Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
The NAM shifted SE as well, is more in line withGFS. The 6Z Euro held onto the CAD more as well giving a SE bump to snow,mix boundary. I am not disocunting the GFS at this time and has been advertising this SE trajectory off Norfolk Va for a couple days now. From 33nRain wx board pic.twitter.com/ZDZxw1OXIy

Have to look at 500, mid level centers to see whats what.

Need about 2 more tics. If the GFS is truly leading the way it seems feasible for I95 and points NW for some accumulations. Synoptically it makes sense for SE push.amugs wrote:12Z EURO takes a slight tick SE

I vehemently agree we have about abother 20-25 miles jog left maybe more. Th emid level torch I have not looked at yet for EURO but seeing the SLP heading East is better news for those who were fringe a day ago and true slop. Still have some time peeps.
Again beyond day 6 GFS is mal but is better at Miller B's with teh newest upgrade? We'll see but I know they have been tweaking this model since the upgrade a couple of weeks ago.

I would say this coming 18z run/tonight’s 00z - as it’ll be within 24ish hours of start time, generally.

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
850's plenty cold
7
700 Too
Now Euro - but again it has a stupidly wrong double barrel Low that is screwing up these maps so I say pull these 50 miles SE and there you have it
N wind as well at 700
850
This is where i'd say this line should be (heavy black line), between warm and cold air that supports wintry precip.
Problem is the boundary layer, surface temps are above freezing but with heavier precip and darkness we at 33* can overcome this with heavier rates.
Also the further east this torm gets it allows more cold air to come in, less resistance.

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
Still a decent track difference between the Euro and GFS for tomorrow night & Friday. But for all the bashing the GFS takes (often deservedly so), the Euro has trended more offshore and closer the GFS solution. pic.twitter.com/9cmTyGKLqf

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
The GFS track would bring snow accumulations to the I95 IMO. Especially if it starts to deepen as it moves towards the BM, then it can drag in colder air faster. I've seen worse setups bring snow to I95 before...amugs wrote:@HAWStill a decent track difference between the Euro and GFS for tomorrow night & Friday.

And about 25 miles more SE would be even better

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
FIRST CALL MAPS
"The main change in the FIRST CALL forecast in the lower Middle Atlantic, the northern Mid-Atlantic, and in New England is that the model data last night and early this morning is actually a couple of degrees warmer. This is not a surprise given the fact that the Coastal LOW is going to be tracking in land which produces an easterly wind. And since the ocean water temperatures in mid-December are still relatively mild, easterly winds bring in mild faster. Parenthetically, if we had the exact same storm track and set up during the early or mid-March this would be primarily a snow event for much of the middle Atlantic and New England since the ocean water temperatures in March would be much colder.
In the Shenandoah Valley, western Maryland, the eastern panhandle of West Virginia the short-range model data shows temperatures DO NOT drop down to 28 degrees early Thursday morning. The new model data is a few degrees warmer, so temperatures stay around 31 or 32 degrees from 2 am to noon on Thursday. This significantly reduces the threat of major ice buildup. If you look at the ICE forecast map you will see that we have removed the term HEAVY ICE because of these slightly milder temperatures.
Further to the north, the lightly milder temperatures at the surface and the mid-levels of the atmosphere has increased the threat of this being a snow elevation event. By that we mean the precipitation might be a snow rain mix at 500 or 800 foot elevation, but it could be mostly also above 1000 ft or 1500 foot elevation. This means that the snowfall amounts in places such as the Hudson River Valley and the Connecticut River Valley could end up being several inches LESS than the immediate mountains and hills on either side of these river valleys. More information on waiting times and everything else."

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
The river towns in orange county or as low as 150 feet whereas the northern and western parts of the county run upwards of 1000 to 1200 feet. Where Doc and I are about 5 miles apart is about 6 to 700 feet above sea level I don’t see us getting in on those higher amounts but I hope I’m wrong. Now where Damien is in northern orange I could definitely see it

Welcome back CP. Not the same without you posting.
Cheers to being back

Re: Dec 16 Just a little change can make the difference
I was surprised to see that my neck of the woods is expected to get maybe over 2" of rain and regular 30+ mph winds from this. Not that big of a deal, but we'll feel it, that's for sure. lol!
So, hopefully, things work out for the northern half of the board. You look at the r/s line Mugsy drew in the map up above and it goes right through the New York island. If he's right, that would be a great, unexpected outcome for a lot of our forum members! Here's hoping...and thanks a million to all our mets for the time and effort you all give in the tracking and forecasting!

CP, I have been watching this trend slowly in our favor the last few days.Went from hazardous weather warning to a now winter storm watch.A solid 4 at this juncture is a good shot up from maybe an inch of slop yesterday.Mugsy showing those GFS and Euro maps ticking this S and E seem to be coming into play.He has been honking over that CAD effect all week.Let's see tomorrow morning where we stand on this one.
Still have a few inch snowpack here, guess you do as well.Down by the Red Apple Rest, barely an inch.That's the river elevation area, up my hill on the Orange Tpk, we are up that 6-700 feet and that does make a difference for sure.
Good to have you back Buddy, winter storms would be no fun without you reporting!
