Probably has something to do with the fact that that region goes from 1-9 inches in 3 hours (81-84) on the NAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few others miss by over amped or west. Slightly more miss east then west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the NAM... on TT it gives a scale for snow on the bottom right hand corner... what is that scale measuring... and has anyone seen pink depicted for snow before? It says mm/hr but 14 mm is about .55 inches of snow... doesnt seem right I believe that's mm/hr of QPF in the form of snow. Makes sense that a half inch of QPF per hour would be the top of the scale.

high risk Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 For anyone sweating the 18z NAM, and they should know better, the 18z parallel NAM, which will become the operational NAM later next week, has a coastal low just like all of the other guidance.

osfan24 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Great video from Bernie. He seems a little bearish south of NYC, but he isn't even all that bullish north of there and is generally pretty conservative with amounts so who knows. Love his breakdowns though. http://www.accuweather.com/en/videos/expert-forecasts/snowstorm-early-next-week-for-the-northeast/f4bzi5yte6o0cnlleinxd2ssq527igk4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 12 km parent parallel NAM, and the 3 km nest is driven by the parent. TT only shows the parallel nest, but you can see the NAM parent on mageval.ncep.noaa.gov (it's the NAM on that page).

Bob Chill Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I like Tasselyer but I disagree that this is a classic miller B. It's a weird hybrid. The low off the se coast already exists and is independent of the NS low well in advance. It's more a marrying of 2 separate systems vs the NS low "giving birth" to the coastal.

Bob Chill Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Really like seeing the GFS come in further south with the NS low. Should be as good or better than 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about that, because someone posted a discussion this morning from WPC that said it was a combination of Miller A and B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy1987 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So do we want the NS to be sharper, more pronounced as it traverses or do we want it to be less sharp and have it fade as the southern stream takes over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe hair Every little bit counts. 1032 isobar to our north is further south. Both point towards at least a little less worry with temps. Just speculating though. We'll know in a few minutes.

ErinInTheSky Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Still new to this part, getting an early read on the models and anticipating, but with the south low being closer to the coast than last run, might this create a more inland rain-snow line?
