NYC Jan 11-12 Miller B Thread Part 2

Recommended Posts

The problem with NYC getting big snow totals is the track of the H5 low, ideally we would want the H5 to pass south of us, like the 6z NAM was showing, however the latest runs are showing the H5 low basically tracking on top of us, which won't allow heavy precipitation to really "hook" and and wrap around to give NYC 12+. SNE looks to be the sweet-spot with this storm.

17z RUC has the western edge of the 'HEAVY BANDING' (1"+/hr) reaching about 5-10 miles W of the parkway in N NJ. It has this consistent for about 5-7 hours where it does not move at all. Showing an EXTREME cutoff somehwere in N NJ.

18z RUC will be interesting since it will have new observations with the 18z data.

any of the echoes actually reaching the ground in nj? I don't want to radar hallucinate, but looks like they will be reaching the metro area by 4pm....

we have yet to have a bust this year and we all know that there have been quite a few busts in the past 5 years. I wish someone would keep a thread with all the busted storms with info on what was suppose to happen and what did happen. Not saying that we will bust but there is precidence for things not going to plan especially with Miller Bs

Radar shows something over me now and I have milky sun instead. I dont think we see any real stuff in Central Jersey until at least 6 which would mean later for NYC

WRF-NMM shows a similar dual banding structure to the Dec 26 event, with the western band similarly oriented north-south. However, the western band is about 50 miles further east than Dec 26, from western LI to the Berkshires. The eastern band between PVD and BOS is very similar to Dec 26.

Eh, I guess I'll take it:

Would be surprised if someone doesn't get a blizzard warning in the next NWS update. With a closer track and the storm not any weaker than it's been looking, someone will definitely experience near-blizzard to blizzard conditions on Long Island. At least my opinion. Thoughts?

Not likely. There needs to be sustained 3 hour period of 1/4 visibility and that doesn't seem to be in th cards anywhere.

Thanks Tombo-- what a weird gradient lol. You could have west of NYC with 6 inches, NYC with 10 and eastern LI with 18!

It happens with these dynamic, banded setups. I actually like where we sit for this one. I'd rather be on the western end of the high QPF than even right in the middle of it. That's where the best deformation banding sets up, and indeed we get absolutely annihilated on some of the hi-res models for several hours or more early tomorrow AM. Someone could see 20" if the kind of banding being displayed actually happens, and not far from us.

Same lol. I actually think we should name this the JM Birthday Storm lol.... and it would be perfect if you jackpotted because it would have to be one hell of a gradient for you to jackpot and me not to lol. ;)

This really seems like a more compactified version of the Millenium Storm. If you remember, with that one, NJ was the jackpot and the low tracked over Central Suffolk County. The two storms I'm thinking of with this are that one and Feb 10, 2010..... both intensified rapidly and had sharp gradients. I remember you mentioned another one yesterday-- but I forget which storm that was.
