2/21-2/23 Weekend Possible Storm


Zelocita Weather

Recommended Posts

Heavy rain? It looks fairly light to me.

The storm is so weak now that I think temps will struggle to rise when precip is falling. There's not enough of a warm push because the low is so weak and heavier rates will hold the R/S south.

Call it whatever you want, there is nothing worse than arguing about a rain snow line

And also, the bust isn't always at the surface on the coast-you have to look as well at 925mb. That's what shafted the extreme south shore a little more than a year ago. I saw that the soundings looked iffy at 925mb right before 2/13/14 but shook it off because of the extreme precip rates advertised in that front end wave, but it was enough to switch us over to rain and sleet quick, and heavy rates meant nothing besides some mangled flakes here and there south of Sunrise Highway. 

 

I know that was a stronger system than this one will be, but this one screams red flags near the coast. Hopefully I'm wrong...

That snow hole is likely a downsloping effect from southwest flow over the Catskills. You can see similar snow holes on that map that IL posted to the NE of the West Virginia mountains, the Poconos, and the Berkshires. One of the mets in the NW burbs forum mentioned it earlier, and that it's not usually so pronounced in a southwest flow event. I highly doubt those areas won't see any snow.
