wdrag Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This topic for Friday-Sunday dual event is posted with much lower issuing confidence than the topics of 11/11-15, and 11/30-12/01. There may be several verifiable flood (not flash flood) warnings for rivers-small stream in northern NJ-northwest of I95 by Sunday morning from a widespread 1-2" rainfall, isolated 3" possible. There is a small chance for 45+ MPH gusts. It appears the best chance of verifiable hazards will be along the I84 higher terrain where ice or snow can occur. The ice or snow amounts 3-4 days in the future cannot be counted on to be more than 1 tenth inch glaze or more than 3" of snow, though the option exists for heavier snowfall north of I84. Lead precipitation Friday afternoon and night is associated with a reinforcing cold front. Rain NYC. However the I84 corridor may see some wet snow Friday night? mPING. Saturday: Chilly rain most of the NYC forum, heavy at times with 1-2" general, isolated 3". I84-best chance that there could be some ice Saturday before cooling thicknesses and the rapidly developing low change precipitation to some snow before it ends Saturday night or Sunday morning. mPING may be quite helpful. Winds: Depends how fast the storm develops. If a 998MB low is south of Islip Saturday-then brief northeasterly gusts 40-50 MPH Saturday would be possible on LI and the NJ coast, otherwise I think there may be a better chance of northwest wind gusts 45-50 MPH Saturday night or Sunday morning as the storm moves rapidly past Boston. After further review, I don't think tidal flooding will be a significant threat Saturday. Starter graphics: 6 hr FFG..shows the vulnerable areas. Once yesterdays wave off rising river waters passes Wednesday night, I'll add some small stream guidance-if it applies. Added the 12z/1 GEFS prob of 1". Yellow is up around 75-80% chance. The 12z/1 EPS also has 1-1.5" as does the 12z/1 NAEFS. Final starter graphic is a 52 member NAEFS blend of where the sfc low will be and it's intensity Saturday evening. You'll note the yellow color northeast of the center... that implies greater variability of the pressures there..and could mean that the surface low will be further northeast by Saturday evening. Good luck with this... I hope this topic will produce some verifiable NWS hazards. 521P/1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Good Wednesday morning, I've no changes to this topic. EC-EPS are far different than the GFS-GEFS. NAEFS leans EPS and that is without the ECMWF members. That tells me the EC needs to weighted heavier than all the models. I still don't want to believe it's that strong when it comse through our area but potent for heavy wet snow it is, for northern PA-central and eastern NYS (except extreme se), and northwestern New England. So, everything stated in the topic is reasonable, I think. Will rereview late today. WPC has some pretty large rainfall for our area (widespread 1.5"-2"). Some of modeling is continuing or adding potential for strong easterly flow ahead of low. Needs to be monitored for the midday Saturday night tide, especially if surface pressure dips below 990MB s of ISP. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 06z euro crushes NW Jersey and gets flakes down to LI This is a perfect track for snow all the way to the coast but the airmass is putrid.

Like you said , looks like we finally broke the cutter trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like we will crack the cutter/hugger tracks with this one @bluewave It’s a variation on the same theme. Last December 2nd had the low track just south of Long Island also. But there was more cold available to start last December than this year near the coast. It’s interesting that we are seeing a similar track almost a year to the day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but we still can’t discount the idea of a weak wave since it has support and the EUROs medium skill just seems crappy anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That why I pointed out the other day that the Euro was leaving too much energy back to the SW. So it’s now more phased for the 5th instead of squashing the low off the SE Coast.

MJO812 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'm shocked people are quiet over the Nam's output especially for people north and west of the city. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The 12z NAM is a quick hitting wet snow bomb north of the City with a little snow in elevated NNJ. Compared to most other guidance, the NAM has a relatively compact precip. field. This is still evolving with every cycle so it's conceivable things could shift more widespread wintry with time. But without much cold air it seems like a lot more can go wrong than right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and the rgem just came in off the coast and colder. I think the coast will see a cold rain with maybe some flakes at the end but interior areas should keep an eye on it.

Brian5671 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 GFS and CMC show a suppressed solution with almost no precip north and west of NYC. With no cold high to the north, I'd doubt such solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 2000 ft NW of the city through Monday so I'm excited about the storm but I'm also excited about when I get back because it looks like we'll have about a 10 day window between Dec 10 and 20 when it could get quite wintry at the coast.
