It's not the kicker. This rests on does this neg tilt at Hatteras. If it does its over the delmarva and we r cooked Forget the models for a second. If there's no high to hold it it will just come north. If tomrrw at 12z the data shows its a Pos tilted trough then it will bomb out east of Norfolk and b 50 miles east of AC then it's game on. But too many members r west. The control is up over nyc

I know the others models don't show this. But The euro skill score In the southern branch is the best. Just wait to see the euro at 0z and see if it's a tick east. U really don't Wana b neg inside obx

I agree

Paul kocin s track would really be a great track for those just west of I 95 and really good for everyone else . He's just inside obx then 996 just east and i mean just east of deleware bay and then I'm sure it's to the BM.

Really looks like the jan 2011 track and would love to overlay the track of 93. In track only from out of the panhandle through 40 N and see how similar they look.

GFS is east and ensembles are even more east. Euro is west and its ensembles are even more west. Total Opposites with 72 hours of the storm! Just Crazy!

One of them will take the KING status. This would be a HUGE victory for the GFS if it's right. It's against basically almost all models.

Based on what I'm seeing here, it sounds to me like this storm just ain't for the I 95 corridor. If only one model is east as you  say, then won't it most likely be wrong?

The ukmet/ggem/nam are all big hits as is the euro... Just some of the euro ensemble members are a bit more inland

Got it thanks. I'm going to sit back and observe the model thread.

I just looked at the 500mb for 1/26/11 on E-wall and it looks very similar to the evolution of the southern stream and MSLP position, good analog for this storm?

 

It's the #1 overall analog listed now. To me it appears a good match. What will be key is the interaction with the northern stream and eastward progression of the kicker. If that's slow and allows the storm to amplify like crazy, it will flood the coastal plain with warm air. If it's fairly quick and pushes the trough east, we may see an appearance much like that storm. I had 16" from that storm and possibly the most intense 4-5 hours of snow I've ever seen. I think there's room for the far west Euro and ensembles to be right if the kicker isn't much of a factor. Luckily, even those models give us a solid 6 hour period of heavy snow before mixing or a dryslot near the coast.

The NAM/Ukie/GGEM/GFS are all east of the Euro. GFS is the furthest east. Once again, I think a middle ground would be reasonable.

Yea, but the GFS is in the process of moving west. Maybe this doesn't follow the Euro exactly, but seems to me that the track will be closer to the euro then GFS.

NAM/UKie/GGEM is what im favoring.

That was a sleet storm in central NJ. I remember it well.

I started the second part of that storm with thunder sleet, but quickly went to heavy snow. If we even have a half decent low track for the city and coast, dynamic cooling should hold back the warm air. We need it to be over the Outer Banks, then east of Ocean City, then a NE jog from there. That's where the kicker will be key and not let it tuck into the coast, hopefully.

That would be a nice solution for li. I'm not willing to make a final call until tomorrow at this time though. It could be anything from 3"-18". Though 6"-10" I think would be a could first call. I really hope more then normal we jackpot. The glaciers would cause some interesting stuff as the are basically stuck in place until they move

SST could influence track of the low and where it deepens. Gradient looks weaker than before with warmer water further north and west. Unfortunately I'm am inclined to think based on this that the low will track more northwest causing most people on LI and coastal areas to miss out on most of the snow. However, it does also mean the low has more moisture to throw to the interior areas for some ridiculous snow totals.

I think he meant 3/3/94..was snow to sleet and massive interior snowstorm

Even the warmest solutions give the entire area at least significant 6"+ accumulation before mixing.

Warmer then before in regards to when? I don't think near shore waters do anything but help coastal areas when compared to previous years. The Gulf Stream is always there and does not have much variability in water temps. I wouldn't focus on water temps in this situation

What a terrific trend on the overnight forecast models. We are seeing what seems to be a convergence upon a solution which would bring a nearly ideal track with maximum winter weather impacts to the area. The NAM, GFS and Euro all have an initial surge of heavy precipitation as the coastal low surges northward up the coast -- and then a secondary CCB which develops and wraps around as the storm matures. 

 

The mid level warming is going to be something we pin down over the next few model cycles.  Big 12z suite coming up. But man, you couldn't have asked for a better look overnight.
