That discussion was out at 7:03pm. The warnings came out at 8:48pm. They will probably update their discussion before midnight.

Changed more fun

The probability of major coastal
flooding for the south shore bays on Saturday has increased.

Idk I can’t imagine the rap or hrrr are that wrong this close. 80 and north special


.

 

They were brutal at this range in the March event last year.  Its generally only reliable 4-6 hours out in highly marginal cases like this

My final call: We’ll see what happens south and east of 287. I’ll be happy if I end up with over an inch. I can see how it happens but I’m pessimistic. Seems like these sneaky warm layers below 850 show up on the modeling and keep it rain or slop. Plus a lot of the heavy stuff in the CCB will be in the daytime.

People giving up way too quickly

Nam and HRDPS show a few inches for the area . Do you really think that the models are going to be accurate with temps with the CCB rolling through ?

We will all change to snow tomorrow especially from NYC west.

Enjoy the snow and storm

think its too early to call this fight,,,,,,don't throw the towel in yet storm has a long way to go yet

People do this with every storm. People throw in the towel with the last storm because the models were warm. The models were wrong.

This is a complex storm

I'm not sold in either direction but I'm leaning towards someone near the coast getting into a good band that drops a few inches but not much on either side (likely rain) and then same story with a band over cnj.  Really a crapshoot. NWNJ and the HV are a different story.

Agreed. Where we are is essentially a dartboard. It’ll be about where banding can setup and the column can cool. Amazing it can’t be more widespread on 40 mph north winds. I remember Xmas 2002 predictions being pretty much what they are now, so who knows.

Didn't most areas wind up with 7-14 on the island from that event?

If the HRRR and RAP have a reasonable handle on the soundings, the warmth at 925 mb to 950 mb will take a long time to erode despite the storm's dynamics over New York City. This is likely the case on account of New York City's being in the subsidence between two bands of heavy wet snow. As the precise placement of such bands is difficult to forecast from this far out, there remains some risk that the City could experience a bout of heavy wet snow that results in several inches of accumulation. The NAM actually cools those levels faster than those just above them. As a result, the NAM favors a heavier snow event in the City, but both the 3 km NAM and high resolution RGEM favor the City's being between the heaviest bands of snow. 

Taking into consideration the RAP, HRRR, and high resolution RGEM, I think a slushy inch or less will probably be reasonable in NYC itself. Immediately outside the City, 1"-3" with locally higher amounts appears to be reasonable.

Of course, if the GFS is accurate, those amounts would all need to be slashed. IMO, the GFS's lower vertical resolution makes its solution less likely than the City's receiving a slushy inch or less of accumulation with 1"-3" just outside the City.
