Re: January 16th-17th Snow Event
For fear of inciting riots and being banned to OTI with the title of Warmicist, I shall cease my actions and potentially law breaking actions of outcry against the establishment, and observe quietly until the event is over, whereby I will either be able to claim a small victory and condemn myself to hiding so I do not invite further riots out discontent for verification of my prediction. Or, if wrong, I shall admit to such and willfully accept any and all public humiliation and actions taken to mock me lmaooooo

What about the low that most models have developing on the front? It's very possible this enhances the precip and gives Hudson valley 3-6. especially when most models show it snowing from Tuesday afternoon thru wednesday morning. I just checked NWS Albany snowfall forecast for the event and they have Poughkeepsie area getting 5 so it's a definite possibility.
Where's the forcing for all of this? I certainly can't find any lol your H5 energy is way strung out and lagging the surface feature, and you have a rapidly decaying jet structure. Your main forcing mechanisms for deep vertical motion are entirely disjointed and/or weak/decaying. There's no way you're gonna get a half-foot of snow with all of your forcing for ascent coming from H7 and below lol there's nothing to expand the precip shield and draw it northwestward back into our area. It's gonna be concentrated around any low-level circulation, which even if it does develop is offshore. Snow showers and periods of light snow. No dendritic growth, just needles and columns, which don't rapidly accumulate. I just do not see this happening.
Even without any additional enhancement this was still looking like a 1-3 inch type event. It won't take much to get us into 4-6 inch range plus it snows for around 18 hours. The 12z GFS, NAM, RGEM, CMC, all show HV getting around .50 liquid equivalent so they are indicating some forcing. When all models show this in this short time frame I'm going to say this is a very good sign especially for inland areas where temps won't be an issue.

CMC Ensembles and GEFS are colder and further east than their op runs
This leads me to believe that the upcoming runs will be colder.

Jman every time it’s supposed to snow you complain/ worry that you have to drive. Did you become a taxi driver or delivery Man? Anyway 3-6” over 12 hours will cause no issues while driving on the main roads. Warmiccist
Warmicisdt? I never said I don't want snow. Bring it on I'd just prefer not be on roads especially with my child.

From Armando on another site
While boundary layers and profile will have to be sorted out , given it's a volatile situation of where that secondary tracks as well, it's interesting to note the location of the 250mb ULJ. Weak baroclinic wave under left exit region. Curious to see how this all plays out, but looking good for places NW of metro areas

Re: January 16th-17th Snow Event
12z Euro wants to have the coast, NNJ and the lower hudson valley rain for most of the event. Im not buying it, but key is it does now develop the coastal low much stronger and west than 0z

As you likely heard by now we have some snow on the way beginning Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. The GFS shows light snow falling from 2pm Tuesday to 10am Wednesday. It even tries to pop a coastal low to bring about moderate to heavy snow over portions of Long Island and southern New England. Surface temperatures look to be above freezing for the immediate coast, including NYC, but boundary temps are plentiful cold to support snow and not rain or mix. Due to the light intensity of the snow I am not expecting much accumulation on major roadways. Side roads and cold surfaces will get covered, however.
I am thinking 1-3 inches for SNJ, CNJ, and the Jersey Shore. 2-4 inches for LI, NYC, NE NJ. 3-6" is possible for NW NJ, N&W of NYC, and much of east-central and NE PA.
Start time likely to be 11am Tuesday (for NYC, earlier west) with an end time overnight Tuesday.
Frank, thanks for this new thread and the update!! Looks like the HV might get to 4 inches on this one.Elevation and ratio working for me on this one.
No problem. You are in a good spot.

Agree, and 3-6" is just for those N&W of NYC. Everyone else is likely 1-3" with pockets of 4".
It will start early Tuesday afternoon but the heaviest precip will be Wednesday morning. It is a long duration event of light to sometimes moderate precip. I think roads will be fine, actually.

Where is it overdone? I think Doc and CP's area are a pretty good bet for 3-4". Hi-Res NAM shows .25" liquid with cold air

The hi-res nam is on the low end for qpf. The other models show atleast .50 for most areas and the Euro is off the charts north and west.

Re: January 16th-17th Snow Event
If most of the precip occurs after dark Tuesday night through Wednesday morning then I think the BL temps are less of an issue for the coast. Also some of the local media meteorologists (whom I can’t stand) are saying this thing can stall off the Jersey coast and stick around all Day Wednesday

Re: January 16th-17th Snow Event
I wasn't necessarily referring to you, specifically, Frank, that comment was directed much more toward the outputs showing 3-6" or more for a large area. Sorry for the confusion, buddy.

Im still very much worried about a warm nose into the lower levels

There is a meso low that keeps poking its head of the NC Coast/OBX that could really ramp thing s up as HM pointed out in a tweet.
A few EPS members as I poste dyesteerdya had a solution as such stalling of teh jersey coast for a bit, dont see why that is.
Been doing a service project all day for MLK service day here.

Re: January 16th-17th Snow Event
Here is Uptons take:
he approaching weak low and associated positively-tilted upper
trough/deep layer SW flow aloft will approach on Tue, with
chances for light snow increasing through the day, especially NW
of NYC, where an inch or two of accumulation may be possible by
evening. Farther east, low level WAA and light precip intensity
at best may not allow temps to cool down as much toward wet bulb
temps, so afternoon precip across parts of Long Island more
likely to be be a rain/snow mix.
High temps should range from the upper 20s well inland, to
30-35 most elsewhere, to some upper 30s in parts of eastern Long
Island.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Guidance consensus is now rather strong for Tuesday night into
Wednesday night for an upper full latitude trough to moves
across the eastern United States and into the western Atlantic
as the upper flow has become more progressive. The northern
stream energy and surface low will be weakening across upstate
New York Tuesday night into Wednesday. An inverted trough off
the southeast coast Tuesday night develops into a coastal low by
12Z Wednesday off the DELMARVA as the upper trough approaches.
Again guidance is well clustered in deepening the low Wednesday,
and passing over or near the 70/40 benchmark. Light
precipitation, snow, with the weakening low initially moves into
the region Tuesday night. Then the coastal low dominates
Wednesday into Wednesday night. Low level warm air wraps into
the far eastern sections, mainly New London Connecticut to the
twin forks of Long Island, ahead of the low late Tuesday night
into Wednesday. The ECMWF wraps the warmer air the furtherest
west, with the GFS and NAM just across the far eastern zones.
Leaned toward this colder solution as the low will be
progressive. As such there will likely be a rain/snow mix, and
even a change to all rain for a time Wednesday, before colder
air returns as the low departs after 21Z Wednesday. Looks to be
an advisory level snow event across portions of northeastern New
Jersey through the lower Hudson Valley and across southern
Connecticut, while coastal locations will be in the 2 inch
range. Too early at this time to post an advisory, and also some
uncertainty, if the coastal low tracks farther east with the
progressive flow, then snow amounts will be lower.
