Nikolai Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's not going to snow in Manhattan at any point during this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 also: this weather is absolutely horrific and this is probably the worst start to spring I can ever remember. AWFUL. (one of the huge positives of DC over NYC is that spring is much more reliably WARM there without backdoor fronts every other day. those are definitely my least favorite thing since moving here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 In the April Fools 1997 storm, it was dynamic cooling, not evaporational cooling, that eventually led to rain changing to snow. The day before precip. began (Mar 30), high temps were in the mid 60s in the NYC area, with dew points in the low to mid 40s. A question. My (very unscientific) observation re: these April snowstorms is that prior to the start of precip, the weather is clear and very dry (e.g. '97 & '82). Since there was plenty of opportunity for evaporational cooling -- even as warm as it was on 3/31/97 -- we get snow. Today, we have the atmosphere really mositening up. My (unscientific) conclusion: not much chance of accumulating snow. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 N > S this morning - Yorktown down to Yonkers was "lightweight raindrops" or semi frozen precip mixed with graupel type stuff then rain the rest of the way south through the Bronx and into the city. I should add that it was between 34 and 38*, fluctuating depending on precip intensity. Heavier rates seemed to bring colder air down dropping it 2-3* each time but never quite getting it down to 32.

Isotherm Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 RN/+RN and 39/39 at Villanova. 480ft Hopefully we can get a slushy inch with the wraparound tomorrow morning, just to finish off the season. 18z NAM has 850's going sub 0c by 6-7z in SE PA, probably wet snowflakes mixing in by then. But lower BL looks too warm until around 12-13z for anything accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Cool-- maybe this is trending like the last storm did. /quote] The banding is pretty isolated from this initial burst, however. Looks like some good echoes on central LI but the stuff to the south is lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
