This will be interesting moving forward but not big hopes since teh PAC is a mess and there are so many vorts swirling around as SROC has noted. How does a vort get sheared in a NINO pattern this strong? Perplexing to me if it is indeed correct. Euro has hours of light snow like 12 on its 12 z run. Para gives us 9 hours of light snow on Monday.

Feel like two storms close together never work out well, now that this upcoming threat trended colder (not enough to our benefit...) I think heights drop and a trough forms in the east possibly too deep and may force this threat OTS and shear apart the energy. We shall see...

24 hours from now is thursday night, the rain (if there is any) is supposed to be friday night into sat according to Frank and the models.

It seems like the models I've seen are leaning toward taking it out to sea south of here. But others on here have access to more models than me so they may have better input.

The goods news with this event is air temps will be cold cold from the Arctic Front that ratios will be high - in the 15:1 - 20:1 range. The GFS has the 500mb vort closed off over NY state while the EURO is a bit further south so it is able to tap into some Atlantic moisture. The further south this gets, the better our shot for accumulating snow. I want to see it where the red X is but because the flow is so fast and the western ridge is not that amplified I have a feeling this will be nothing more than just a coating to 2 inches across the area. Most people would take 1-2 inches anyway. This is a tricky forecast.

GFS does not show much. EURO more impressive.

The to be coastal is ots, if you look far south on the run, I assume you expect it to stay that way?

Models are def trying to keep the STJ out of the equation.  Yesterdays beast on the 12z GFS is fading fast.  12z GFS yest seemed to consolidate all energy phasing the N with the south; tilting the trough neg, and brining it up the coast:
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 <a href=State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Gfs_z515" />
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Gfs_z518

Whereas the Euro yesterday kept everything seperate:
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 <a href=State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Ecmwf_33" />
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 <a href=State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Ecmwf_34" />

I suppose not entirely off the table, but a phase like 12GFS yest is unlikely to me given the trends so the main energy in the S branch looks to keep the surface LP OTS. GFS has gone to the keeping things seperate.
12 GFS today looks like this.  
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 <a href=State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Gfs_z516" />

I think we have to hope for one of two options.  An inverted trough, or as JB pointed out this morning a wave of LP redeveloping along the arctic front that intensifys.  Right now the 12z GFS and the 00zEuro shows this Low developing over Nantucket.  We need it to pop further south, somehwere where I marked X.  I think this might enhance QPF amts a little as it can tap atlantic moisture in a further S position.
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 <a href=State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Gfs_pr12" />

Like Frank mentioned the center of the PV needs to sink a little further S for this to happen.  The vorts rotating around the PV is what triggers that weaker wave in the furst place.  So one could visualize if the center of the PV were further S so would the vorticity associated with it.  
State of the Union: Winter Edition & MLK Day Possible Storm - Page 2 Gfs_z517


Also as Frank points out ratios could be quite high so even a mere 0.25" of QPF could mean 3-5" if the ratios were 15-20:1 verbatim.  I am pretty sure we all would sign for that at this point.  We shall see what 12z Euro looks like shortly

And also like Frank points out the ridge out west plays a big role as well. For fear of getting burned again I decline to lean any direction ATT.

Great analysis sroc. I'll translate for all the rest of us. Screwed again!! This time not because of a storm cutting, but basically because the energy gets suppressed south. Winter of 2015/16. the only excitement now is to see how Friday the 22nd unravels as we get closer. Very Happy Razz

As I stated, and Frank it be great if you chime in sroc al mugs etc. but all models are showing a coastal this far out (22nd) that has to be a good thing no? But why does the euro still have it pretty far south at 240 hrs? Is it because like I said its bias to hold back?

The NWS gives us (primarily LI) between a 5 and 10% chance of receiving 1" of snow from late Sunday night into Monday morning.  HWO and WWA soon to follow.  Break out the plows and snowblowers!!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked

Frank please take the crawl down it's becoming depressing.

I agree not sure why the thing about MLK coastal is still up.

We are a nose away from it Scott. Thw euro keeps correcting with each run. Like we have been saying all along these storms will kind of POP UP on us, like the snow yesterday morning. Rgem had it Wednesday 12 z run before that nada!!

Let get the rgem in better range hwre and we go from there.

Abb I am at work. I will try to post the maps to show what I mean later. Euro is kind of on its own, but each run is getting a little closer, and a little closer to turning this thing up. It still may not be a direct hit, but keep in mind this would be a high ration snow so even 0.2-0.3"QPF could be a welcome relief if it were to unfold.
