purduewx80 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 18Z RGEM also more amped; 994 over the Benchmark at 18Z Saturday. 3mb deeper than the 12Z run, closed 700 low is also deeper. Hard to see for sure on the b&w maps but it looks wetter from NYC up to BOS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're getting closer to saying the HV through SNE will see accumulating snow this weekend from at least one of the events if not both, for the city it's such a hard forecast.

SnowGoose69 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I could be wrong (as I’ve mostly been since november) but I don’t see coastal areas seeing much snow on the Middle system of these 3 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This little system is inching more north each run and I’m not sure it’ll damp out as fast as shown...remember the washout always occurs a nose later than shown so you always have to watch areas right where it’s expected for a slower weakening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like system 3 the best Not sure between 1 and 2 which has more potential, I almost think its 2 but I also live on Bronx/Yonkers border which is slightly different from the rest of the city, I can see the snows tomorrow morning maybe reaching Southern parts of the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. upper levels are too warm for snow as depicted on the models. The storm will have to create its own cold air at the 850 level to snow in the City area. If its a heavy cold rain but sets up the sunday storm more south I will take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 February is now concluding. New York City finished with a monthly mean temperature of 36.2°, which was +0.9° above normal. Snowfall was just 2.6", which was 6.6" below normal for the month. Select seasonal snowfall amounts (through 2/28 5 pm) were: Albany: 45.0", 1.9" below normal Allentown: 20.6", 6.4" below normal Baltimore:15.6", 2.6" below normal Binghamton: 72.2", 8.3" above normal Boston: 13.9", 20.2" below normal Bridgeport: 11.1", 10.5" below normal Buffalo: 107.8", 29.0" above normal (26th snowiest winter) Burlington: 87.2", 26.4" above normal (30th snowiest winter) Caribou: 147.0", 64.5" above normal (8th snowiest winter) Chicago: 41.3", 11.8" above normal Detroit: 28.7", 5.2" below normal Harrisburg: 28.7", 3.7" above normal Hartford: 29.8", 2.9" below normal Islip: 8.7", 11.0" below normal New York City: 10.1", 11.2" below normal Newark: 11.9" 12.1", 10.9" below normal Philadelphia: 13.1", 5.9" below normal Portland: 50.9", 4.5" above normal Providence: 17.6", 10.1" below normal Scranton: 25.9", 8.0" below normal Sterling: 24.9", 6.0" above normal Washington, DC: 16.6", 2.5" above normal Worcester: 35.8", 14.1" below normal The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.20°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.70°C for the week centered around February 20. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.53°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.48°C. Similar ENSO conditions will likely persist through much of March with some possible fluctuations to just below weak El Niño levels. Some guidance suggests the potential for further warming of ENSO Region 3.4 in coming weeks. The SOI was -2.88 today. That is its highest figure since February 9 when the SOI was -2.40. Today's preliminary value of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.707. The preliminary average for meteorological winter was +0.132. In total, 51% days had positive values and 48% days had negative values. The AO will very likely remain predominantly positive through March 1-15. This historic experience has strong support from the latest ensembles. On February 27, the MJO moved into Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.920(RMM). The amplitude was somewhat lower than the February 26-adjusted figure of 2.053. The MJO will continue to advance toward Phase 3. The SOI is now approaching zero. The SOI has a correlation to precipitation in the southern tier of the United States. As a result, a drier pattern could begin to evolve in both the Southwestern United States (including California) and Southeastern United States over the next 2-3 weeks. Based on historic data following similar ENSO conditions to those of February 2019, March 1-15 could provide perhaps the final window of opportunity for a moderate or perhaps significant snowstorm in the New York City area. That the MJO will likely enter March at a high amplitude is consistent with a colder start to the month. Due to shorter wave lengths, the state of the AO has little impact on the probability of such storms. Afterward, sustained warming could limit opportunities for snowfall. The potential for widespread high temperatures in the upper 40s into southern New England and 50s in portions of the Middle Atlantic region near mid-month exists. The odds of such warming would be particularly high should the PDO be negative, as has been the case in both December and January. In terms of snowfall, another system could bring parts of the area, especially south of New York City, some measurable snow very late tonight into tomorrow and again Friday night into Saturday. A bigger system could impact the region Sunday night into Monday. The potential exists for a moderate accumulation of snow in and around New York City and possibly a significant snowfall well inland and in parts of New England, including the Boston area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looking like a nice event from maybe the Hudson Valley through SNE. It could really go to town in Boston through SE MA. It looks marginal/too warm near the coast here unless the coastal low can ramp up faster. The first feature tomorrow night again looks like it dries up as it gets here, much like the system about a week ago. Any which way, it looks like nothing can work out with these. I’m still thinking odds are the Sun night/Monday system is warm/rain near the coast due to it being too close. Maybe the Sat night event can be strong enough to bring the boundary east for the next one, but the latest GFS wasn’t enough to get it done east of the city.

The Nam is really the only model that crashes the 850s south like that. It's possible if the storm is dynamic enough but it seems like things just get going a little late for that to happen for us, and there's a primary-ish system to the west that brings warm air up. Most models hold the 850 zero line near the CT coast and Rockland/Westchester until it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM seems to develop the storm faster than the other models, not saying its right but thats why its showing the solution it's showing. The other models blow the storm up further north and later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
