mikem81 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I wouldnt use this NAM run for precip types. Just for general track trends. With a 988 LP sitting right off the delmarva, In would think the 850s would be below 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 mid-level fronto banding is gorgeous in the afternoon as the 700 and 500 lows close off in the perfect spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmillz25 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 People really need to stop worrying about p types when just 24 hours ago we wasn’t sure if we was getting anything. Those 850s will be colder than modeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelocita Weather Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looking like maybe 2-4" from first wave and 3-6" from second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why Pivotal has so little "snow" shown south of 195/276, which I think is a problem - would rather see sleet and snow, like TT has, as sleet has all the same impacts as snow (mass is all that matters for travel/snow removal), except obviously visibility.

NJwx85 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looking at the sim radar, snow probably never shuts off in places like interior NJ from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday morning, although it could taper to very light flurries or showers for a time.

The Nam has been very erratic with this storm, I'll trust the more consistent models over the Nam. However at least it shows a hit for now.

SnowGoose69 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 3K NAM really gets nothing in here with wave 1. I’ll wait to see if the RGEM or other guidance follows the 32K NAM on that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Someone will get insane totals tomorrow with that wave in NJ. I could see close to a foot happening somewhere. It’ll probably be further north than expected as well. It could very well be darn close to NYC but just north of that zone will barely see a flake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some similarities to 12/5-6/03. The 2nd wave really underperformed in that setup. The models are obviously better today but we have to watch to see if wave 2 trends somewhat sloppy over time as it’s just tough to see two disntinct disturbances both drop big snows even if they aren’t in the same locations but same general region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelocita Weather Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 This reminds me exactly of a March storm maybe 3-5 years ago that got split into two different storms/waves. DC was supposed to get a ton, BOS maybe some, and NYC stuck in the middle. DC ended getting none (temp issues), BOS got pummeled with 1-2 Feet, NYC area got 3-6" ish.

This is why we’re big weather enthusiasts! Times like these! Nice PBP from you guys thank you. Back to lurking! 10:1 NAM maps are likely going to be very misleading. As modeled and mentioned, there is a warm layer that will result in significant sleet for first half of storm at least. Then factor in late March sun angle (might as well be September, remember) and accumulations can be further cut. Factor in the NAM...frequently overdoing QPF...and you can take the Kuchera number, cut that by 30-50 pct, and you are probably in the ballpark of what would actually verify as accumulating snow if the NAM forecast played out.
