There's some wobbling with themodels from what I'm reading, so mixing may be an issue ( isn't it always? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this is Mt Holly so they are forecasting for different area than NYC, even though we are right next to it on our eastern end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowheavyattimes Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 TWC covering their assets. They say less than one inch of snow expected in the next 48 hours. But then the next line says that forecast can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasiluvsnow Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I was going to literally post that i looked a short while ago and the NWS had Brooklyn for an inch of snow and then I just saw the update that NYCwinter posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetbulbs88 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 18z NAM wants nothing to do with the GFS track, but seems drier than the Euro -- blend between the two ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 3" to 8" covers all the models for NYC. The GFS[Cobb Method is No Snow at all] is at the bottom and CMC at the top along with the EURO. The EURO still goes sub-zero here on the 7th. {three of the last five 12hr.Runs has shown this} which is ridiculous and could mean the EURO needs to detox itself before making any more snow forecasts which have bombed {not bombed out--- unfortunately} all winter. Remember not all the precipitation in this system is going to be snow. So who knows what will actually be left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd. If I'm not mistaken the EURO normally has a dry bias while the NAM shows the juicier solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the global models can do some wonky stuff from time to time with qpf close to an event. Personally my favorite model with an impending snowstorm is the RGEM.

ZNSTATED Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Even though the models are depicting a wide range of solutions at least we appear to be in the game and it gives us something to discuss. Gonna be fun to see how this actually ends up, especially with the paltry snow totals we've seen this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 What would make it drier....is there a dry air issue with this one?It's because as it shifts SE, it does so due to the fact that it is disorganized. The more disorganized it is, the lower the QPF. The RGEM tends to be deadly in this range, so I would be cautious as to using the NAM verbatim right now. Likewise, last night's storm would show that there is the potential for more precip. Also, the SPC is expecting strong storms in the south tomorrow night, thus latent heat comes into play. All of that being said, I would expect the POTENTIAL for this to be a rather significant (6+) snow event for the tri state.

That model has never been the same since it used to nail everything in the mid and short range. I don't trust it or any other model until 12z tomorrow morning. After yesterday's forecast debacle under 12 hours out (at least in SNE), none of these models are worth investing in. Yes, I know, different set-up but it's a volatile pattern Wild swings inside 24 hrs are not supposed to happen dammit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's right, I just don't trust it I don't remember what the NAM was showing for the NYC area 24 hrs out but it was the only model remotely close to being right in SNE. It was the only one leading the charge showing it chasing the convection and jumping East. Then again, every storm is different. Here's to the NYC-BOS corridor maximizing Sunday nights potential!
