Snow potential Thursday night and Saturday 1/19 to 1/21

Just checked the 0z GFS ensemble members and all of them are south and cold for our area.

Thats solid. Exactly what I need here... looks like there will finally be a nice snowy beach this weekend!

Like I said last night when this bipolar board was in a down phase south and are solid after the event earlier this week despite much worse synoptics still delivered some surprise frozen precip.

Come on :weenie: maps! Hopefully 6z doesn't mirror 18z runs :axe:

Those seem to be a decently fair representation of what the Euro shows, to be honest. They are generally too bullish near the coast, though. So keep that in mind. But for NJ/SE NY and probably even to a certain extent NYC...those are pretty reasonable.

Yeah, seems to me they usually don't take the ocean into effect much.

It will definitely be interesting to see the SREF's now at 245. The NAM was very far north compared to all other 00z global guidance.

Also...pay very close attention to any potential north bumps through the next 24 hours. They are a well known trait of SWFEs. In the last five + years I have only seen two SWFE type events that didn't trend north over the last 48 hours..and they both occurred during a period of strong blocking.

yeah that's why im hoping we see an even further south trend tomorrow to counter that last minute bump north..But i guess what could be in our favor with no blocking is the progressive pattern and no time for this wave to amplify, so hopefully this thing just races east under those nice high pressures and we stay all snow. It would be a great sign to see the srefs go colder

I think the AO crashing might help us out in the end. Time will tell though.

Really believe that a north bump is likely in the end, even if only marginal. That would all but insure that this becomes a primarily liquid event for the coastal plain. Hoping against that. However, the lack of upstream blocking is worrisome, as is the 60+ hour time frame which gives ample time for changes.

I know the focus is on the weekend system. However, the 00z GFS looks about as awful as it's been all season in the mid and long range. If this weekend's snow is a swing and a miss, it may be a long time before another chance comes along.
