wdrag Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I edited the 1/1 event about 20 minutes after posting. The change: I'll begin a new topic for 1/3 late today if its still modeled by the GFS para and EC but prefer GGEM on board.That one would be very low confidence for what could be a grazing fast developing nor'easter w snow somewhere close to NYC??? Again low confidence but on recent GFS parallel and EC OP. My energy is focused on 1/1 since ensembles are not very enthusiastic for land impact on 1/3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These one storm right after another are difficult for the models to accurately forecast ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These one storm right after another are difficult for the models to accurately forecast ?? Yes I agree... BUT, i don't want to overdo the topics. I saw a complaint on New England about 1/3 added into 1/1. So I admitted guilt and separated it. The 06z GFSV16 has lost it for 1/3. I need the GGEM on board, then I'll go with it. I'm offline from 9A to possibly 1 or 2P...so you all will be on top of everything. I am concerned about folks believing the V16 so much. I myself want the V16 to improve it's BL temperature profiles so it handles icing and snow better. Any other improvements will be gravy, for me. NCEP knows the stats. I don't. V16 will be coming, almost no matter what but I'm not enthusiastic yet. It's been all over the place on 1/1 qpf wise and seems the same on 1/3. I need stability in models, which means they need to handle sensitivities better, just y opinion. Will watch for other modeling to join forces for 1/3. Right now, I have to lay low. Thanks for your thoughts. (am also not an all out EC guy, but much more so than GFS V16-it is the overall best with GFS then GGEM not too far behind-losing faith almost daily in UK) 2 minutes ago, NEG NAO said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The timing is right for a coastal system around the 4th. Each -AO drop going back to early December has featured one. The first was on December 5th and the 2nd on the 16th. But we need the closing off of the upper low and storm separation following the New Years storm to work out. As Walt mentioned , the spacing issues could result in a scraper track if the New Years storm suppresses it. Exact storm tracks for the models are a challenge beyond 3-5 days. We just saw how the whole evolution of the New Years storm changed several days ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on watching the storm for next week Maybe such an extreme North Pacific storm in early January means that we are nearing the peak of this +EPO cycle. If this is the case, then we would get some improvement on the Pacific side by mid-January. That could be what the weeklies are trying to show. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 12Z GFS still not showing the storm for early next week organizing and moving up the coast still about 5 days out though - that previous system is suppressing it on this model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEG NAO Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 12Z unreliable 16V GFS is similar to the GFS OP the storm doesn't have enough room to develop so moves east waiting on the Canadian to finish running 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the 12z GV16 comes back, and Euro stays on it. Thanks for all the posts. Suspect will favor I84 for primary now event but may allow for closer to I95 option. Need more thinking time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 fwiw: This is probably sleet or ice mistakenly 10 to 1 snow ratio, but UK seemingly coming on board for Fri afternoon-night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 There's some sort of cruel and dark weenie humor here if Central Park manages to record an inch of snow just a few days outside of December. Just missing the mark to have a 30 inch average snowfall for the 30 year period. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closed low went north of us this run. We needed a perfect thread the needle UL track and storm spacing to get at least a change to snow after such a mild start to the storm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman19 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Agree 100%. It would need to be the definition of thread the needle for the metro area to get snow. The airmass is putrid, the wave spacing isn’t that great and yea, the PAC sucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
