Yep, the NAVGEM rule is that when the Navy isn’t the farthest SE of all guidance, that’s a red flag the other guidance is too far SE. I wouldn’t ignore the Navy here.

Are there AI models that get trained on multiple weather models to look for patterns, such as in the above examples ?   U would think that looking at the systematic bias of Euro, GFS, CMC, etc, in relation to each other, u could get better predictions.

This is very interesting to me - AI incorporating real model biases during certain types of events in specific locations and then correcting for them. I've read that precip amounts are not improved with AI at this point but that the location of the greatest pressure drop, aka where the storm will have the greatest impacts, is.

No answers...modeling variable but pretty sure of minor light snow event for our NYC subforum Sunday night-Monday. Light overrunning qpf of mostly under 0.3"... decent more than 10 to 1 snow ratios. Generally suggests to me a minor snow event that lasts a few days to a week in NYC (again presuming I'm not radically overestimating the chance of an inch of snow in CP from this cold transition back to what might be the coldest day of the season next Wednesday?). 

Lets presume we get an inch or 2 in CP.   Try not to get bummed if it isnt refreshed for a while and looks dirty after two days.

I'll have more to say on any Monday Inauguration Day snowfall, if it looks like a cant miss 1-2".   For now, I find it difficult to believe we will miss a little snow..nickel and dime I know. Thread the needle so not a guarantee.  I just think there is too much jet dynamics next Sunday-Monday.  The jet is already very strong over our area now. 

Anything after 05z/20 is all snow or brief ice to snow and probably a fairly dry snow. 

Will check back tomorrow morning for sure. Thanks for keeping the faith.

A very good article on what a cold and potentially snowy pattern is - and is not. Lots of chances coming up starting around 1/19 and going for a week or longer beyond that, but no guarantees of significant snow (just greater probabilities than usual).

do you know 6+ inch snowfalls were so rare back then I heard there was talk of lowering winter storm warnings to 4" snow and school closings to 4" of snow too? That might happen one day....

 

I did not know that but that's interesting. What does a Euro AI show?

Don’t be so dramatic. We got 24” on LI like two years ago. And multiple blizzards since 2010

18z Euro AI passes the storm south of most of MD. VA and eastern shore of DE and MD are the winners.

But almost brings up a big storm on the 24th.

Would be the third storm for the Delmarva already. This is very reminiscent of a few years ago where they cleaned up as well. Maybe 19/20 was the winter?

Bad trends on the AI with the first wave. Cold dry is very a real threat at this point 

And the cold/dry would be even worse this time with direct Arctic air coming down and the lakes finally freezing up. Still hopeful one of these waves can produce a moderate event but fully aware this can be yet another fail and trend back to suppressed crap.
