Let's hope this one works out!!

I think the 8th Amendment guarantees it has too. This isn’t like when things looked good at long range and started slowly degrading as we got closer.  This time (with these trends inside 72 hours across ALL major guidance) a rug pull would be cruel and unusual punishment!

Imagine the next Mont Holly AFD might become a little more bullish on snowfall versus sleet and rain. 

I don't blame them on wanting to get closer to the event.

Area Forecast Discussion

National Weather Service

Mount Holly NJ

619 AM EST Mon Feb 15 2021

 

 

Precipitation type: If we get precipitation on Wednesday night ahead
of the mid level warm air advection, then precip will start as all
snow. The elevated warm layer will develop from south to north
through the day on Thursday, resulting in a change from snow to
wintry mix and eventually to rain for some of our region. The
elevated warm layer should erode from west to east Thursday night
into Friday, which will mean our precipitation will change once
again to a rain/snow mix depending on the temperature through the
boundary layer. Part of this will be dependent on which of the
surface lows becomes dominant, if it is the eastern low as the ECMWF
is depicting, this change to rain/snow could occur earlier than what
we are currently forecasting.

Wintery impacts: Our snow and ice amount forecasts won`t go out far
enough to cover this event until Tuesday afternoon, and the amounts
are still very uncertain given the questions of precipitation type
mentioned above. That being said, snow to liquid ratios will likely
be quite low through this event (combination of periods of mixed
precip and marginal temperature profiles even with all snow), so
that should temper snow amounts. Ice, of course is the other
concern, but the good news here is that for most of the region, the
period of freezing rain should be limited before a change over to
rain or all snow. However, any amount of ice can have impacts (as we
saw yesterday). At this point, I expect some travel/driving impacts
for most, if not all of the region.

It’s early but I can already tell the NAM is going to be way NW of all the globals. Way more amped up and it’s directing the lead wave of energy to our NW 

3km is a good shift SE of 12km With heights so that’s a positive

Edit: well maybe slightly better. Gonna need a lot more though.

NAM is a disaster still. And it’s still trending worse with the 700 mb warm layer. It’s amazing how far apart the high res models are from the globals. It’s not just the NAM btw. I know it’s way early but I took a peek at the HRWs and they are all exactly like the NAM. Directing the initial wave up into NW PA nowhere near us with any snow. The high res are laughing at the globals saying we won’t even be within 100 miles of an inch of snow.

Concerning it is, but will pull the "NAM not in its wheelhouse yet" card

Problem is the NAM has the ability to see the mid level warm layers the globals don’t.  The other problem is with the screaming SW jet it kinda makes sense!  It’s why I was hesitant to get excited about this setup. So yea maybe it’s wrong but it’s worrying Imo.  
ETA: would still be a high impact ice event. I have absolutely 0 interest in that though.

I would love to know at what level the warm nose is on this run. Because I don't see it on the upper level plots.

Edited to add at hour 69. When the precip starts. 

Around 700mb. It’s pretty high up which jives with the jet presentation. Warmest level could even be above 700mb. That’s why such a large sleet area.

Yesterday they were focused more on rain falling over wet snow pack and flooding concerns, so it seems they are shifting their thinking some with the latest trends.

Let’s lay out all the objective evidence. The globals are all trending better. No denying that. And it’s still early to be sold on the high resolution models. But given that SW flow a high mid level warm layer does make sense. And the NAM can see something like that better then globals. People laugh at the nam at range but I can think of numerous examples where the NAM saw a mid level warm layer the globals didn’t from 72 hours out.  I do think it’s a red flag.
