Alright, first map of the year. This deals with wave number one rolling through later today into tonight. Pretty self explanatory, I highlighted a region where I think the best chance for accumulating snow might occur, and I only think it's going to be mainly under 2 inches and probably an inch or less in most circumstances. I don't see much support through the SREFs for anything more than that like there was a couple days ago so I feel this is a pretty safe and conservative map. The outer dashed region can expect a possible changeover to a brief period of snow or just some flakes at the very end with little or no accumulations.

Nice forecast. It's somewhat encouraging that both the NAM and GFS seem to have trended toward a bit more precip with 850s <0 for the first event, but certainly there isn't much justification for more than rain ending as a few snow showers in this area.

CTP getting back on board http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=CTP&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

LATEST MODEL TREND HAS PLACED A POTENTIAL SNOW EVENT BACK ON THE

TABLE FOR SATURDAY ACROSS THE SE THIRD...TO HALF OF THE CWA.

00Z EC IS ONCE AGAIN THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH THE STRENGTH /SUB 1000

MB BY MIDDAY SAT JUST EAST OF KSBY/ OF THE SFC LOW...AND ALMOST IN

THE EXACT LOCATION TO WHERE IT HAD THE LOW WITH ITS EARLIER RUN 48

HOURS - BEFORE A TEMPORARY TREND TO THE EAST WITH ITS PAST FEW

RUNS.

GEFS IS ALSO QUITE OMINOUS WITH THE WET SNOW POTENTIAL NEAR AND JUST

TO THE SE OF I-81...SHOWING A A MEAN LEQ OF 0.60 AT KMDT IN THE

FORM OF SNOW...AND SEVERAL MEMBERS INDICATING WELL OVER AN INCH OF

QPF IN THE FROZEN FORM AT KMDT....NORTHEAST TO KAVP.

NOT SURPRISING WITH IT`S STORM TRACK HUGGING THE DELMARVA PENINSULA

IS THAT THE EC`S SNOW ALGORITHM PAINTS 10-12 INCHES OF SNOW AROUND

MDT...THV AND LNS...NE TO THE SRN POCONOS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY.

EVEN IF STEADIER AND HEAVIER SNOW DOES MOVE INTO THIS REGION...

TEMPS IN THE 30S TO LOWER 40S WOULD GREATLY REDUCE AMOUNTS BELOW

WHAT THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND STILL "OUTLIER" EC SUGGESTS.

IN CONTRAST...THE 00Z NAM...GFS...CANADIAN GEM...AND SREF ALL SHOW A

SLIGHTLY WEAKER AND FUIRTHER EAST SFC LOW TRACK...WITH THE

LIKELIHOOD OF LIGHT QPF /0.10 - 0.25 OF AN INCH / AND SOME WET SNOW

ACROSS OUR SERN ZONES. THE QPF GRADIENT IN EACH OF THESE MODELS IN

FURTHER SE AND TIGHTEST NEAR...AND JUST NW OF INTERSTATE 81.

BASED ON THIS LATEST PLETHORA OF STILL CONFLICTING GUIDANCE...I DID

PAINT IN A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION SATURDAY...CONFINED

MAINLY TO THE RIDGES JUST ON THE NW SIDE OF I-81.

Yeah when I quote you is spaced back out.

Thank you!

Who's your provider? Accuwx? If so, does the Euro load any faster? There was such a lag time...which is why I left the service.

The NMM WRF from NCEP has a nice band of snow which develops over Ohio and slides eastward tonight:

http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller?prevPage=Model&MainPage=index&model=HRW-NMM-EUS&area=EUS&areaDesc=Eastern+United+States&page=Model&prevModel=&prevArea=EUS&currKey=model&prevKey=model&cat=MODEL+GUIDANCE

It's actually showing a good 0.25"-0.50" below 0C at 850, most of which falls with 850mb temperatures of -3C or lower.

This is similar to the feature that's been showing up on other models, but more potent.

yea I have access to accuwx pro though the text output is about all I use it for. Text updates somewhat fast but images for euro lag quite a bit compared to what I can find elsewhere.

But, of course, then the 12z NAM says almost no moisture once the cold arrives again. :arrowhead:

It is the Nam, it is always the last to cave in. I member doing the big snow storms of 09-10 the Nam didn't show the north trend till like 24hrs out.

Truth. The NAM is insistent against most other models that the northern feature will not dig as much.

And then go to Model Guidance -> EUS -> HRW-NMM-EUS

12z GFS has come west... my concern is timing... we will see temperature issues in lower elevations during the day Saturday... this would be better to happen overnight Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday...

edit: Reason for temperature concerns are solar radiation still playing a factor now compared to december/january... this will be on tough call to forecast if most of it ends up elevation based
