March 2- 4 Snowstorm Potential

Unless you're on the immediate Jersey coast, Eastern LI or southeast of 95 in SNJ you won't have much plain rain to deal with per the current 12z GFS run. North of that area will be periods of moderate snow, poor ratio snow, sleet, freezing rain and maybe even a little of plain rain depending on your exact location. It's truly the kitchen sink.

From what the 12z GFS says verbatim, we just need it to trend a couple ticks colder then we'll be in good shape as far as snow with minimum impacts of ice. That being said, with the way these models have been this winter, its a good bet  King Euro will give us an entire different  good or bad  scenario. :axe:

We need the waves of LP to stay weak with sheared pieces of energy ejecting from the SW to pull this off.

All you really need is for the PV in Western Canada to stay put with either late phasing or no phasing. The moisture riding up the gradient will produce prolonged periods of over running precip/snows. The danger exists if this completely phases out west, but that would still be quite the marvel to see and we'd still get good front end snows.

 

If the CAD ends up stronger and the low ends up stronger it could end rather ugly.

I'll give you the high res breakdown of the 12z GGEM...

 

Light snow moving in Sunday around noon.

 

Periods of light snow pretty much all afternoon Sunday and overnight into Monday morning.

 

Moderate snow moving in around Monday at noon.

 

Heavy snow Monday afternoon and evening.

 

Heaviest snows 6PM Monday night through about 6AM Tuesday morning.

 

Light snow persisting through Tuesday afternoon.

 

12"+ from Cape May County northward to southern portions of the LHV.

 

24"+ for northern West Virginia.

 

<6" for Boston area. <3" for NNE. Zippo for most of Maine. Most of Upstate NY is under warning criteria outside of the Upton Zones.
