Most models coming around to 1-2" of snow on tej front end , the ice/rain, questions remain on how warm it gets and how much plain rain areas receive

Shouldn't this thread be for 3/3 to 3/4? The 3/4 to 3/5 event is a potential snowstorm.

So let me get this straight ..tue..snow to rain ..then wed day time ..rain ..then night mix ..then maybe snow Thur ?? Is that summary correct ..??

Yes...but I think we should separate the 2 events as otherwise it will be confusion.

Guys, FWIW my point and click forecast for Melville LI has me getting 3-7 inches of snow between onset Tues afternoon and the changeover by midnight Weds AM. Not sure I believe that. Have we been trending in that direction? I thought this was mainly a rainstorm a few days ago and folks were throwing around the possibility of hitting 60. Is a complete torch off the table now?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I'm seeing that too south of you. For one thing, an 80% 'chance' of snow is usually characterized as 'likely.' Let's see if that is still there in the am.

The big question is how warm does it get with this storm in the warm sector. Nam looks really warm, with 850s at +10 or so for a time, but maybe the surface can hang on to 30s to around 40?

Upton is still thinking mid-40's up here in Rockland on Wednesday

THE FIRST PIECE OF PHASED ENERGY WILL HAVE STRONG LOW PRESSURE

TRACKING FROM CENTRAL ONTARIO INTO CENTRAL QUEBEC TUE/TUES

NIGHT...WITH ITS WARM FRONT...AND AN ABSORBED CENTRAL PLAINS LOW...

APPROACHING THE REGION DURING THIS TIME. STRONG WAA AS DESCRIBED

ABOVE WILL ALLOW FOR PCPN TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA LATE TUE AFTN AS

SNOW...BUT WITH MENTIONED SUBTROPICAL PAC

CONNECTION...EXPECTING TEMPS ALOFT TO WARM FAIRLY RAPIDLY TUE

EVE/NIGHT WITH SNOW CHANGING TO MIXED PCPN THEN RAIN FROM S TO N. A

QUICK 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW CITY/COAST AND 2 TO 4 INTERIOR ARE

POSSIBLE BEFORE CHANGEOVER.

DUE TO THE PRIMARY LOW TRACKING WELL TO THE NW OF THE REGION...DEEP

SNOW PACK AND COLD WATER TEMPS...THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY

HAVE TROUBLE LIFTING NORTH TUE NIGHT INTO WED. A BRIEF PERIOD OF

FREEZING RAIN WITH A TRACE TO FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF ICE

POSSIBLE ALONG THE CITY/COAST TUE EVENING BEFORE CHANGEOVER TO

RAIN...BUT INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE TRI-STATE MAY STRUGGLE TO GET

ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK. 1 TO 2 TENTHS OF AN INCH OF ICE

POSSIBLE HERE. WITH SOME OF THE 1/2 TO 1 INCH OF PRECIP FALLING IN

FROZEN FORM AND TEMPS NOT EXPECTED TO GET MUCH ABOVE THE MID TO

UPPER 30S THROUGH WED MORNING...NOT EXPECTING A GREAT AMOUNT OF

SNOWMELT...SO JUST EXPECTING SOME NUISANCE FLOODING ISSUES ACROSS

NYC/NJ METRO AND COAST.

4-5hrs of snow on Tuesday afternoon and then over to sleet and or freezing rain all areas by 00z and then over to plain rain in the city by 03z and NW areas by 06z.

Yup, the big thing with this storm is between maybe the 1-2" of new snow we get, then mix, the (relative mildness/rain) what effect will it have on snowpack. Probably a slight loss, but nothing major.

It's hard to tell how much of whatever falls over the next 4-5 days will be plain rain. One thing for sure, Tuesday night looks to be snow to a mix for all sections and Thursday looks like mostly frozen.

And be careful at hour 39 at KNYC 850s -2 BL 33 . When was the last time you saw the BL warm 4 degrees in 3 hours being -2 at 850 over snow cover .

 

That rain map is wrong . PROB still sleeting at KNYC and snowing W of EWR
