3/1- Here comes Gavin...rain midweek too!

Good Sunday all-

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for everyone for 4-6" widespread with locally higher amounts...with which I generally agree. The storm should begin at about 2-4 this afternoon, earlier southeast. There is unlikely to be any mixing whatsoever in this one, and the highest amounts should be either on the immediate shoreline or just east of Hartford. I think someone picks up 8" from this, but it could really be anywhere, so expect to get around 6" as a statewide average...which justifies naming this one Gavin for WFSB, which is the 7th named storm of the winter, inching closer to the record that we shall not get to, as we incredibly remain less than halfway to it (We'd need 8 more named storms to even tie it- 1995-96's Winter Storm Olivia will remain). That said, this continues to have been a truly epic winter that people in New England will be talking about for generations. The snow depth will likely have peaked after the storm tonight, so enjoy it before some gets washed away by a rather severe rainstorm on Wednesday, though the models are trending colder.
