January 22nd-23rd High Impact Storm

I think the Euro is boutta show something cray. H5 looks sexy

Hour 84 ridge is cut off over Hudson Bay......oh boy

96 H5 closes off over NC.

HOLY CRAP EURO just crushed the Coast from hr 96 - 118 JESUS MOther of Storms for them relentless winds and rain
Interior get crushed with snow

STALLS OVER THE DELMARVA OMG!!!!

EURO

High winds on the EURO too

This is going to be bad for all areas along the Jersey shore

Must admit the precipitation shield was a bit underwhelming, but evolution was amazing

Coastal areas are in trouble

Storm surge for the Shore?

Jesus 20 hr period of winds 40 to 60+ gusts worst monday afternoon through tues morning. Snow is well inland and ya rb precip was sparse I think it's undermideled. Also will those winds mix down even though surface wind maps show gusts 60+ mph. Bad news coast nj nyc surround suburbs and li coastal ct. Looks like my drive monday afternoon us not going to b fun.

Ive noticed this too on several runs on various models. Is this thing becoming occluded by the time it gets to us?

Did I see that right 974mb and over land and a stall prolonging the winds? This will cause a huge amount of power disruption and beach coastal flooding. Rain doesn't look heavy enough to flood but I can see the rain shield being more inpressive.

what does occluded mean again sroc? This looks like it may b a moderate rain and mainly wind threat. Was showing 5 plus inches rain few days ago.

Looks like about 3-4 feet right now on Monday.

Does anybody have the WxBell qpf map for the grand totals?

Technically, yes, but that's not the reason. Right now as progged, the mid-level evolution is almost ideal for the interior, and just narrowly not so for the coastal plain. The reason why the precipitation fields are varying from model to model and run to run right now is because the exact placement and structure of the H5 low is still uncertain. Remember, your best forcing and dynamics occur roughly 200-300 miles on the north and northwest side of a closed mid-level low. The reason the Euro is "drier" is because it tracks the H5 low right over our area. So, we get part of the precipitation shield while it's over the Delmarva, but then notice how the axis of heaviest precipitation is centered through west-central NY and Pa as the H5 low moves overhead. The GFS, however, takes the H5 low with the same intensity evolution, and tracks off the Mid-Atlantic coast, allowing the "comma head" to work right through our whole area. The CMC is kind of like a blend of the Euro and GFS, although what it does with the H5 low beyond the Delmarva, along with its jet, makes little sense to me.

Does that help?

Yes Scott this is not a typical Nor'easter where the storm hits the Carolina coast and then explodes as it comes North it actually explodes down south and weekends as it heads up. We need those Dynamics the GFS was showing just west of Philly and then West Central New Jersey to shift about a hundred miles east

24 hr period of TS force wind gusts, 12 hr or so over 50/60mph wow, thats crazy.

Like 1-3 inches for the area or so rain, no snow on euro unless well inland.

right you will probably see snow, heres the map.

I'm definitely well inland. And I definitely do NOT envy you guys.

Personally, while I think the Euro is on track on the broad scale, I think it's misrepresenting the H5 low and resultant precipitation field.

There is a ton of vorticity that doesnt begin coming ashore for 48hrs. Long way to go.

We envy you on this one! We would much rather it be snow and wind than rain and wind, though a heavy wet snow and 50-60mph winds would be even worse for trees.

Dos this have to possibility to be even more intense say sub 970mb? Giving us even more insane winds, and wouldnt that also bring in enough of its own cold air to bring snow right down to the coast or close?

Agreed lol I'm looking VERY forward the Euro Ensembles haha
