If the 12z suite comes in more amplified and with a big storm, I'll start getting excited. You would hope models come together at this stage-we're pretty close in now and the models should be able to sample the relevant features.

It's probably now or never. We're almost inside 48 hours from the onset of precip and the models have had a chance to properly sample the shortwaves in question. Looks like it will all come down to that last shortwave and when and if it can phase in. A late phase and you get a 00z Euro type solution. A missed phase or a sloppy phase and it's way OTS.

12z NAM at hr 36 is already sharper with the trough than 6Z.

12Z(hr36)

6Z(hr42)

Thought so too, just not sure if it's significant. For some reason the NAM is running painfully slow on e-wall. Been stuck at hr 36 for awhile.

At hr 42 you can see a bit more of a height build on the east coast when compared to hr 48 of the 6z.

A closer look at the 12z NAM shows that even with such supressed disorganized track the city south and east would have surface temp issues, despite the 850 freezing line being well SE.

No they dont.

Soundings have the city at 28.1 as the precip moves in and 31.9 by the time it ends at hour 54.

And that's going off the NAM's dry and no dynamics solution, which is a big outlier at this point.

From Upton's forecast discussion:

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN A MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FOR

THE REGION ON SATURDAY.

WEAK RIDGING WILL BE EXITING TO THE EAST EARLY SAT AS

DOUBLE-BARRELED LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST...

WITH ONE WEAKENING CENTER WEST OF THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...AND A

SOUTHERN STREAM LOW MOVING FROM THE GULF COAST TOWARD THE SE COAST.

THE LOW SHOULD EXIT THE SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC COAST SAT AFTERNOON

AND STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY SAT NIGHT AS IT PHASES WITH THE NRN

STREAM. EARLIER RUNS OF THE ECMWF INDICATED THAT THIS PHASING WOULD

TAKE PLACE FAR ENOUGH EAST TO LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW

TO THE FORKS OF LONG ISLAND AT MOST...BUT NOW THE 00Z ECMWF...IN A

SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED OVERALL PATTERN EXTENDING FROM THE NE

PACIFIC TO THE CONUS...SWINGS THE BOMBING LOW VERY CLOSE TO THE

40N/70W BENCHMARK SAT NIGHT...WITH SIGNIFICANT QPF FROM NYC METRO

EAST. THE 00Z GFS HAS MOVED TOWARD A MORE AMPLIFIED SOLUTION AS

WELL...AND LEAST HALF ITS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS...IN A NOD TO THE 00Z

ECMWF...ARE TRACKING NW OF THE OPERATIONAL RUN AND ARE MORE INTENSE.

THIS YIELDS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN AT LEAST ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOWFALL

OF 3 INCHES OR MORE FOR THE ENTIRE CWA...AND LOW TO MEDIUM

CONFIDENCE IN SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FOR LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHERN

CT...WHICH WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN HWO.

Lol, did a member of this message board write that up? It sounds exactly like how any number of members here would post to describe the model analysis depicting a SECS/MECS in this area. :weenie::snowing::clap::snowman::mapsnow:

Agree with you 100% . Right now we have Ukie & Euro on board & GFS wasnt bad last night. If it amplifies further with a slightly bigger phase one hr from now ull have a bynch of folks climaxing on here!
