When that goes NW of you, S mid level winds are driving warm air in. With these kind of storms you hope a lot of overrunning precip can happen first before the warm air arrives. You want those to redevelop south of you to keep cold air in. whats causing all these bad 850 storm tracks? Is that also because of the se ridge being too strong?

LibertyBell Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:07 PM 32 minutes ago, RU848789 said: Finally found this, which really shows well the amounts of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain for the 12Z NAM for selected locations. For Newark, it has 0.54" total precip, which includes 1.7" of snow (assumes 10:1 ratio), about 1.1" of sleet (from 0.37" of sleet as liquid and using a 3:1 ratio) and no freezing rain or plain rain. For Philly, it has 0.69" total precip, which includes 1.4" of snow, about 0.3" of sleet (from 0.11" of sleet as liquid and using a 3:1 ratio), but it also shows 0.42" of freezing rain (and no plain rain), which would be just terrible. Rule of thumb is maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of freezing rain precip actually accretes on sub-32F surfaces (some runs off, especially if precip is moderate to heavy; drizzle accumulates much better), meaning maybe 0.25" of ice accretion, which is close to the 0.17" of accumulated freezing rain from the NWS forecast. Biggest take home message is no plain rain, so this will be quite impactful even for areas south of 78 which might get a lot less pure snow, as sleet and freezing rain are as bad or worse. Even AC is only showing half of the 0.6" of total precip as plain rain. Of course, this is just the NAM model verbatim and the actual outcome might be much different as per the NWS with more snow and less sleet/freezing rain for most. https://coolwx.com/cgi-bin/getbufr.cgi?region=NJ&stn=KACY&model=nam&time=current&field=prec what does it show for JFK? any plain rain down this way or all frozen?

I normally ignore the NAM suite but in special situations like this with a warm nose, it can sometimes actually score a rare coup. FWIW, the extended HRRR and the SREFs are similar to the NAM-NEST as well Link to the NAM-NEST in case anyone wants to look: https://weather.cod.edu/forecast/legacy/ I wish they'd keep the NAM up to date, it has value in situations like this and also in el nino strong southern stream patterns (like January 2016 for example.)

I’m not so sure this is an all snow event even for places like Bergen, Rockland, Westchester. I think they go over to sleet too. This is probably about the only time you will ever hear me say this, but because of this warm nose setup, the 3K NAM may be the way to go tomorrow. The globals aren’t going to pick up on the warm nose strength/location until it’s too late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted Friday at 06:29 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:29 PM Looks like the NWS-Philly is going with the sleetier/icier forecast for almost everyone, given the advisories below with snow amounts decreased due to sleet and with freezing rain of 0.1-0.2" for most. For most of CNJ, where I live, 2" of sleet/snow with 0.2" of ice would have the equivalent frozen mass (the freezing rain will be absorbed by the sleet/snow, not melt it) of ~6" of 10:1 snow on all surfaces. This could be a shitstorm if places get 1/4" of ice accretion as per the NWS and some models which show even more. I think everyone would rather have all snow, but it's looking like a mix for anyone south of 78 and probably even south of 80 if these advisories are correct; wonder if Upton will follow suit. Also, nothing will melt overnight with temps at or below 32F for most until 9-10 am, so conditions in the morning will likely still be treacherous with 2" or so of snow/sleet then maybe 0.2" of ice on top of that. But who knows, maybe the snow will do better this time than yesterday. Edit: added in the newly updated NWS-Philly snow/ice maps, showing the significant deceases in snowfall forecasts for everyone, but people should know that the decreased snow will be replaced by sleet, not rain, so the frozen mass on the ground will be about the same and the amount of freezing rain forecast hasn't changed much (and that will add to the frozen mass on the ground). https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=PHI&wwa=winter weather advisory URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 101 PM EST Fri Feb 7 2025 NJZ009-010-012-015-PAZ054-061-062-105-106-080715- /O.NEW.KPHI.WW.Y.0007.250208T2000Z-250209T1100Z/ Hunterdon-Somerset-Middlesex-Mercer-Carbon-Lehigh-Northampton- Upper Bucks-Lower Bucks- Including the cities of Doylestown, Trenton, Bethlehem, Somerville, New Brunswick, Flemington, Jim Thorpe, Perkasie, Chalfont, Allentown, Morrisville, and Easton 101 PM EST Fri Feb 7 2025 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM SATURDAY TO 6 AM EST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected.

I'm a tad south of you, and these setups aren't usually good. Frankly i do better when it starts as heavy snow then transitions to rain; if there is a warm nose the sleet takes over pretty fast and we get a lot of sleet. None of these systems have packed a lot of moisture for some of us this year, so we may be looking at an inch give or take of mostly sleet. Which I'd rather not even have. I find it more treacherous than plain snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWA and only 2-4 inches total of snow and sleet for Sussex County, NJ. Can’t say I’m shocked though given what the hi res (3K) NAM, SREFS, extended HRRR and the NBM are showing. If the global models are even showing a substantial warm nose extending north and west of the city at this range, you know it’s going to mean business tomorrow night, since they always underestimate them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
