NYC Jan 11-12 Miller B Thread Part 2

Recommended Posts

With the track the RGEM has, weird that it throws so little back to NYC (relatively).

As for GFS, definitely a small shift west.

0z on left, 12z on right.

Small shift west for sure, but the more important thing seems to be that area of much higher totals just offshore. Is the storm slower on the 12z GFS too?

At 3AM when the heavy banding extends from Passaic County NJ to Western LI and everyone is getting crushed I'll be their to say "I told you so". This is so much like the Boxing Day event in terms of what the models are depicting its hilarious. Mabye the heaviest banding will shift 10-20 miles further east making NYC and Western LI the JP zones but the higher ratios is NJ thanks to much less wind should make up the difference. Wouldn't be surprised to see 14-1 ratios near 287 and the favored higher terrain near West Milford cashing in on 12+" even with less than 1" QPF.

In terms of track, RGEM looks a lot like the NAM and would likely be a similar solution. It's not all about the QPF which is often smoothed, and doesn't reflect very small scale banding/mesoscale aspects.

Agree

RGEM is way west of GFS.

I don't like how far off the SC coast the GFS initialized the surface low. Easy to locate on recent vis just to the S/SE of Wilmington. I'd say this current positoin is 25-50 West of GFS 12 z low position. Based on an early review of 12z runs so no reason why local nws offices will change snowfall forecasts. (expection could be Eastern Mass / Coastal RI b/c of mixing and likely dry slot)

OFF THE MODEL INITIALIZATION AT 12Z, THE GFS APPEARS TOO FLAT WITH

THE SERN TROF AT 500MB AND A FARTHER OFFSHORE WHILE INTERNALLY

LOGICAL, MAY BE TOO EAST. THE WALLOPS 1C WARMER TEMPS AT 850MB

ARE NOT EXTENDING THAT FAR INLAND AS APG AND IAD 850MB TEMPS ARE

AT OR BELOW -4C AND MODEL INITIALIZATION IS TOO WARM THERE. SO NO BIG

PTYPE CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE.

HPC says Nam was weak and more south and east than where the storm is.

WITH THE WAVE OFF THE SERN COAST THE NAM SFC ANALYSIS IS ABOUT 2

MB WEAKER THAN OBSERVED... AND MAY ALSO BE A LITTLE SSE OF THE

OBSERVED POSN. DEPENDING ON THE FCST HR THE NAM MID LVL SYSTEM IS

IN THE MIDDLE OR SLOWER HALF OF THE GUIDANCE SPREAD. THE SFC LOW

ALONG THE EAST COAST IS GENERALLY IN THE WRN THIRD OF THE

ENVELOPE. FROM TUE INTO WED THE PAST 24 HRS OF NAM RUNS SHOW

GRADUALLY FASTER TREND WITH LEADING MID LVL HGT FALLS PROGRESSING

FROM THE MID MS VLY INTO THE MID ATLC/NEW ENGLAND. THIS TREND

DIMINISHES BY F36 LATE WED. THE NAM COMPARES WELL TO OTHER WELL

CLUSTERED GUIDANCE WITH WEAKENING SFC LOW PRESSURE TO THE W OF THE

APLCHNS.
