Too bad the snow couldn’t be faster getting here, because this airmass is hauling out of here as fast as it came in, and the little delays mean a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't have enough qpf for that even if temps fully cooperated which is still iffy in the city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I don’t think anyone in the city other than maybe parts of the Bronx get over 3”. They might as well as some hilly parts of Nassau and N Suffolk. Otherwise I think it’s generally 1-3”. More than this should really be reserved for places N/W.

This is a fairly unusual setup. I don’t recall any case of a primary this strong going into the lakes giving us even 3-4 inches 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still shows it ending as rain but no hint of sleet in those soundings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Seems like the initial burst then long lull could be an issue too. Time to warm everything up on S winds in the showery precip, then the meat of it is rain or mix. Again just seems like so much could go wrong that it’s foolish to predict over 3” in NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the only model showing this lull at 0z is the HR which I don't put much stock in. Both NAM's fill in faster than previous runs. Hopefully it's real and should help since we need all we can get early.Sent from my GM1925 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good initial burst of snow at 1-3pm, but it may lead to a mini dry slot after that for a couple hours since (another feature of SWFEs often around here), the main WAA shoots NW of us and we're left waiting for the meat of the precip around dusk, when it may be marginal for snow near the city and coast due to it being dry and there's that couple of hours for southerly flow to warm everything up. It may happen or may not but it's a possibility. If it's really a solid wall of snow that comes into NYC, it'll hold off the warming at the surface and there won't be the couple hour period with showery stuff.

Definitely feasible-southerly winds are a kiss of death a lot sooner on Captree than Sunken Meadow. It eventually cooks both but the extra 90 mins or so could mean an additional 1-2" if it's during heavy precip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 NWS (Philly and NYC offices) reduced snowfall a bit for areas along and south of 78 (and 495 east of Manhattan), including for NYC, based mostly on less QPF while temps are cold enough, according to the AFDs. None of the advisory counties changed and the advisories still say 2-4" for NE NJ/NYC/LI, but the maps have less within that 2-4" range. A little surprised as I didn't think the 0Z models had backed off on snowfall amounts, but what do I know, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 ...17* here..barometer v. strong @ 30.70"..pretty close to KFOK's 30.60"..their dew point is @ 4*.. expecting the usual out here..little snow then the c/o..agrees with the NWS NOT putting the east end in a WWA.

wdrag Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Good Saturday morning everyone (Jan 18). This is an mPING day. Should produce some accumulation for our entire forum area. I've added some ensemble products as self checks against big amounts... the questions I have...ultimate water equivalent QPF and does it sleet in a marginally thermal column late today, or does upward motion, compensate to produce 1/2S at 5-6PM. I've opted for the snow-sleet=trim amounts scenario for my own area of interest (I84 corridor of ne PA/nw NJ). The EC Kuchera is rather robust in the Poconos/nw NJ and as is the Experimental HRRR. I am definitely concerned about sleet...already sleeting (mPING) where one might have thought it be snowing in w MD. It will be hazardous at times this afternoon-evening on all surfaces up here nw NJ and se NYS. Ground too cold and air temps I do not think can rise as fast as modeled away from LI. So the first 3 graphics are NWS ensemble chances of 1+, 2+ and 4+ inches. Then the EPS prob courtesy Weather.US, for 3+ inches which continues uncertainty nw NJ but favors 3+ with its ~80% probs. Finally the 06z HRRRX variable density product and these amounts look a little too high to me.... I could see this would be possible if ALL snow. So my confidence in an all snow situation til 02z is below average for nw NJ and ne PA. Hope I'm wrong. 658A/18 at 502P/19 added the NOHRSC snowfall analysis to compare against NWS and EPS probabilities for various thresholds 2,3,4" This illustrates value of considering ensembles as limiters on extremes. One thing we know' HRRRX was terrible in northern PA where the sleet I think impacted this variable density product. Rest of the HRRX product looked decent.

Brasiluvsnow Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Question, if the Snow starts earlier than advertised do you think we are looking at an over performer or that the system will be in and out faster and less snow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 At 8:40 am, an area of snow was pushing eastward across central Pennsylvania. Recently, Bradford was reporting heavy snow with a temperature of 18°. As the morning progresses, the snow will move into eastern Pennsylvania. During the early afternoon, snow will begin to break out in the greater New York Metro area. For now, the storm remains on track to bring a general 2"-4" snow to such locations as Newark, New York City, and Bridgeport. Scranton, Binghamton, and Albany still appear to be in line for 3"-6" snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
