GEFS is the same. The Fri-Sat storm is done for 80-90% of us. The mid month hopefully pattern improvement is too far away to make any guesses about storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadInTheClouds Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 50 today. NWS forecast for 1-2 tomorrow night then mixing which is reasonable. Weather channel app has me 8-12 tomorrow night up from 5-8, lol. GFS does have me getting 11 but we know that will not verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterweatherlover Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 My guess for tomorrow SE of I95- All rain I95-I287- <1 inch snow/sleet than rain I287-I84- 1-2 inches snow than mostly sleet ending as rain I84 region- 2-4 inches snow changing to sleet maybe ending as light rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm too jaded by this winter but I'm not excited by anything until the RGEM is on board (so basically nothing outside of 84 hours and a model I trust). So far I've been right though, the one time the RGEM was on board we got snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 A storm will bring rain to Philadelphia, Newark, and New York City tomorrow into Saturday. Some frozen precipitation is possible well to the north and west of the cities. A moderate to significant snowfall is likely across central New York State and central to northern New England. Albany could see 5"-10" of snow. After what increasingly appears to be a warmer than normal first week to March, a colder regime could develop during the second week of the month. At present, no severe March cold appears likely. The colder regime could last into or even through the closing week of March. In addition, historic experience with very low snowfall totals through February argues that a very snowy March or big snowstorm during March or April are unlikely. Despite attractive 500 mb patterns, the base case is that at least through March 10th, snowfall will likely be below normal from Philadelphia to New York City. Reflecting the base case scenario, the 12z operational ECMWF, GFS, and GGEM have no significant snowfall through March 10th. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.3°C for the week centered around February 22. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.25°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.50°C. La Niña conditions fading and they should evolve to neutral conditions during late winter or early spring. The SOI was +12.16 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.099 today. On February 28 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 1.253 (RMM). The February 27-adjusted amplitude was 0.982 (RMM). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, there's still a chance that what we've gotten is going to be it for the season. That would keep this season as #1 in futility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, the upcoming pattern may have potential but can also be a complete shutout. I'm not too hopeful until I see storms actually showing up in the 4-5 day range. However I do get that a good pattern and cold air are important prerequisites for having a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it's a 50/50 shot. I can easily see DC Baltimore and Philly getting an event and end up with more snow than CPK.

Not since the 50s.....unless you want to count 1993 which changed to rain here, although 1992-93 wasn't total crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to include March temps then no winter tops 2011-12 which was far warmer, even than 2001-02. These kinds of winters have become more common now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my thinking on getting the new snowfall record....if March is only going to have a 1-3 or 2-4 annoying little storm then might as well get the new snowfall record. I'm torn about 4-8 because that would be interesting though still not big but much bigger than anything this season. But if we're going to get a foot or more of snow, then it's worth it not to get the futility record. But not for some piddly little 1-3 or 2-4 event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's go for the first footer in March in many decades! I'd def take 6-12, that's legit In terms of lower amounts I lean the way you've stated in previous posts there is a difference between 3-6 inches followed by rain or 50 degree weather the next day vs 3-6 inches of all snow that sticks around for a little while. Also I really don't take the record very seriously because a lot of the area is already above the CPK number. It's just one spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
