February 24/25 Potential Winter Storm
HeadInTheClouds replied to mikem81's topic in New York City Metro
The soundings for the CMC are 6 hour increments. The CMC which is the warmest of the models still gives a couple inches well south of 84. How many times have we seen precip come in faster than modeled and a cold arctic high underestimated by models? How many? The moderate/heavy snows will likely be north of 84 but it's very plausible to see snow south of 84. Look at the 12z's, every model gives anywhere from 1-4 north of NYC up to 84. -

I’m 20 miles north of 84 and the warm cmc gives me 6 inches. I’m not buying the sleetfest for everybody. Places north of NYC and south of 84 will see some snow before changeover. -

Yup. CMC also had a lot of sleet for NYC. -
Sure it is.

QPF by me went from .74 12z to 1.15 on 18z and snowfall increased from 7 to 12. Who knows? It looked better at H5 for late next weekend also. -

Yeah, temp wise its been slightly above normal to date(1.4 degrees) and that includes a very warm December, but we have been shafted with the snow amounts. -

That map includes what falls Thursday night/Friday. Below is the map of what Euro shows for next Sunday. Right now it has zero support though. -

Yes I know. I was just stating what the Euro was showing. -

The thing that stands out on that for me is Albany's 17.2 VS 40.5 average. I'm in the same boat, only 15.5 so far and well below average. Hoping I can make some of that up in the next month. -

It's just too early to say any thing is factual 4 days out. NYC could absolutely get a minor 1-2 inch front end dump of snow. -

FWIW Euro also has something interesting next Sunday last few runs. -

I'll take the 7 inches it gives me for sure but again way too early. Yesterday at 12z it was giving everybody .5-.6 liquid equivalent and today it's up to .8-1.0 for most. We track. -

Agree. -

They do favor northern areas. The higher your latitude the likely more snow and the changeover to sleet/ZR is delayed. -

The models often tend to overestimate the mid level warming in these situations and it's still over 4 days away. NYC getting a few hours of front end snow is still plausible and those details we really don't know at this point. -

I do hate it, especially for east coast storms, but I'm not throwing anything out 4.5 days away and act like nothing can change. I don't believe NYC is getting anywhere near the 6 inches it shows but some some front end snow is still in play. The Cmc tends to have a warm bias also. Still too early to be making definitive statements. That was my point. -

You've seen enough? It's over 4 days away. The city could still see a few hours of snow at the beginning before changeover. GFS still gives metro a a good amount on front end. Not saying it's right but way too early to be turning off the lights on the front end snows. This has always been a system that the further north you are the more snow but NYC could definitely see some. -

I think you are jumping the gun on that right now. Even the CMC keeps NYC metro mostly frozen. -
February 24/25 Potential Winter Storm
HeadInTheClouds replied to mikem81's topic in New York City Metro
Yup, I noticed that too, it's less amped and in and out pretty quickly. It does give most .5-.7 liquid equivalent though which for me is snow and sleet. Long way to go with this. -

According to him every event is either a torch or a miss and yet it still snows. -
Not here unfortunately. Got 10 minutes of moderate/heavy snow and some gusty winds but nothing near whiteout. About 10 miles north of me got a heavy squall.
