Good Evening -

Please use this thread for observations and further discussion. Here's what I'm seeing...

300mb jet streak on the 18z RGEM shows incredible structure and position. A sharper trough which should try to lure the surface low toward the coast.

January 7, 2017 Storm Observations  300mb_geopotential_height_winds_CONUS_hr024.png.c16624ee79fa7931cd1c7698838ac3e3

Water vapor imagery shows higher cloud tops filling in on the NW side. This suggests the expansive precip field models are showing is real.

Current observations are already developing a low pressure system in the Gulf.

Radar looks really good. All that convection makes me believe the short range trends of N&W are legitimate.

January 7, 2017 Storm Observations  Southeast_loop.gif.015c87438d4092c7f4b673aea52fe592

In short, almost all guidance late this afternoon shifted the heavier snow bands further inland. All these changes we're seeing aloft in the short run COULD have big implications on snow totals. So, with that said:

January 7, 2017 Storm Observations  Snow_map

I don't have time to create a new snow map. But I can say the above has a high chance of busting low. I will stick with these totals, but my gut is now telling me all of LI will see 4-8 inches, with parts of eastern LI approaching 10 inches. That 4 to 8 inch swath extends into Jersey Shore and southern NJ. For NYC, I think 3 to 6 inches is now likely. This includes areas just north and ALL of eastern NJ besides the immediate coast. Western NJ will be where the cut offs become noticeable. I'll keep them in a 1 to 3 inch zone with potential up to 4 inches. This area of 1 to 3 includes eastern PA and those well N&W of NYC.

At the time I made my snow map I wasn't comfortable pulling the trigger on higher amounts. But current observations and short term trends have me thinking differentely. I don't think I've ever cheered myself to bust low. If I do, the observations outlined above will be the reason why.

Happy Tracking.

Ciao!

I'm headed out tonight to celebrate a buddies 40th B Day so I won't be able to post much if at all. If I do post later and it doesn't make much sense this is why. So before I leave you all for the night I will leave you with these thoughts on the latest trends...
