husky0101 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 From Upton: Interesting Norlun Trough event as closed upper low dives out of the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic Coast on Saturday - some 21Z SREF Members in excess of 6" (8 or 26 for eastern Long Island and 5 of 26 in the City). 00Z NAM is rather impressive - perhaps this is Long Island`s turn? Winds in SREF have potential for 40 KT with heavy snow...hummm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblizz44 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 By the way folks remember the Euro ensembles and the 99.9% chance of a foot for the Tuesday "blizzard" ? Guess what I found in my FB memories today? Same forecast for same time period last year!!

I send out winter weather notes to coworkers, friends and family (and FB) and I made that exact comment, reading between the lines... "Confidence in this forecast is pretty low, as these kinds of inverted troughs, associated with redeveloping clippers off the coast, are notoriously difficult to pinpoint. There will likely be 2-4" of snow from the system somewhere, but exactly where is the question and that's mostly likely north of 78 and east of the Parkway, which is likely why the NWS-NYC is predicting a bit more snow, as per the maps below."

I suspect that the best chance for an appreciable or greater snowfall will probably exist in an area running from eastern Suffolk County into eastern New England. Climatology favors that region for Norlun troughs and at least some of the guidance has begun to focus on that area. A light accumulation remains possible in and around NYC and its nearby suburbs.

Expand Don, the other thing is, with these very marginal temps and thickness, 10:1 ratios are too high, it's late March now. Ratios will be 5:1 or 6:1. The UVVs also won't be that strong with this thing, wherever the trough does set up.

If it keeps trending east I think there's little that happens west of Islip-the Euro still going with little and the RGEM cutting back are red flags to me. But the pieces can still fall the right way and make this a nice event, it just has to be less progressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This is what I was speaking about yesterday in terms of the snow threat gradually shifting East as we moved closer. We could still get some snow as the trough dives down but once the transfer occurs it will put just about everyone out of play except for Suffolk.
