Actually to further on the NWS and one wanting to get into the reasoning of what they’re putting out product wise, when NWS Pittsburgh issued watches for their CWA last night and posted that to their social media (Facebook). I saw this in the comments.

Definitely a candid response, whether CTP subscribes to that method precisely like PBZ does (rarely using deterministic) I’m not sure. But their map products are heavily derived from that NBM nonetheless. 

Glad to see the pros like to use ensemble guidance.  They've been bashed a plenty by some.

Well, this is what CTP put out for Tamaqua in the afternoon forecast package. Not bad for me as the roads "should" generally stay snow free if it's going to be that light.

Monday
Snow, mainly before 4pm. High near 27. Calm wind becoming north 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Guess they didnt look at or consider the HH Nam.

 

I like it.....alot

What are your current thoughts for our area?

Been doing plumbing and chores all day, but while concerned about the souther shift of late, we often see this, and with this current setup, norther adjustments arent bunk imo.  Add to that the typical cool bias we sometimes see, I feel it offers this vort a chance to correct/jump north a bit...somewhat like the HH Nam'r just did.  Is it correct, not sure, but like all of us weenies, I have my methods and theories as to how things often roll here and just use my 3 decades of weenie watching to base my assumptions on. 

Gun to head....we may have another tick or 2 N until we get inside of 24, then a tick back S and then it's go time.  Headed out to dinner shortly, and am sorta casually watching, but I still think lowest tier counties are 3-6 w/ 8" lollies especially in somerset/laurels where a 10 spot may happen.  As stated the other day, IF we can keep the miller b option delayed, or denied, I feel pretty good abt it.  NAM @ 48, the 500's/700s dont show me why it gets sheared and heads SE and makes me scratch my skull a bit.  Every panel SLP holds together, is a couple extra hours of beautiful blue over us.  Mind you I'm just lookin at HH NAM maps.  I may dive deeper later or tomorrow morning. 

Happy weekend gang.

Has the sharp cut off which I actually like to see (no offense to any northers) as it suggests it is realistic.  

agreed.  with this setup, tight gradient should be expected to the N, as its lowest is 1004mb so forcing is limited, but whoever gets the good qpf at -8 to -10 iso's should rack up some fluff IMO.

As long as some aspects of its predict are realistic we can allow it to weigh into thinking IMO.   I was initially gung ho in thinking either  1) This system is  minoring out due to a jump 2) Or sans a jump, it being pushed well south and the jackpot zone being closer to central VA.    But, there have been so many runs of different numerical suites that show it attacking north that I do not think the Norther solutions can be ignored yet.   I still hold 2-4 or 3-6 souther counties and lesser above Harrisburg but could change.   As posted above, just 48 hours ago the Euro had me getting 8-12".

Rgem more souther after the Icon bump up. Still no where near an agreement.

I still keep thinking about the Blizzard of 96 when 48 hours out we were only supposed to get a 1-3 inch grazing by an OTS fish storm in the Lehigh Valley. We ended up with 26" of windblown fluff, so I suppose anything is possible, even if not likely.
