NJwx85 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 3k NAM soundings show that most of the atmosphere below 850mb is below freezing and that at the surface it’s only 33 where it’s showing plain rain. That’s even as late as 08z. I would be very hesitant to base a forecast off precip type graphics and clown maps. Yes with a track that tucked in it’s going to warm up but I think it’s after a signifact front end snow/ice event. Especially N&W of the city.

Because it’s not a non event when most of interior NJ/NY still gets several inches of snow and ice. We’ve had threads for dustings before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low passes just South of the city. it will prob make a couple more shifts south and east,anything over 100+miles and we get frozen precip instead of rain keep that in mind. i actually shared a image of the water vapor loop to show what is going on with the last minute shifts.

snowman19 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Even the new 3k NAM is only 2 inches of snow total all the way up into Rockland, it matches the 12k for snow totals, same thing: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=nam3km®ion=neus&pkg=asnowd&runtime=2019011912&fh=38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasperk99 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So now that it seems decent snows are off the table for most of us here, What time on Sunday are temperatures supposed to start dropping. I think the flash freeze from the rain soaked ground may be the real story of this storm for the immediate metro area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Current temp up to 35 here, I think I can feel pretty confident in saying the chance of frozen here is very minimal. It wouldn't surprise me if the NWS dropped the Winter Weather Advisory for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Clown maps are for clowns. Look at the soundings which paint a much different story. The low level frontogenisis is nothing to sneeze at and will likely cause the snow to over perform at the onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is most guidance now pushes the majority of it north of the area until 03-04Z. By then almost everyone would be too warm for anything but sleet freezing rain or rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the warm layers and how thick? If it's above 0C above 850 and below freezing down to the 33F surface that's probably a sleet sounding.

allgame830 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Comment from ORH in the NE Forum: Dewpoint drain is already happening and will continue most of today. I think people who are taking guidance at face value or close to it are going to be somewhat surprised. BOS already down to 13F with single digits filtering down coastline and CT valley in CNE. I've seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People at the immediate coast might not care about what happens over the interior but it doesn’t make it a non event for this sub forum which covers a much larger area than NYC and it’s immediate surroundings.

nesussxwx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Up to 31F. Already smelling like a bust. Dewpoint is at 24 which is good. Was not suppose to be warm this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Temperatures are above freezing for most areas with dews in the upper teens already. A good indicator that there's no arctic air present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So a couple of things, first as someone mentioned, the cold air drainage is still taking place. You can see how the isobars are moving towards the SW out of New England. That is a sign of CAD. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/archiveviewer.php?sector=16&parm=pmsl Secondly, look how cold wet bulb temps are. If the precip comes in heavy like most guidance shows it will cool the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 with warmth for a few hours tomorrow-left over icing on trees/powerlines/walkways will not be a big deal-sure puddles will freeze but most paved surfaces will dry out-the worst weather comes overnight while most are sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
