SnoSki14 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Has that double barrel low but a lot more emphasis is placed on the western low. If models focus on that low, then we would all probably get a good hit. Western low near 540 line would make more sense. I'm not even sure we will see a double low as we get closer.

jm1220 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The far offshore low may be too enhanced due to convection but it's probably real to an extent. The better 500mb trends will hopefully bring this toward the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've seen a few folks compare this to the infamous late-March '14 near-miss, and that system had a prominent double low structure in its formative stages.

EasternLI Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I feel like we saw a storm, 2014 maybe?, where we had the same thing with a double barrel low in a fast flow. Many didn't think it would happen in that instance either (myself included), but it did. ETA - @Juliancolton has it covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a fascinating storm to watch from afar so hopefully this week produces something similar, if we have to accept an offshore solution.

purduewx80 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 obviously more complicated than this, but looking at the big picture, the baroclinicity right along the coast associated with anomalous cold inland and anomalous warmth offshore tells me this will continue correcting closer to the coast. could even be to the point that a snow-to-rain-to-snow or otherwise mixy solution is not off the table in the city (and especially LI up to BOS). those warm waters help give some credence to the absurdly low pressures we’re seeing forecast. also, #lanina + #seasonaltrends. can’t say that enough this year.

Expand Great post, I agree with that hopefully it doesn' take a wide right after hitting the Cape hatteras latitude otherwise this can really tuck in and give us even some rain especially towards eastern long island. Notice the two warm blobs. One splits due east north east from north east of Cape hatteras and than you have a cold blob in the middle and than also a warm blob hugging the coast.

You have two very intense systems essentially rotating around each other until absorbs the other.
