Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.

Not liking the amped up runs. City coast will be mostly rain with that scenario. Need a weaker wave or stronger high

Weaker isn’t necessarily good for the coast.

It's not

Amped is but not close to the coast

We have a small window near the city between the storm being too warm/NW and weak sauce/SE. It’s possible the storm goes through those goalposts but it’ll be tough. 

Yeah a true thread the needle as we've been saying. Let's hope we get lucky. We certainly got lucky with many thread the needle storms during the great run of snowfall winters we had before the last few years. You never know.

Nam is slightly more amped than 6z but nothing earth shattering.

the bigger concern is why are you looking at a mesoscale model this far out ?

[Franklin0529]

Fast mover too

Yep I think that would be a good early call for NYC if you had to make one, but it's very early to be making a call. A long way to go. 

its way to early in a borderline situation to be making any call 3 + days out

Eps and Euro have been too amped recently ever since the upgrade.

any documentation provided by those in charge of these models to prove your theory ?

Mostly for signs of a warm nose causing us to flip to sleet. But I agree the nam won't see that til Friday

If it sees it it's usually right. It's rare we luck and stay all snow if the low is onshore.

chances are with all the blocking a secondary may develop along the coast south of us - this was discussed by Arcfield Weathers Paul Dorian this morning..

gfs in a bit stronger than last night and keeps the fun going with some light-er snow all day sunday. lets hops the cmc and euro show something a little more amped and we find a happy middle ground. im hoping for a solid 5-6inches in white plains. i do wonder though since i've only lived down here for a year and half and experienced snow twice in this region, would y'all consider white plains a "coastal" area? 

Live here too. I feel like we are the beginning of the non coastal area/ inland, but I really have no clue! I’ve wanted to know that too!

most models have the LP moving away east northeast from the coast and also light snow lingering through Sunday

Strong high

The two positives are The snow will fall at night and temperatures Friday night will be in the low 20s away from the immediate shore and heat islands.
