Cant wait... snowwindow.gifhotdog.gifhotdog.gif

I'm still convinced most people away from urban areas, especially KEWR's tropical subclimate, will see flakes to start..possibly sleet as well (although the warm layer near H850 does get pretty broad, so it might be a flakes or rain type deal).

It might not last long, and it's not the most exciting thing...but at this point in the season, flakes are flakes. :snowman:

I think Areas 50+ miles NW of the coast start as sn flip to an extended period of ip/zr then plain rain early friday morning..

The level of evaporational cooling is pretty impressive, no matter how you look at it, on model forecasts. Having temperatures fall back several degrees to the mid 30's in November during the mid-afternoon is pretty impressive. A glance at the forecast soundings and regional OBS suggests several things to me. First of all, the precipitation is going to have a pretty big mountain to climb, and it's going to take some stronger WAA to get the moisture up into our area. The soundings indicate this with warming mid level temperatures by afternoon tomorrow. Especially in situations like this, the mid level warm air push is often under-forecast..which suggests to me the potential for sleet, especially given the degree of dry air in place at the moment. I think most areas away from the city start as sleet--then flip to rain. For areas further north and west and with more elevation, things may become a bit more dicey, where the chance for snow and freezing rain may continue for up to a couple of hours during the initial batch of precipitation.

how wet do you think the the game at the meadowlands be?

i'm hoping that band pushes thru and leaves a window for the game.

i hope its not bad enough for any delays, but the precip should be here by gametime unfortunately, but shouldnt be too heavy. Go Jets!

Even despite the layer of clouds it is absolutely frigid outside. I just took my cousins dog for a walk...call it the first time I came back absolutely frozen since last winter. I like what I feel.

I was walking my dog tonight and know what you're talking about. It's not like temps are that cold tonight ... it's still only in the upper 30s here. We've certainly had many nights so far this season that were colder than this, due to radiational cooling. But despite the temps not being as cold tonight, it just felt different. You can feel a bite in the air that was not there other nights. You can just feel how close winter is.

Monthly departure roundup:

EWR: +1.2

NYC: +1.0

TTN: +0.8

PHL: +1.4

It will be real close for most locations whether we can break the above normal streak. It wasnt looking this close a week agao with the expected cold.

Our overnight lows are killing us. With the exception of two warm afternoons, we haven't had any real heat. The lows however have been farther away from average and at the end of the month it adds up. Like you said, it's going to be real close now that the deep freeze is off the table.

The NAM looks like it busted too slow, the precipitation is a few hours ahead of where yesterday's NAM runs had it, which isn't too surprising given its slow bias. While it will take some time until the precipitation can reach NYC, probably until at least early this afternoon, there's a chance I could see some snow/sleet in NE NJ, with frozen precipitation a lock for NW NJ.

Upton for some reason is still expecting only a 30% chance of light rain for almost all of their area after 3 PM... I'm pretty sure that will be changed later today.

Yeah I think there going warm and slow on this one...looks to be busting already as many areas that were expected to have only rain have already reported snow and sleet

Upton has a loong history with this up this way.. Its almost like they purposely wait for the precip to start before making an accurate forecast.

It's pretty clear by looking at the NWS graphical forecast that Upton is the outlier in this case. Everyone else has moderate snow/sleet around 1 PM and they have a few rain showers, and they have POP chances way too low.

football delays?

no such thing.... except for the 3 so far at the meadowlands this season. :arrowhead:

they've been delayed twice by too much electricity (lightning). :lightning:

and delayed once by not enough electricity (power failure). :unsure:
