain is looking like the issue.

Surface temp in mid 50s at the peak

The high winds caused the annual Stamford Thanksgiving parade to ban the big balloons for the first time in its 20 year history (slightly less as they didnt have the balloons the first few years).

Ive heard that Macy's have never stopped the balloons due to weather (though I once read they came close during the rain/wet snow Noreaster in 1971 I mentioned earlier). Would have been interesting if wednesdays predicted storm was one day later (though some models have an almosy exact rerun of todays weather on Turkey Day in the storm's wake)

Saw this on CNN, had a chuckle:

Anchor pleads for better snow photos in on-air rant - CNN.com Video

Something I don't quite get myself. Though this is a video from Colorado, it's still a plague on CT News stations.

New NAM has shifted East 50-75 miles dropping the snow line south more allowing colder air to be in place.

I started a thread on this storm in the Weather forum. I will not be updating as much in this CT thread since snow is not a threat...as of now. Don't want to clutter this thread much.

So if you want updates save this link and subscribe to the thread so you get an alert for every post. I don't get paid to do all this folks but I hope you all are safe and enjoy tracking this storm with me.

Thanks, I will too but not as many especially if its not involving CT. I Want to keep it on topic as much as I can.. Only if it keeps trending east I'll start posting a lot.

I'm always amazed how far out we can detect these potential storms.

Keeps showing the "storm"... too early to say what still

A little discussion update:

Upton:

AS A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE DIGS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION
MON NIGHT AND A CUTOFF LOW PRES SYSTEM IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM
TRACKS THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...THE TWO WILL MERGE INTO A
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH A STRENGTHENING SFC LOW TRACKING UP
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND EAST COAST. THE PAST 3 RUNS OF THE
GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY IN AGREEMENT WITH A SOLN CLOSER TO THE
COAST...LIKE THE REMAINING GUIDANCE HAS BEEN INDICATING FOR THE
LAST FEW DAYS. IT DOES REMAIN THE EASTERNMOST SOLN OF ALL OF THE
GUIDANCE...WHICH HAS TRENDED A BIT FURTHER W OVER THE LAST 24
HOURS. THIS TREND WILL RESULT IN MILD TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH SOME WET SNOW POSSIBLE ON THE BACKSIDE AS THE STORM LIFTS
OUT. THIS WILL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY COLDER AIR WORKS IN AND IF
THERE IS STILL PRECIPITATION OCCURRING. MODELS ARE ALSO INDICATING
A SLIGHTLY WETTER SOLN. THE NAM HAS UPWARDS OF 5-7 INCHES ACROSS
WESTERN ZONES...BUT THINK THIS IS OVERDONE. SEE HYDRO SECTION FOR
MORE INFORMATION ON AMOUNTS AND IMPACTS.

IN ADDITION TO THE RAIN...WHICH COULD BE MODERATE TO HEAVY AT
TIMES...WINDS WILL INCREASE AS WELL. INDICATIONS OF A 60-70 KT LLJ
EXIST...ALTHOUGH SOUNDINGS ARE INVERTED AND WOULD KEEP MUCH OF
THIS ALOFT. BEHIND THE STORM...GUSTY NW WINDS WILL BE
LIKELY WED NIGHT INTO THU...BUT APPEAR TO BE SUB-ADVSY AT THIS TIME.
