Yes let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have some warm to very warm weather ahead of us but also a lot of damp at least partially rainy days with temperatures in the 40s. We'll take the warmth when it comes. WX/PT

Based on today's pattern you forecasting next winter? This pattern can flip on a dime. Don't bet on it. WX/PT

Well there is February 23rd where the models have solutions ranging from suppression to tracking just to our northwest along an approaching cold front. The are a few milder days and a storm tracking into the Great Lakes but I think it's foolish now that we've seen a colder pattern and some snowfall to dismiss the idea that the colder pattern would reload sometime in March. So I do think most likely there will be at least two more snow threats this season after tomorrow night. WX/PT

For my neck of the woods, western LI and Queens it's I think going to snow heavily from 7AM-Noon then end pretty quickly. I cannot really see anyone around me getting much more than 5" with an isolated 6" here and there. It will look great coming down, silver dollar flakes, but it will have trouble at first sticking at all to the pavement. Still, the pavement will get a few inches. Now if there were more blocking and the storm slowed down, it could be twice as much. But I don't see that happening. WX/PT

The ensembles seem to me to be pointing to an extremely dry pattern over the most of the mid Atlantic and northeastern states the next 2-3 weeks. As of right now, it is difficult for me to imagine how any southern stream system gets far enough north to affect areas north of N.C., Va. Of course that could change. But the will the colder air masses be cold enough and locked in if it were to change? I'm getting a little bit doubtful. WX/PT

I think you're refusing to see an evolving pattern that could end up very exciting and is interesting along the way with some threats on the maps. Why you see the glass half empty rather than half full? I don't know but not my problem. WX/PT

I'd like to see a few more models showing it. But my gut feeling is that it will be, yes. WX/PT

It's back. And right now with CMC indicating snow over the mid Atlantic States the likely track would keep this too far to our south and east and we'd stay high and dry. But the HP position is perfect on this run. It would only take some subtle changes to cause this system to track a little further north or turn up the east coast (less likely but still not impossible). So we watch and wait but it's still NOT boring. WX/PT

You are reciting the Euro verbatim. It's 9 days away. Nobody knows where the surface low and upper low are going to actually end up. The model will go through many not so subtle changes from day to day for the next 5-7 days. But you're settling for model output exactly as it is 9 days out. WX/PT

Two runs in a row pointing to a major storm of some kind somewhere on the east coast on February 5th. Yes, temperatures are marginal but this kind of storm can make its own cold air and its centered around February 5th, a rather historic time-frame. Not only that comparing last night's run to this one, changes are not subtle from run to run, last night's run being colder. I think it's worth watching this. WX/PT

Boom! It's not boring. WX/PT

This might or might get this far north but not boring. WX/PT

Major northeastern coast winter storm potential brews on European model Sunday night into Monday as cold air presses south from eastern Canada. WX/PT

I do NOT think our winter weather or wintry precip is over here in the NYC Metro Region. The models are showing an active storm track developing across the south and fresh cold high pressure systems keep getting pulled southeastward from eastern and central Canada. We will just need some timing cooperation. For January 28th it looks just a hair too warm to me at the start but it could end as snow, even maybe accumulating snow in some locations. As we work our way into February things might get better with the timing. Though temperatures could quite possibly continue to average near or slightly above normal. WX/PT

At 72 hours CMC looks great for significant snow on Friday. GFS is just a whiff, not much at all. I think something closer to the CMC is the way to go here. It would have far greater potential if it slowed down which doesn't look likely. WX/PT

My feeling is that this storm will not over perform. There are two greatly inhibiting factors. The models projecting the most precip for the area develop the low pressure center very close to the area and vertical velocities are much lower than what we usually see for the NYC Metro Region to get over 2" of snow. CMC has us changing to rain at the end. But to me the first red flag, low vertical velocity numbers tell me the snow could be quite light. WX/PT

Pretty good look here. I guess the models were waiting for you all to go to sleep. Of course GGEM is extremely amped up changing the snow to rain in coastal areas. WX/PT

Once you lose the colder air you're not getting it back unless there's a new source. The storm could make its own cold air if the peak vertical velocities stay overhead long enough. But often times they don't. We'll have to see. the maps even with my cataracts still show rain. The heavy rain is visible just east of the r/s line in Queens. I'm not sure if the wrap around snow gets in here. The storm is moving quickly rain almost into Boston. WX/PT- 3,610 replies
