The precip shifted but the L stayed in same spot but 10 mb weaker. Ehh it's 18z

There was times when storms broke away and became there own force. I been following these guys since the 7online weather blogs. And seen it happen or become double barrell

I agree with them. this is a warm core system. if it gets close enough mixing will be a concern esp for LI. gfs has rain for the cape initially.

We cannot see a model tick east and dismiss it, while only using models that show what we want.
Why was there no mention of a bias or an off run when it ticked west

by Guest Sun Dec 31, 2017 5:12 pm

....also NO WAY it rains from this storm unless it is way inside the BM. Calm down with that. The arctic air is overwhelming

by **aiannone** Sun Dec 31, 2017 5:12 pm

There continues to be
strength and track differences amongst the deterministic and
ensembles, but today`s 12z trend has been slightly to the west
on both. It still looks cold enough for snow across the area,
but any further shift west could start bringing in warmer air
aloft with a mix or even changeover to rain at the coast.

How can we be talking about rain in this kind of cold snap lol

by **aiannone** Sun Dec 31, 2017 5:14 pm

Also it is NOT EAST at all. It's actually exactly in the same position as 12z, just slightly weaker precip field which makes it look east. So everyone relax lol

I couldn't agree more. I said two days ago some of the Euro individual members would mean a big rain event in B O S T O N and the Cape and some of eastern CT and RI. Of course that's if the center came close enough to Central/Eastern LI. Right now that doesn't seem likely but all options are still out there, including of course a miss.

Starting to think this storm doesn't have much more room to come west. Its extremely hard to a get a low pressure that develops east of Florida to right off our coast. Would really like to see it develop further west

For what it's worth TWC has increased snowfall amounts for Suffolk County on Thursday from 1-3 to 3-5in

We will get better sampling from the last piece of this puzzle in the next 24-36 hours

Not what I meant, I meant I do not see with how cold it is that it rains, if it does it will freeze on contact and with that much precip will be a disaster.

Said that earlier, its exactly same spot but the precip shifted a bit, no worries here. Alex me and you may have make a tripo to the cape LOL remember when you went

Models are having a hard time with the complex setup especially where the low develops east of Florida coast. I do believe low will develop and track west of where GFS depicts it. I think models will struggle with this until later tomorrow when we get better sampling.

It could and if it does it will be a terrible freezing rain storm because aloft it may be warm but no way the surface gets nice and toasty, recipe for disaster if that happened.

Western ridge much sharper. I’ll check in at 11:00 and 1:30. Fingers crossed. Happy New Years All. Going out now!
