the euro shows elevated CAPE under the upper low all day sunday. we could see bands of weak tstorms rolling in from the SE

That may be what the models are generating all that bizarre QPF behind the 500 low with, someone mentioned yesterday they though everything 18z Sunday to 12z Monday was possibly convective signals from the models

12Z NAM showed some frontogenesis, behind the 500mb low too:

The 18z NAM deluges the area from 03z Sunday through 15z Sunday. ~1.50" of rain in 12 hours. NNJ is in the bullseye.

 

Then it has a band of activity persisting, mainly over Western sections well into Monday with 850's well below freezing. Surface looks warm. White rain most likely and or some sleet.

amazing how we missed some BIG time snowstorms by just a sliver of space and time over the past couple of weeks.  We have been close to getting something HUGE.  All I am left with is wonderment as to whether or not the stars will align before cold air is history.

Looks like we're going to wait until December.

 

We haven't gotten a straight heavy rainstorm in a while, though.

I suspect that the NAM's idea is actually quite reasonable in terms of qpf. The system which is developing near the intersection of the Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas borders (somewhat north of where the 4 km NAM initialized it), will have abundant Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic moisture available to it. A number of the models have indicated the possibility of its cutting off, as well. With the possibility of ridges hooking up between eastern Canada and the Atlantic, the cut off scenario is a plausible one. Hence, at least IMO, an expansive area of 2"-4" precipitation with a few higher figures (probably across a portion of Long Island into Connecticut as the NAM suggests) seems likely.

Euro is about 2.25 or so through Sun evening NYC, seems similar N and W, some parts of LI get 2.60-2.70 it appears...this run was drier thereafter with around .10-.15 total 00Z Mon til 12Z AM...it also suggests the NAM's snow idea is out to lunch as does most other guidance.

SnowGoose 69, I looked at all guidance and extrapolating out it looks like the most miserable April ever will be on our hands.  Like one with 80 percent of the days with rain and 38-42 and only 20 percent nice.  The next 20-25 days looks horrible for the very most part.  I think we will have to wait until 4/22 to get out of this cold wet hell.  Have a feeling we jump into a very warm pattern by 4/25 - 5/10 and then go back and forth, until we get into a very warm to hot pattern that starts to establish 5/20 and possibly locks in for quite awhile.  Wondering if we get into a summer that locks in hot, just as his winter locked in cold.  If we could get a reversal of this winter to warm, look for a 35-40 90 plus summer.  Wonder if we have a chance to go inferno especially this 6/2014 with good severe, like we did in 6/1994, a similar winter pattern with +NAO and -EPO.  Mets and others what do you think ??

Holy Smokes I hope the public is prepared for this storm. I am concerned with the amount of rain that is forecasted. Going to check my rain gutters this morning.

People make sure all drains on your streets are clear of trash and leaves. Also check on the elderly.

Forecast is looking like 3 to 4 inches of rain.

Best

Looks like 3-4 inches for LI and NYC, with possible 5 inch amounts. Leaves should be the size of a quarter by Flag Day at least. Fully grown by the 4th of July. Just had to say it ... sorry.

I would bet good money full leave out would be WAY before july 4th. Whatever your smoking you should get weaker stuff :lol:
