Confidence increases for coastal storm threat along Eastern Seaboard

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Upper low continues to march toward the east coast, with
coastal low development noted just east of the Delmarva.

With an expected track of the sfc low near the 40N/70W
benchmark along with strong deep lift and banded precip, the
stage is set or a major winter storm for the area. Colder and
drier air is in place when compared to previous events. Nam, and
lesser extent GFS along with various ensemble members indicate
slight warming aloft for a possible wintry mix over SE LI, and
perhaps SE CT through the morning. The storm has slowed a bit,
and heavier precip will allow for ample cooling to result in a
changeover by afternoon over these eastern locales. Colder air
will be pulled down from the north as the storm deepens.

Elsewhere, NYC metro including NE NJ, the lower Hudson Valley
and into SW CT, would typically be in the bulls eye of heavier
snow conceptually. Always hard to pinpoint any potential bands,
but generally expect 12 to 18 inches across these locations if
everything pans out as expected (track, thermal profiles, etc).

Temps in the 30s remain steady or fall as the heavier snow
commences. Snow ratios look to be at least 10 to 1, and even 13
to 1 or 15 to 1 is possible interior.

The western extent of the precip shield should keep amounts well
NW down slightly, but a foot or more is possible even up across
those locations.

Winds will be quite gusty, with 40+ mph at times possible.
Blizzard conditions are possible at times, just not quite enough
confidence for that upgrade to the hazard.

How long ago did they post that.

Alos heavier banding is almost always NW of where modeled

I need some nape time.

golf season is so close. Plus I’m building a driving range and putting green in the backyard. 

Still, this should be a good event down here. Deff not nam/herpes like but even when we weenie out over them we know that is the extreme solution. No one should take it verbatim. Still like my 10-14 call for swct.

It's gonna be fun pulling out that 06z NAM forecast when we get 3" of snow. I bet the euro wins this handily...it's almost never wrong when it is insistent like this. 

You can see the shorter term guidance all trending toward it.

Yeah this one is getting away from us. I actually feel good about my forecast from last night 3-6 north of HFD and 6-12 south.

That was actually my first thought after seeing the models this morning, Ryan's map might actually work out. Felt conservative yesterday though.

Probably. But I bet the EURO comes north A TAD with the other guidance moving south by a larger margin.

I still cannot believe this will be my THIRD 6 to 12 inch storm this month!
