It was pointed out in the NW forum that several SREF members have two different areas of banding. The 18z GFS also had this.

 

This type of setup becomes a nowcasting specialty and where the short-range models become useful.

 

The models though do show significant enough movement/pivoting with the band as currently modeled, which I can tell from past experience it's not always one massive band, but sometimes a couple with a nasty subsidence zone in between.

The Arctic Boundary is a bit slower than expected. It could have some moderate implications to the precip shield and track of the system. 

This was mentioned in the previous thread also. Could it be the SREF is picking up on this slow down more so? Also, the heavy banding is at a sw/ne direction. Where you would think it would have more of an easterly swath instead of n/e.

Relatively useless RPM model is in line with the ARW/NMM banding signal. Runs from PHL or just NW of it through NE NJ and right into NYC and Western Long Island. Snowfall total map is 8-12 for that entire area..a little less in SE NJ and NW NJ (the extremities).

 

Not worth much but figured worth a relay while we wait for the RGEM.

Might be a stupid question but why does it seem like there are so many worthless models? I mean it must cost money to keep running them and someone must get some benefit otherwise why have them?

The SLP could end up further NW if this keeps up. 

then all bets are off - most of North Jersey and NYC and LI would see over 12 " especially if the storm stalls for a couple of hours....might even be some mixing issues on the southeast NJ coast for a while

It was a 25+ mile shift NW with the NW periphery of banding just glancing at the black and white 400,000 x 400,000 pixel maps which are still basically unreadable.

Ha! I've always wondered why those maps still look like that with the technology available! NAM and RGEM ticked NW to follow the GFS. NYC is in the crosshairs on this one!
