Almost half of the 6z GEFS ENS bring the 0.5" line to the west of NYC. Many members are a good bit wetter their 00z members. A few even show the 0.75" line on NYC.

A third of those members show .75 to 1 across long island , so if there's a trend here its our way, think when all said and done the model prob show .50 accross most of the area and more further east. The RGEM shows 15. To 20 CM across Suffolk county so you can see how the models are now seeing the deepening

Careful. The rgem is warmer for LI too, and it shows at least half of the precip as rain.

You'll be alright, temps won't get above 34 or 35 before snow starts and dewpoints will be down in the middle 20s. Also little if any wind component.

It's going to be hard for the snow to stick on the island. Unless it comes down at a good clip so evap cooling can take place and cool the surface temps. This is a piece from the 6z nam text output with temperatures above freezing up to 950mb when the best vv's occur and precip. During that time according to the nam .19 falls during that time.

1000mb Temp ©: 3.3 (hr36) 2.4 (hr39)

975mb Temp ©: 1.5 1.5

950mb Temp ©: 0.5 1.2

I would be more confident about heavy enough rates if the best UVV's were further west instead of just off shore.

Posted above but here is the graphical representation..the RGEM trended west a good bit at 06z and is only a few miles away from bringing the goods...in fact it still brings 10-15mm of snow to Northeast NJ/NYC.

Quite a few models are near misses with the coastal precip shield, the high res NAM and old ETA both just miss also, a 50 mile shift would bring it onshore, maybe not even that.

992 from 1008 gotta believe that precip shield is more robust if u run it to the bm

Guest Patrick

probably would be closer to 2 than 4 in the western most areas...but a general 2-4 is a good forecast. Some will have more lift, better ratios to balance out the lack of precip.

From Mt. Hollly. I think these numbers might be a bit high in Western sections given the best dynamics will be at or near the coast.
