Ericjcrash Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi-res RGEM also cuts back, Suffolk co. Jackpot. Hopefully we can get banding NWof guidance as happens quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 TWC just downgraded snowfall forecasts for the big cities; still has 8-12" for NNJ/NYC, but was 12-18" before. Cantore said the inland low closed off and will rob the ocean low of moisture reducing precip (seen on almost every model last night including the Euro). Bust potential is pretty high for Upton and somewhat high for Mt. Holly (vs. their lowered amounts), especially in spring with snow falling during the day - we really need good rates of 1" per hour to ensure we accumulate well (melting rate is at least 1/2" per hour this time of year); at least surface temps ought to cool to at or below 32F, reducing melting some vs. previous storms. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what my gut tells me. Here's the fundamental problem in spring. if you get 1" per hour rates for 10 hours, you'll likely get 8-9" of snow, since you'll overcome the melting rate quickly and accumulate rather easily with minimal melting, especially if air temps are below 32F. But if you get 1/2" per hour rates for 10 hours, you probably end up a slushy inch on the ground, since the melting rate is so close to the snowfall rate the entire time.

kat5hurricane Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm surprised that Upton is putting out such high totals for such a large area, a floor of 12 seems awfully high, it should be the ceiling. The trend on all the models outside the NAM has been a less dynamic further east jackpot so I can understand why there's some concern about the higher totals. I'm debating about heading into work now, I guess I'll take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkweatherfan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Usually I think the dry air is good cause it's drier snow and it's good that the ground is not even wet so it may evaporatively cool the column rather quick and start accumulating once it gets cranking, combined with wet numbing and eventually dynamic cooling. Every storm this month we had wet ground and warm ground to work with. I think the rates are going to be higher with this and this is why Upton is sticking to their guns I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgame830 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I do agree Upton is a bit high but it’s still going to snow! 6-10 inches is probably more likely at this time which is amazing for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Temperatures should drop to the 29/30 range given current temps and dews, so there shouldn't be any problems with accumulating. Latest HRRR is really aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgame830 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ok so I checked out both the 06z NAM and GFS.... looks to have the area in the .75-1.25” LE which extends as far north as parts of extreme Northern NJ and up to I84 then down through CT and into Long Island. So with that said the area looks good for a 5-12 inch snowfall with definitely isolated up to 15” in random spots. Guys that’s great for March 21st. Main action isn’t until early afternoon into the evening time. Stop the bickering and enjoy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest HRRR is really aggressive. I would not call this "really aggressive". Widespread 6"-9" DC-NYC nice for March, no doubt...or anytime really. Good news is snow is still falling at this time, a few more hours likely, especially east of city. After dark will help with accumulations. I think really aggressive would be misleading, IMO, but YMMV! Good luck, all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempestatis014 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just my luck. I wake up and look at the models and GFS ***** the bed. It's saying 3". That little blip of blue near east- central NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last map I posted was the 06Z...sorry about that...here is the 09Z out to 18 hrs...so this will be through 11 pm...not much additional in that 3 hour period...only another inch or so city and west...good improvement east as noted above...pretty consistent with the 6"-12" maps posted yesterday, IMO.
