The wind will likely cut ratios down. Models now are predicting up to 40+ mph on the coast. I think 12:1 or so is a good bet.

The models went haywire with that storm though 24 hours out after having the storm for several days.

An example of what happens when phasing happens too late. I remember vividly watching modeling, reading NWS statements (from PHL Friday night, some of the most strongly worded statements I've ever seen from PHL), and listening to Paul Kocin tell us about massive accumulations up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Then with each passing hour, it became obvious that it just wasn't going to make it.

Keep in mind--just about EVERY model had the 3/5/01 storm from 6 days out clear up until the Friday before the event. Then, things became complex, and we eventually in NJ got 1/2" of slush and slop.

Kinda the inverse of this.

Why anyone would use the ECMWF at 36 hours for QPF baffles me. Just get the general idea from the Euro, I wouldn't debate semantics with it's QPF at this short range....it is generally off. Track, placement, and deepening of surface low look great and upper levels supports a MECS-HECS still.

Strongly agree.

Man 12z GFS has around .5"+ for NYC/C NJ coast from 4-7pm tomorrow... wow!

12z NAM also has this signal but off the coast a little bushing coastal NJ/LI..

most models have the 5h getting deeper around 21z tomorrow (526dm) over VA bringing the exploding precip shield to PHL/NJ/NYC/LI and nam is a little late and se with the heaviest.

good stuff!

Beautiful vertically stacked system. Beware though--if you live in coastal NJ, NY, LI, etc, you don't want that H85 low getting even one inch closer. That brings p-type problem, regardless of what that map says. In fact, if the banding doesn't set up and yield dynamic cooling, with the H85 low placement, the immediate coast may already be in trouble.

Especially for those poor bastards going to the game tomorrow night...:) Go Birds.

Yeah, Howard Eskin just called into WIP. He's working with Hurricane right now at channel 10 and said Hurricane is talking about blizzard-like conditions during the game. I bet this is the first time a lot of people heard about this storm.

i've been seeing a girl down there. i might have to make a visit, she will be so shocked at how little interest i will have in her while im there.

How long does it take to get there? I take it youre not talking about Long Beach, NY, but the Long Beach off the Jersey Coast?
