January 3rd 2022 potential coastal snowstorm

 It doesn't look good for us hopefully we can squeak out an inch with some nice Arctic air to follow would make it look very wintry for a few days

i figured as much, thats okay we will get ours just barely jan. Crazy that NYC may see 2-4 and literally a mile outside the bronx we may see a inch, talk about a shoarp cutoff lol, if i wasnt working i might have gone to the city or even down to jersey.

Euro is  Warning level snows for Southern half of New Jersey and extreme Eastern Long Island advisory snows for rest of Long Island in Southern boroughs

3+ for southern parts of NYC

Temps in the upper 20s for everyone

These cutoffs are sharp as usual. Difference of 20 miles may mean an inch to 6" of snow. Where they setup will be game time to determine. I could totally see I-95 from Philly to NYC getting sig snow out of this.

 I agree it's interesting that the globals Except for the UK Get accumulating snow to New York City ann Long Island but the meso models do not

First Call map.  The line that separates the 0.5-2" and 2-4" may have to shift south through at least half of LI due to the fact that there is some really cold dry air as the moisture moves in.  What has me hesitate is the ratios will be very high, at least 12-15:1 or more N of LI so its the counter balance to the dry air.  Certainly still room to shift a tad N as well

I'm not even going to try with this one. lol. If my area gets 1" of snow or 8" of snow tomorrow I wouldn't be shocked. Sroc's map looks like a pretty good call.

I am however thrilled that SENJ Snowman may hit the jackpot in this. He has missed out on some big ones in recent years and it is tough to get an event like this at the SNJ coast, so would be nice for him to get the white gold this time.

SRoc- we may be on the battle lines between Manorville and Wading River! I’m just south of exit 69 LIE

Totally. You are in a pretty good spot. I’ll probably be next door to you later tonight. Playing hockey at Rapid Fire arena later. I’m literally due N of you.

Hate/Love to say this but this screams pure now cast event. Models are inconsistent

This is certainly true for everyone north of a line from about Burlington County NJ to Monmouth County NJ. South of there is pretty locked in on a significant snow event, but the northern tier of this just won't be locked in until it is happening.

EPS momma mia is that a juiced vortex. A bit more phase and NWS has an issue like Houston for NYC Metro

One caveat I guess would be is if there is any further northern shift the ratios over the southern third of NJ could drop off quick dropping totals despite the highest QPF. This is def a complex forecast

Thanks Bill and others for the well wishes!! Of course, there’s a decent sized contingent (make that FULL TIME contingent lol) of Jersey Shore Coasties on the board, I just got the biggest mouth! Ha ha

But hopefully we get this one as presently billed. No doubt after a run of really good luck from 13/14 to 17/18, the last 3 yrs have been especially disappointing at the Shore. We did get a decent February overall last year, but nothing that came close to this potential.

In the blue area is may have a shot at sig snow.  I like the 95 corridor for having legit shot at sig snow right up to Staten Island, Brooklyn and then into LI. I think above this blue area c-2" and less as you move further away.

Agreed. And I know temps will crash as it moves in, but how fast can it overcome the warm ground after a week of 40's and 50's? It won't be blitzing here like down south, will it be enough?

The banner has been raised in coastal Ocean County.

As it’s 60 degrees!! Lol, my word!

Thinking the same thing here in edison, not sure the snowfall intensity will be enough to overcome the warm ground. Southern nj, yes but up here not so sure

18z NAM says... nope   lol

Why is the NAM doing that? Ugghh. Oh well, at least now time starts soon enough. Lol.

Hrrr is in line with the nam

Hate to say this but sometimes the SR models coup the LR models at the last minute so it very well could be the outcome but for those getting sig snow I hope not, and even scotts map has me getting .5-2 which i would be happy to see any snowflakes as I have not yet this year. Just hope it does not disrupt morning commute too much, if it were to come far enough north what timing are we talking?

SENJ congrats wish for the best down there my man!!

Noted as I totally agree with from a wx board poster at 33 n rain

Still have backside energy wildcard, temp gradient wild card, thunderstorm development wildcards. Gotta watch how these development the next 12 hours. A small change to some of these could have an immediate effect track and precip shield wise that won't be modeled. Nowcasting situations developing now.

Latent heat release of T-storms can do wonky things to model. This synoptic set up is very difficult. GFS, GEFS, EURO and EPS are all in lockstep basically.

to mess with and drive you crazy of course, I have a good feeling about this for you and if I get to see a inch or two that would be the icing on the cake, if it is sunny and cold that also will be fine, i hope we at least get a flurry lol

Interesting, what t-storms is he talking about? Is there a t-storm tail on this down south? How would that effect the outcome up here? Sorry thats probably a loaded question.
