jm1220 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don’t see how dry air is a huge problem inland-is it an annoyance sure, but they see less because the dynamics on the models stay east of them. Doesn’t make it a definite that banding can’t reach them but we have to see how the low tracks over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clear as day that this was going to be a huge problem but those warnings were ignored by some. The NAM finally saw the subsidence. Have a good night everyone. I checked the 0z nam. Looks about the same on my block. 2-4 inches. hearing 15-1 or 20-1 snow ratios. NAM smokes coastal NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDRY Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 13 minutes ago, Drz1111 said: 3KM NAM is odd. The precip in the comma head is all smeared out and there’s not much mid level lift and convergence. It’s almost as if there are two quasi separate storms - a Miller A that occludes before it can give us good rates, and then a Miller B that forms ENE of us and hits New England, and we’re left with no dynamics and just moderate snow. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM smokes coastal NJ. Being on the western edge of Raritan Bay across the kill from SI sometimes we get the bombs that hit the coast, like Boxing Day, other times it just barely misses us. I think both are realistic scenarios, though the misses happen more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had a chance of more than 4 inches out west of 287. My forecast from this afternoon looks solid for Morris/Sussex area. 2-4" S.E. Morris - 1-3" NW and 1-2" Sussex. Big winners so to speak will be immediate coastal NJ (6-10") and central and eastern LI (5-7 Nassau - 7-12" Suffolk) 4-6" NYC and immediate NE NJ burbs. NW of I95 amounts will taper quickly and north of 78 and west of 287 1-4" from NW to SE look like reasonable numbers. Dry air initially (especially NW) is going to eat into QPF and ratios on AVERAGE will be at best 12:1 most places. Storm will be bombing out but it will be moving fast and banding not likely to save the day for inland portions of NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This looks like the type of storm where Brooklyn/ Queens might do better than Bronx/ Manhattan due to BK and Queens being further east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveWinter Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 3 minutes ago, Enigma said: HRRR has steadily cut back totals. Cut back for everyone including NE. Only place it didn't was VA tidewater. Seems quite odd that even most portions of NE (including further from coast) and LI would not exceed 10 or so.

jm1220 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 After how the HRRR performed on the 12/9 storm I don’t trust it much. It kept ignoring the heavy band that set up over NJ for hours and tried to focus the snow over me, when I ended up with half of what some of those places got.
