wdrag Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Good Monday morning everyone, Have offered to focus the general discussion thread on next weekends storm into one single thread. It's been a terrible winter so far s of I80 and not much to boast about north of I80. I'm adding graphics daily at about this time, until the threat fails to materialize. No guarantees on anything. It does not look good for NYC south, so far. Contributions are from the NWS public domain and the Weather.US and the ECMWF. We'll see how this verifies for long range value. The first two graphics are the NWS ensemble chance of greater than .25" water equivalent of frozen precipitation. These are run off of late day ensembles and post, "prior" to the 00z cycle ensembles. The two graphics courtesy of the ECMWF are the chances of 3+" of snow for this event which are increasing a bit in the I84 area and are from the 00z ensembles. No LOCK on any of this coming to pass though I'm pretty confident the interior west and north of NYC will have some sort of winter hazards this weekend. Depends I think, in part on how strong the northern stream short wave is that crosses the Great Lakes. The stronger it is, then I think the storm tracks further north. At 633AM the 14th, I added the 00z/14 NWS ensemble and EPS chance of 3+ inches of snow so that it's easy to go back and compare to reality. The risk has increased a bit for the NWS ensemble system to something similar to the EPS. Certainly no lock for 3+ inches s of I-84. At 457PM/19 added the NOHRSC snowfall analysis. Gives a feel for value in the ensembles. Later, Walt 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Should be an interesting week of tracking. Like you just said , the further north the primary is, the more warmth there will be. Gfs just shifted slightly south with the primary and the Euro also did the same. Should this continue, the area would see more frozen on the front end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not out of the realm of possibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Don't see how we wouldn't get 2-4" or more from the front end. Strong surface cold and pretty cold mid-levels to start too. HP is 1040+ before it weakens so some sort of CAD is likely too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree unless there are drastic changes which, surely is still on the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The GFS has been the most consistent of all the models for several days now one run after another - not impossible in mid- January with a strong high in front of it slow to leave the area- it also has shifted the higher totals south across southern inland NJ this run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Some really nice trends with this over night. Last week I mentioned a possible overrunning threat around this timeframe. I can just see ch 7 news now, with the screen shot of last Saturday in the 70’s at Central Park compared to next Saturday in the snow lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models are delaying the timing a bit, on the plus side if the front end is at night it may help with temps/totals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 12z gfs really blowing up the cutter for Thursday in New England. This should really help with confluence for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only negative it the high splits so we a bit of a southeast wind along the coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 4-8 thump for the area on the Gfs. It’s nice to see but keep expectations in check. Models have been horrible this winter and having a low in upstate ny isn’t ideal. It’s really all about that high pressure for the nyc metro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelocita Weather Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Wow, basically a complete snowstorm for the entire region on the GFS with VERY COLD air in place. Not even sure much mix would enter the picture per that run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCweatherNOW Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It does turn to rain but it was a colder run. the high pressure almost turns this into a full blown miller B snowstorm. It’s trending in our way still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
