friedmators Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just now, Metasequoia said: How so? Everyone is above freezing east of the PA/NJ border on the RAP and on the NAM everyone is below freezing including most of LI. The low is much closer. We need to cool the mid-levels while we have the dynamics for the heavier precip to help cool the BL. Basically we need the CCB on top while everything is below 0 @ 850 and above. NAM vs the world.

The new RGEM is a rainstorm, the HRRRX doesn’t even turn me over to snow through 36 hours, when it’s all over and I’m 35 miles NW of NYC. Upton may actually be too generous showing Rockland at 2 inches. Trace to maybe 1” is more like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I guess my expectation where I am is for maybe a slushy inch (that would also go for the city). That’s taking the average of the model guidance-NAM would have more but the rest are practically nothing. It’ll depend on the radar and how fast the layers cool. If the radar is showery or the best CCB sets up over NJ, I might not accumulate at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live is on the edge of the hills and it can sometimes be night and day between here and the Meadowlands no more than 15-20 miles to my Southeast.

Enigma Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm about to throw the towel in for sea level areas. This looks to be elevation driven. I think the I-95 through much of NJ will see white rain when rates increase and regular rain otherwise. Once up into Morris County, I could see lights accumulations.

friedmators Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I don’t think the RAP understands evaporating cooling either. Below 0 925 and up with ridiculously heavy precip and it still shows rain. Latest run seemed much improved. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a huge dewpoint depression after hours of heavy precip, then yeah, it starts to get suspect, but I was never a fan of those rules of thumb along the lines of "if it's below freezing at 925/850 and raining heavily, you'll flip to snow". There are real-world BL processes that can keep you warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sferic Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If the 0Z suite doesn't at least give hope to Long Island for a few inches then it's off to House # 2 in Liberty NY. Will have the entire upstate event time lapsed so that should prove fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
