about a 10 mile westward shift in the precip amounts from the high resolution version on Weatherbell.  10 mile eastward shift on the western fringe over far western NJ.  Basically a tightening of the whole thing and a 10 mile westward shift.  Has NYC up to about 6 inches, 6-9 inches within about 20 miles of the coast in NJ and 6-12 inches from west to east across Long Island.

Wow have we been spoiled this winter. People are throwing in the towel already with these accumulations still very possible. I guess maybe b/c they live in the hudson valley? Still, I think the HV will see at least 1 inch. I'll gladly take 2-4 inches and anything more than that would be a surprise. I guess maybe b/c this storm had the potential to be much more and impact us a lot more. And will the storm surge be enough to post coastal flood warnings across coastal NJ and LI?

Also, another weird observation. Accuweather says gusts will exceed 50 MPH for NYC on Wednesday, but says gusts will only reach 30 MPH or so for Montauk. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

That's fine by me. Time is still on our side, as long as there's no future run setbacks, I'll keep banking on these baby steps. All the ensembles today have been west of the OPS. If the EURO ensembles continue with that trend, we head into tonights crucial 00z runs with a lot of momentum. :pimp:

Did you look at the run?? Hr 84 was so far SE. The run look weird to me. But you can go talk about qpf and snow maps all you want.

Edit: it looked to go due north from there and then west of due north the next frame. You need to look at the run before being critical of any post. Just look at hr 84 which is the post in question

 

i looked at the entire run as it was coming in.  It was clear to me that it was going to pull back toward the coast.  You can see that very clearly at 84 hrs.

 

In fact, I will take this one step further.  It would not surprise me one bit if future runs develop the initial low near Cape Hatteras from what I am seeing depicted here still 84 hours out.

if you're not in the heavy banding with these late season storms you wind up getting white rain

I think you're right. There are a couple storms people regularly reference here, like April 96 and 97, which didn't produce a thing in central NJ. My memory is damn good too. So a LI storm doesn't mean squat to me, it may as well be DC.

This isn't your typical late-season storm...Highs on Monday are expected to be 28-31F across the NYC metro. 850s after the storm passes get close to -20C.

Temps on the euro go to 35-37 degrees at 18z Tuesday.

But the euro has almost no precip before 8pm Tuesday with the majority of it from 10pm-6am.

So the run made perfect sense to you? Ok then. It looked like it could bend back looking at h5 but the initial slp placement didn't look right to me. Oh well. To each his own.

Those were stale at 850mb, -5C to 0C, this is much colder

Yes, honestly it did.  I have been following these models for almost 20 years.  I think future runs could in fact develop the low near Cape Hatteras.  This has the potential to continuing trending better, regardless of what Forky keeps saying.

It's annoying having to repeat so many times the storms where snow accumulated late in the year. April 2003 didn't have exceptionally heavy snow rates and it stuck just fine, everywhere including streets where I am, in the afternoon. And the 850 temps won't be nearly as warm as they were then-it was a very marginal snow event. This one will have 850 temps at -10.

 

That's of course if the storm hits and isn't too far out to sea.

The 3/19/92 storm started with temps in the upper 30s and was mostly a nighttime event but we saw 6-7" of heavy wet snow

That seems more like the kind of event typical of March, heavy wet stuff. Gone in a day or two, sometimes the next morning. I have a hard time believing that a big blizzard is going to hit, anyway for our area in NJ we seem to be out of it anyway at this point, with nothing indicating otherwise. My winter stuff is all put away and my snowblowers are in storage. Nature will have to clean up whatever falls.

Really? Seemed to come down pretty fast in April 2003. Fast enough to dismiss the schools early.

I remember clearly two days before Feb 2006 storm most mets were calling 6-12 for NYC when that low exploded just offshore and dropped 29 inches. Is there anything similar with this storm to the 2006 storm that could make that happen again?
