Just a word of advice for you guys. Don’t go to a golf course to view the northern lights. I did and I went to leave and now I can’t leave because they’ve locked the gate. I didn’t know they had a gat

Just a heads up, Tropical Tidbits finally added more features for the ECMWF. The recent upgrade of the Euro also takes it out to 360 hours

2-3 inches are  my intial  thoughts for the LV proper , more around S  Mt  area  and Blue Mt areas (3-5 inches). Strictly elevation driven snow accumaltions . For example, driving through Shimerville on Rt 29 and toward Bear Creek resort ,  I see some good  accumalting snow. Same goes with driving through Wind Gap, Lehigh Tunnel and Rt 309. Big wet heavy snow flakes  half dollar size to pancake size-white rain). The streets will cave in the LV  for accumalation  if it snows hard enough  in the early morning and toward sunrise. Poconos 12+ in around Tobyhanna a good bet. Winter storm watches issued for the Pocono area by morning Advisories everywhere else after Euro run

still sticking with this as my first call 13 hours ago. The 12Z models for GFS and CMC pretty much back me up. Lots of white rain.

I’d be happy just to see some flakes fly down this way, think there’s a decent chance of seeing that.

Same. Just want to see some flakes falling...just to know it's still possible.

59F/Cloudy

Accu weather throwing out a chance of a thunder banger. Good 2 days heading in...rain, snow chance, possible T-storm and a gusty. Best weather in months. There's our rain stuff out W...Pitt radar.

That GFS Tidbits looks a bit inflated (of course none of this is real but) - same run on WB

Regarding this medium range potential centered around 11/28...it could actually work for many of us. But it does have alot going against it at this time, so I'm not sure I would get too vested in anything just yet.

Pros: decent ridging in the NAO domain, cold air available, confluence appearing with cold HP pressing East along the Canadian Border, decent shortwave coming out of the midwest.

Cons: NAO ridging breaking down quickly, Euro only model/ens really hinting at a 50/50 low, Atlantic is toasty.

Mentioned a few days ago, I'm not sure we want anything amped up right now until we get farther along into December. Weaker wave sliding under us would be ideal imo. But like I said also, this could work out. Has some decent things going for it. We'll see how it plays out. Good to even be talking flakes at this time tbh.

Euro with a 50/50 and wave under us:

100%, anything amped is going to be a mixed bag or cold rain for those of us in the coastal plain/95 potentially even further NW. would be prolific storm for central pa and the poconos. Weaker wave that slides underneath won’t be as prolific of a snowmaker but would be a nice region wide 2-4/3-6” storm for most.

Steve, agree with everything you said....only think I question is the "atlantic is toasty" IMHO one of the least important issues for snow in the mid-atlantic. Give me the right track in winter and unless you are within 30 miles of the ocean I would take my chances!

Precip shield does not look promising at the moment for a soaking rain in the Lehigh Valley tonight. Someone plz talk me off the ledge on the subject. emoji3.png

I see the concern. But i think i also see some growth on a tail behind the first line.

I think we are in a hell of a drought, and drought begets drought. Nowcasting this looks negative for tonight, particularly vs the initial forecasts of 1”+ rain tonight. I hope my post ages poorly and we get dumped on. I want to be wrong.

Looks like I may have been wrong as the radar built up nicely with incoming precip shield from the southwest!

Did not have "spring-type thunderstorm knocking out power to my hotel in November" on my bingo card. Whelp...

Flashy-flash! Thunderboom! Aaaand there goes the power.

I'm in Newark, DE for work, and it's 11/20. But hey, at least it's freaking RAINING, finally??? So I guess we've all got that going for us, which is nice.
