danstorm Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Downsloping taking its toll, as expected. And low dews... 24/0 at KNYC... I'm not sure why Upton bumped their forecast - I'd go D-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 And low dews... 24/0 at KNYC... I'm not sure why Upton bumped their forecast - I'd go D-1. Places to the west are seeing snow with dew points in the single digits. I agree with you about a dusting to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 DCA started snowing with an RH of only 40% and the downsloping was handled well by the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Remember, surface RH doesn't mean much, its about moistening up the several thousand feet of dry air above that. The surface RH won't go up til the snow reaches the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcad1 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't see it!! looks like to me everything to our sw is moving almost due east.. Maybe it comes close too eastern Suffolk later but I don't see anything West of there. Not really sure why Upton has western Nassau at 1.5 we'll be lucky if we see that many flakes...

TWCCraig Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Upton: GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM TONIGHT ALONG WITH QPF AMOUNTS. AN UPPER SHORTWAVE TRACKS TOWARDS THE AREA THIS EVENING AS A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. AS THE SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO DIG EAST...A SECONDARY LOW FORMS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST. THIS LOW BECOMES THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF QPF...ALL SNOW...TONIGHT AND THE CWA IS ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THIS. EXPECT SNOW TO BEGIN AROUND 5-6PM FOR FAR WESTERN ZONES AND TRACK QUICKLY EAST AND BE OUT OF THE AREA BY 4-5AM. QPF AMOUNTS FOR THIS EVENT ARE VERY LIGHT...0.05-0.1 OF AN INCH. WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 20S OVERNIGHT AND THE COLUMN SATURATED MOSTLY WITH RESPECT TO ICE...EXPECT SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS TO BE AROUND 20:1. THIS WILL RESULT IN A LIGHT AND DRY SNOW ACCUMULATION OF HALF INCH TO AN INCH OUT WEST AND 1-2 INCHES OVER LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST CONNECTICUT. AREAS ON THE EAST END OF LONG ISLAND COULD SEE CLOSER TO TWO INCHES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Upton .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL OF ONE TO TWO INCHES IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ON EASTERN LONG ISLAND. IT IS COLD ENOUGH THAT THE SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE AND MAY CAUSE SLIPPERY TRAVEL ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Idiots... Naming winter storms was probably one of the worst ideas they've ever had. When people watch and see a nothing like this get a name, they laugh at every other one that could be a lot worse that comes down the line.
