Winter '17 / '18 - Snow Storm #6: Call for Forecasts!

Boston Commons
MAR-1933

Miller B cyclogenesis off the Carolina coast at the start of the forecast period expected to saunter leisurely up the coast and deepen through FRI.  Marginal vertical temperature profiles near the coast will make for a challenging forecast.

NWP suggests additional accumulations may be observed over extreme northern stations after the verification period ends; however ... amounts should be relatively minor.

The forecast contest for Snow Storm #6 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if fewer than six stations are likely to observe at least a 4" snowfall.
