WHOLESALE UPDATE TO NEAR TERMS GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR MUCH QUICKER

DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY PRECIP. LIKELY CAUSE FOR POOR MODEL HANDLING

WAS DUE TO PROLIFIC CONVECTION OVER THE GULF...INTERRUPTING MODEL

HANDLING OF SUB TROPICAL MOISTURE FEED.

Me too, I also said that the 00Z GFS had the low tucked in closer to the coast at 18hrs.

Mod snow in Somerset county, NJ. Coastal front looks to be moving just to the east of the area, but intensity should pick up as it scrapes by. Beautiful scene out there and more than an appetizer waiting for tonight's plastering.

Looks like that heavy band down by Philly area is gonna hit us too...how much do you have so far? When I left around 8:30 I think we had about 2 inches...should be at least 4 by now

Current Obs - East Setauket, NY:

Haven't measure yet, but looks like about 2".

T - 32F

Wind G15MPH

Moderate snow.

Going with a general 8-12"+, will probably change that to a solid 10"-15" later on as long as everything looks good with the second half of this storm for this evening/tonight.

Measured 1.4" of snow in Port Jefferson at 11:05 AM...it has been snowing for a little less than 3 hours. I'm no Debbie Downer, but looking at some of the warm air aloft, I would say there is a good possibility for a period of mixed precipitation over almost all of Long Island sometime between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM. On the bright side, I think L.I. will likely see some of the heaviest snowfall amounts after 7:00 PM...and if a changeover is brief this afternoon, some very good totals will be realized out here.

I agree, the RUC especially is quite aggressive with this warm layer and what precip we have left this afternoon should be some kind of mix for most of us. Hopefully though, that's when the lull between both rounds takes place and the cold air is quick to move back in for the thumping later tonight.

A general 12" sounds like a good call for now, but depending on the banding that develops we could see more. A lot of places from the immediate NYC area west are already at 3-4".

Oh by the way, the 12Z NAM/GFS show an interesting threat at 54-60 and the clipper after 72...

lol 54-60? and 72? So we might actually have 5 straight days of measurable snow? (Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat?) When was the last time that happened? Then we have another big storm looming on the horizon, Tues and Wed next week!
