January 28-30th Possible Nor'easter

We are not yet close to knowing exactly where this storm is going. Certain factors compared to last night favor a track closer to the coast while others favor a track further offshore and we do not know yet which set of factors is going to be predominant as we get closer to the weekend. For one, the eastern trough is sharper/deeper. This can work in our favor or draw the storm too close and flip us over to rain. However because of the progressive nature of the pattern, that right now does not seem likely. There's another storm approaching the western Great Lakes as our ocean storm is trying to gain latitude. That can act as a kicker. But it is very interesting to note as the storm moves northeast on the CMC, the further north it gets the slower it moves. This is a good thing. And the UKMET has trended a little to the left, also a good thing. We definitely do not want too strong a trend to the left because if it were to happen, we'd flip to rain. So I still think we're in a reasonably good position with where this could be going.  

WX/PT

Ordinarily that location works for us. But not if the SLP takes an offshore track like the UK. Then it's a whiff... an impressive windy whiff.

Except it's a decent bump west and Suffolk Co gets warning criteria snows.  

Only need a few bumps west to get the majority of our subforum.  What's 50-100 miles in 4+ days?

Out of curiosity, what does this mean? Do you agree with that outlook or are you expecting something else? Would love to hear any analysis you may have. 

That is a snowstorm for the metro ...neg tilt trough Saturday morning  with surface low capture

The euro will give you a similar look at 1 am.    Then yell at the WPC forecaster who made the map 

When it doesn't deliver.      :lol:

A month that sucked to finish a decade that mostly sucked

 

The decade wasn't finished yet.... February 1989 sucked with ACY getting over a foot of snow while we got virga and blew a predicted 6-8 inch call, but then December 1989 came and we blew the call the other way as a 6-8 inch forecast turned into rain at the last minute despite a month that had an average temp of an astounding 12 degrees below normal, we got like 2 inches of snow LOL

I chose to forget that. The 80's were so bad they actually extended for a full 13 years appropriately and included 90,91 and 92
