jm1220 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's raining hard enough to wet build here and we are creeping down. That's why I'm talking about a CCB needed. I think you might not want to be in LB for this. I see a high bust potential now not based on qpf like last year but just wasted precip. I think we flip to snow unlike 08 in the heavy heavy stuff before daybreak but there is a 50% chance we get a few slushy car too grass inches. I think the upside bust potential is much Lower. 10% or less for 8" plus in LB I think 4" is a good LB number and 3" park Ehh, it will happen how it happens. These marginal events are always a surprise one way or another. I'd like to be around Smithtown or another Suffolk location near the sound with some elevation.

Stormlover74 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 BL looks warmer on the Gfs. Never gets below 35 in nyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The HRRR has been remarkably consistent showing a sudden flip to snow 08-09z If we can bomb 2" rates that will do the trick. We saw that even in November 97 here on the island. Let's see if we can get thos dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Welcome back! Thank you WeatherFox. The 0z runs of the NAM & the RGEM were both slight steps backwards when measured against their 18z counterparts...not huge steps back; but definitely noticeable.

At least for me and snow removal. Getting a solid 8 hours OT looks shaky at best. I would love to be at 2-300' feet for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 BL looks warmer on the Gfs. Never gets below 35 in nycGFS cannot handle localized colder temperatures due to dynamic and evaporational cooling. Anyone under a heavy band should go isothermal at 32/32, but a global model cannot resolve this intricacy with its poor resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be at 2-300' feet for this I think this would be a situation where Manhattan pavement maybe has some slush, but the parks away from pavement has nice accumulation, if the heavy snow makes it that far. But another coin flip is that this will start overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlirish Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's nowcast time. I think NWS forecast looks pretty solid. Someone is going to jackpot east of NYC under some banding.

Don't rule out thundersnow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 00z surface map. Temps forecasted to get down to the upper 30's per the 18z GFS MOS but with heavier falling snow temps should fall closer to freezing for accumulating snow. I'm sticking with 1-2 inches for NYC with more in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. All that pavement= no Bueno. It's raining pretty hard here on the south shore currently. Time will tell. But I would rather be up and out by you for a plaste bomb. Which some will see. I think someone in our area sees a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sticking with 1-2 inches for NYC with more in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Depends where in NYC. I think middle of Central Park will be more than the FDR on the East River. Northern Queens and the Bronx will do better than midtown. Overall, I think 2" is low. I like 4" at KNYC. I think LI is 4-6" and spots to 8". I think EWR is 3" and less to the West. When it's snowing good at 5am, I expect everyone to be between 31-34 degrees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 JFK will probably do okay, the temps now are more within reach for a changeover to be legit at 09z. The measurement at the airport may come in low but the guy across the bay in Cederhurst will measure 5 or 6 in his backyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherFox Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 BL looks warmer on the Gfs. Never gets below 35 in nyc This jives with the latest MOS forecasts and current conditions. I expect a change over but because of the wet pavement, warm ground and car traffic accumulation on the streets in NYC will be minimal. On grass and car tops the 1-2 inches could accumulate in my opinion. Time well tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is a perfect example of one of those situations. It's going to rip snow everwhere in the met thanks to that insane subtropical moisture feed. Allot of it depends on are you grass or pavement surrounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
