While there is forecast to be a weak low level inversion tomorrow, the models have 50 KT down to 975mb. So any convection could mix down 60 mph+ gusts on Long Island. Also our best rain event probably since last summer. Good low topped squall line potential with plenty of moisture available and highs in the low 60s.

Surprised there aren’t more posts about this. Models show a window for gusts 50-60mph+ tomorrow evening near the coast. It won’t snow but that’s enough to cause local power issues.

Models do tend to overestimate winds though.    I would imagine wind advisories for the areas west of the high wind watches

Plenty of extremes in this pattern with the potential to approach December record high pressure near 1048mb in New England.

45 / 45 fog and low clouds.  Warmer than normal and wet later this PM and Wed  up to 2.00 inches of rain and higher in the north / eatern spots.  50s today and low 60s Wed.     60 hour cool down Thu - Sat, then overall near to warmer than normal mid month and beyond.

Doesn’t seem to be much of an inversion with temps and dewpoints in the 50s. We’ll see. Hard to tell in advance sometimes if these wind events are overhyped or they produce.

HRRR very bullish on rain amounts with 2 to 3 inches for most of the area. Just what we need to help with the drought. 

Yeah i think we're good for at least 1.5" though some models have us in the in between zone with heavier amounts east and west

Looks like we are on our way to the same old crap Decembers we have come accustomed to recently. Keep expectations low for this winter. Hopefully we get a favorable period in January. 

-PDO doing the dirty work-MJO slow through the warm phases 4-5-6 and quick through the cold phases 8-1-2

Key here is "keep your expectations low"

Not saying there can't be a few surprises but I'm not seeing anything right now that is offering a prolonged BN temperature regime or a  favorable pattern for east coast snowstorms.  Again, a few well timed systems with cold air could certainly deliver.  Overall though the pattern is looking similar to the last several winters.

Without a snowfall in December, its likely we don’t get close to normal snow this season in this regime.  I went for 14 inches for CP.  I feel good about that but could bust high.

Yeah, going from the 2010s to 2020s has been the biggest decadal decline in snowfall that we have seen so far.
