If I had to make a forecast:

Winter Storm Watches for all interior areas.

1" - 3" for coastal locations near NYC and on colder surfaces only as ground temps. will clearly be a problem unless the precip. comes down heavy at times, which at some point it probably will.

Euro ends with .83" for NYC.

850's stay below the entire time. Surface fluctuates from 34-36.

Long duration event. Starts Wednesday 6amish and lasts thru Thursday 2pmish.

I'm hoping for a nice, non-accumulating steady light/mod snow in the city. 35 and rain will make me want to jump in front of a subway train.

32 hour event? that will not happen

Some of its from the system moving across the country...then when the costal takes over it throws preciep back......so there is breaks prob between the two main batches......if you look at a piece of guidence you would understand this.

Surface of 32-34 can accumulate on roads w/ mod to hvy snow, but 34-36 is basically a grass event. In fact this may be an event where road impacts are contained outside of NYC, since it will be very difficult to stick, assuming those sfc temps verify.

While I am the first to cheer on chaos, we saw a lot of road accumulation this year and plenty of havoc. This snow, for the immediate City on south, will be a grass and tree event till night time but will still be very pretty to watch.

The end of the storm as the 850 starts to crank should bring hazardous road conditions to all.

Exactly. Euro now has the 2 part storm that JCONSOR has been alluding to all day.

The overrunning stuff is early tomorrow morning. And then the coastal precip is tomorrow afternoon and night.

GREAT sign to see the euro have this. Better chance to accumulate with the 2nd part of the storm, as the maximum daytime effects are over.

Doesn't the Euro typically have a warm bias? I'm not saying that's the case here but I've heard it mentioned before.

Even the surface isnt that warm on euro. Its running 34-36 for NYC and 32-34 for HPN area and NWNJ. For the euro, that is fine.

Euro as is is probably a wet snow event for NYC and coast, accumulating on grass and other cold spots. And as Trials said, once the maximum heating is over, around 5pm, it will start to accumulate on pavement and once night falls, on some roads.

Agreed - probably unlikely it will stick to the roads in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and all but NE Queens, unless there is a burst of heavier snow at night. However, the Euro has a bias of being slightly too warm on sfc temps, esp. in events where there is a strong high to the N/NW.

Those low temps don't factor in the NYC heat island. I would be very surprised if NYC gets below 25F at any point in the next week. I can see upper teens/low 20s in suburban areas, esp. on nights where the wind diminishes (Fri night looks like a good candidate at this point).

The cold on euro is nuts. It has low temps in the upper teens and lower 20's on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with highs in the 30's on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I hope you enjoy the 40 and rain we'll be getting for the next couple weeks. Unless you live way outside the city and have some elevation, I doubt there will be much in the way of accumulating snow. Sorry. April is just over one week away. Chances of accumulating snow in the immediate NYC metro decrease exponentially by the day.

thats not the point, dood!

this is a discussion thread about this potential event. you are putting WAY TOO MUCH emotions into this. do i want it to be 70 and sunny? yes. but I am not gonna go into a thread like this and try to drill my FEELINGS into this and get worked up over anyone that wants to enjoy the snow. get it?

Agree, I'd probably lean towards the NAM's surface temps (although those are sometimes slightly too cold). I'm thinking NYC will be around 33-34F most of the storm, maybe briefly down to 32F late Wednesday night if heavier bands move through.

Either way, GFS is clearly on its own here. Should be interesting to see when (if) it caves at 18z.

I agree anything lower than the 20s in the city would be pushing into record territory on some of those days. I've been watching this cold potential for a few days and this may/should be the bigger story through next Monday.

Record lows NYC end of march

3/26 20 (1960)

3/27 20 (1894)

3/28 13 (1923)

3/29 10 (1923)

3/30 16 (1887)

3/31 14 (1923)
