No not wrong Jake. Someone like Bernie who is in the public eye esp dont want to flip and flop with the models. Plus he may be 100% right. Models are showing a western trend, but it doesnt mean the final outcome ends up that way. He will make his adjustment by tomorrow if the trends cont. Remember for the Jan 23rd storm he did not change until last minute either. Its not a bad thing to hold firm to a forecast. I respect it tremendously. He knows a heck of alot more than me. Even though he didnt change his snow totals until late for the Jan 23rd, in his videos he kept explaining and acknowleding where and how the trend N and west could happen. I have not seen his latest video so not sure if he mentions the possibilty of a further west trend or not.

I heard on 1010 wins tom night rain  changing to wet snow by Friday morning then  ending by the morning with a coating maybe an inch on grassy area

Lee Goldberg just said could be a snow chance thru. Into Fri morning commute some might have a couple of inches east of city..he will discuss later in the program

Last March the rgem/euro did great with these set ups. We'll see how she unfolds.

nws disco...
POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCUMULATING WET SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING MAINLY EAST OF NYC ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND
SOUTHERN CT.

MODELS SHOW AN AMPLIFYING SHORT WAVE DIGGING SE AND BECOMING
SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE...ALLOWING LOW PRES TO DEVELOP CLOSER TO THE
COAST THU NIGHT AND ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIP SHIELD TO EXPAND FURTHER
NORTH AND WEST THAN PREVIOUS FORECASTS.

ALTHOUGH THERMAL PROFILES ARE MARGINAL AS THE PRECIP DEVELOPS
AFTER MIDNIGHT THU NIGHT...THE ATMOSPHERE DOES COOL AND LIGHT
RAIN..QUICKLY MIXES WITH AND CHANGES TO SNOW.

BEFORE THE SNOW ENDS FRIDAY MORNING...
THE MOST LIKELY FCST...1-3 INCHES ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND SE CT
WITH LESS THAN 1 INCH FOR NYC.

THE FORECAST UNCERTAINTY...

A SHIFT IN THE TRACK FURTHER WEST COULD RESULT IN UP TO 3-6
INCHES ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHERN CT WITH HIGH IMPACT DURING
THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE.

A SHIFT FURTHER EAST...A DUSTING OF LESS THAN 1 INCH OR NO SNOW.

STAY TUNED. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
FOR THIS POTENTIAL EVENT.

Al I was scrolling through and just realized you posted the 18zrgem about 20 mins before I did. My bad.

Np scott great to have storms to track.

Here is the link to bernies latest video. Great video. Outlines everything very nicely for this Friday. And goes into next week as well.

21z SREF, mood flakes about sums it up, if at all, trends seem to hit a brick wall 18z today. Hmph.

http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/SREF21PRSNE_21z/srefloop.html#picture

For Friday, the 21Z SREFs have a mean of 0.93" of snow but a median of 0.005" of snow.  Five of the 26 plumes have over one inch of snow.  Of those five, the snow totals for LaGuardia Airport are: 1.32", 2.12", 3.28", 5.35", and.....10.58"(!).  Of course, 13 of the 26 plumes show NO snow for LGA for Friday.

500mb vort is just a little too fast and whole flow is too progressive. As Frank and RB said (paraphrasing) it doesnt have enough time before the HP forces it out to sea. Overall I dont think itll be a complete non event for everyone, but not a major accumulation for most of us either. Thinking right now possibility of light accums SE of 95 and flakes flying in most of the state possible (NJ) as well as extreme SEPA and SENY.
