Winter Storm Watch now issued for Middlesex County from tomorrow afternoon thru Monday morning but for only 2-4" of snow?? per the watch announcement.

There's some wobbling with themodels from what I'm reading, so mixing may be an issue ( isn't it always? )

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.

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.

The NAM has been surprisingly dry on this event for several runs

Yes surprisingly being the key word, especially with the 3k being even drier. We're in range where I give the NAM as much or more weight than the globals. I'm honestly not sure what to think.

Sub Zero as in temperatures?

Yep it is surprising what the Nam is doing. 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.

Rgem is still great for NYC

 

Shows by far the most impressive storm, both duration and intensity wise.

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.

Are you looking at The Weather Channel App? If so that should be the very last line of weather forecasting you should look at. Pretty much all of those apps are computer automated.

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

Is it worth much? Never seen anyone say it was better than the others. Also, if there is no consensus, then a bust for some areas remains on the table, no?

For this range I look to the the NAM then the RGEM. By tomorrow morning I'll start turning to the HRRR a bit more.

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.

Rgem is 6+ for the coast 

That would sound great 2 years ago. 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

The RGEM used to be deadly. 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! :drunk:
