Possible Dec 1-3 Winter Storm


Zelocita Weather

Recommended Posts

Yep local forecast is saying 80% chance of "lite snow" but we know better it could get real ugly / beautiful out there depending on what side of the fence you are on. In other news although the details still need to be ironed out it seems the timing was at one time Sunday night but it appears to me it is much earlier ( I think closer to noon but could be wrong ) now anyone have a guesstimate as to the timing ?

UKMET is huge for the interior. 1-2' for the Poconos, Catskills, Berks, with heavy snow in much of the Hudson Valley and higher elevations of N NJ, as well. Coast looks too marginal.

This is going to be a big snowstorm for inland areas. I think the coasts sees some snow but nothing big like what Inland areas will see unless this storm keeps trending colder or bombs out. Today's  guidance is really interesting in that  regards.

The UKMET and CMC basically look like March 2001 gradient as someone pointed out in the SNE thread or even 4/1/97 minus the bigger amounts in EPA and WNJ 

The part that makes this storm tricky is the complexity of all the pieces. I think the extent of the WAA from the primary will be a tricky forecast. The forecast is tricker for the city than it appears because while i expect lots of rain there is both potential for the front end to hit like a wall or the back end CCB to hit like a wall, so the city could get anywhere from no accumulation to several inches depending on those two aspects of the storm which will both be hard to predict until real time.

We were discussing the record breaking nature of this closed low now over California. So with such an extreme event, there are bound to be some surprises with the snow details. Closed lows are the best bet to get snows down to the coast this time of year. But those details will probably have to wait for later runs.

Those are exactly my thoughts. Based on what I see today, the best bets for wintry precip in the city may be at onset and then late Monday as the upper low and deformation axis pivot nearby.

How was the early Nov 2012 event. 

I remember most models had us raining the entire time, it was one of the more recent surprise snow events.

There may be something up with the UKMET snowfall output. QPF does not support the snow maps, and in fact, it seems to indicate heavier snow potential in the city.
