March 1-2 Potential Coastal Storm Thread


REDMK6GLI

Recommended Posts

First weekend of march looks to be under the threat of a possible coastal storm for the East Coast. Current US and Global guidance has this storm in varying locations and strength/orientation. Teleconnectors look pretty good going into this period, however underlying changes in the flow could help or hurt this threat as this week goes on such as the pacific wave progged to come on shore, PV strength/orientation etc. Constructive analysis contributed to this thread will be greatly appreciated and PLEASE TAKE PERSONAL ATTACKS/**** measuring to the banter thread

as of right now have to go with HPC that this will also be a light event at best - of course between now and 3/2 there is potential for more or less - as I mentioned in the 2/26 thread that PV coming so far south is NOT good for snow chances here - needs to stay a little further north

The GFS did show the PV actually splitting and trying to phase into the storm. Promising as that looked we have to wait a few more days most likely till wednesday to see where this will head. This thread was worth starting as the POTENTIAL is there for atleast a noteable storm if some things change

Ggem seemed to be coming on board as well last night. Had a huge 1048 hp diving south with hints of a phase on that model as well. We can make out even without a phase though if the pv retrogrades and the confluence ends up in a better spot it could pull the system north.

PV will definetly retrograde and you are right that is when the storm chances increase - PV being so close to us mid and latter week favors storms off the coast a littletoo far east to get a significant event although we could get glancing 1-3 inch events

Fwiw 12z gfs increases precip yet again for this system. Pulls the pv out amd allows the southern energy to drift northward. Temps are marginal attm but verbatim looks like some paste for nyc and phl on this run. Plenty of time to work things out but the key is this system continues to be progged stronger and farther north affecting most of the EC in one form or another.

I'm at work now with no access to the ukie or ggem...can someone please report?

Next weekend may not be a very big snow threat for the coast as temps look marginal at best.. looks like the pv might retrograde to far north.....And I've seen forecasters saying that they believe the low will then hug the coast. And we all know what that means for NYC east....

agreed...coastal areas would be in trouble verbatim this run. Lets get some consistency on guidance then we can begin to discuss temps.

We'll see about that if it CAN bomb that can overcome a great deal of BL issues down to the coast. WAYYY too far out but it is something to remember

I started this because it did have some legs and who know it may still produce a few inches of snow for the area. This was legit threat thus why the thread was started.

The Euro had a big storm for our area several runs in a row. A thread was needed for this. As of right now, it doesn't look good but things can still change. We need the PV to relax if we want to see a big storm.

I agree with him, this could have easily been covered by a general March discussion thread. At least get it inside 7 days.

Should a new thread be opened every time the day ten GFS shows a hurricane hitting our area? The models have been especially bad this year post day 7 thanks to a very volatile setup.

Well i did start one yesterday and it could've but either way yank we would've still talked about it. Julian colton does have a point but its not like it was not worth it at all to start a thread. Anyway still bears watching and in a winter like this truly anything goes till nowcasting

True but it's your choice if you want to post in it or not. No one is forcing anyone to post in threads where a storm is more than a week out.
