Jan 23/24 Major Coastal Storm Discussion


Zelocita Weather

Recommended Posts

Verbatim, a lot of what falls in the SE part of NJ and maybe even the eastern tip of Long Island is a mix or rain. Temps there torch into the low 40s on the GFS. Of course, it's irrelevant at this point, but you'll want the low to slide out to sea faster, or else warm air could wrap around the low and make it dicey for coastal areas.

Very few people in this sub forum would receive much rain in this scenario.

Can we please keep all of the "oh no it's too warm for the coast" posts in banter. It's impossible to have any grasp on those finer details at this range. Just be happy it shows an outrageously good setup, it may be years before we see anything like this again.

If this storm had the dynamics the GFS and company are showing, closes off, and stalls like that, not a chance in sweet He** anyone in this sub is changing to rain... 850s are COLD

I don't know what's more obscene the 40 in SW PA or the 25 at the park w 60 mph wind gusts or the 80 mph winds on the east end of Long Island .

The CMC is a little faster than the GFS . The numbers that these models are spitting out are giving me flashbacks.

Totally different set up , but what is being modeled is crippling .

A cut off, occluding low in a bad spot (right on the coast) will wrap warm air around it, perhaps enough to cause a mix on the coast if it sits around long enough. The wind direction isn't ideal either on the GFS, it's ENE for a good chunk of it. 

 

Of course, there are many, many more runs to go and the details will change.
