A CHISTMAS EVE MORNING MIRACLE?

Mood flakes look more and more likely for much of the region for early Monday morning.  Looking at 500 there is still room, and it wouldnt take much AT ALL, to enhance this some.  All models show at least flakes flying. Again a coating to an inch seems likely with potential for a little more, esp N&W.  

Here is the euro 500mb.  Notice the trough, although not overly amplified, tilting pos and slight neg. as it approaches the coast.  This config is supported on the GFS, CMC and NAM.  

Doc, you are on to something here! NWS has a 40% of snow Sunday night and 20% before noon on Christmas Eve for me.It may not fulfill CP and Jimmy's criteria for a White Christmas of 2.5 inches on the lawns, but seeing even a solid coating with flakes coming down will certainly be a big lift for the Christmas spirit after these rains of Biblical proportion this month,LOL.

Upton starting to recognize....mood flakes

Another shortwave will be approaching as one wave moves through
the northern flow and a souther stream shortwave moves into the
base of the long wave developing trough late Sunday into Sunday
night. At the surface a weak clipper type frontal system will
quickly pass north or through the region Sunday night into
Monday, while the southern stream low passes off the DELMARVA
late Sunday night into Monday. The thermal profiles will be
cold enough across most of the region for light snow to occur.
Across the south profiles will initially be warm enough Sunday
evening for light rain along the coast, and then transition to
light snow as temperatures drop.....

Not going to be a big deal but I guess that inch I may get will be more than I've gotten all month.

Rain snow mix forecast. Up to 50-60% chance. Hopefully temps adjust down a few degrees

Forecast now for 1-3 inches tomorrow night (per WC) and a 70% chance here. NWS at one inch and 60% chance.

If this was any other time other than Christmas Eve I wouldn't even be paying attention.

MIRACULOUS ALRIGHT. IF YOURE
THE EFFIN SCROOGE!!

The Grinch who stole mood flakes.If we get rain instead of snow up here, the Grinch goes into the warmacist category,LOL.

In all honesty Jim I think you have a good chance for snow to fall. The problem we have at the coast is the boundary layer. 925mb an 850mb look to remain below freezing while precip is falling on pretty much all the modeling.

Scott that looks like I would be all snow but syo and you look like rain. Or is that snow in Westchester false due to lower level thermal profiles? Any chance coastal ct sees a better chance? That's where ill b driving tomorrow morning. No not worried bout driving though it would be first snow for my new Camry se

go fund me is the only way you can rob people legally, just make up a cause and people give money. My friend even did one so he could have a nice birthday and was honest about it and he got like $100 lol

Congratulations Doc CP and A few others.

Upton:
Surface temperatures stay above freezing and are mostly in the mid 30s across much of the coast making for little to no snow accumulation. Some places along the north shore of Long Island and in the Pine Barrens will be slightly colder in the lower 30s with forecast snow of a coating. Interior has lows near 30 with snow accumulations closer to 1 inch.

&&

RAP/HRRR/NAM have all come in slightly colder for the overnight,
indicating a higher potential for snow at the coast. Profiles
in NYC are marginal for snow so anticipating a very wet snow
which may only end up accumulating on grassy surfaces.
Elsewhere, snow appears to be the primary ptype for much of the
event, however QPF amounts are only on the order of 1/10 inch or
less, except across the Lower Hudson Valley, southwestern CT
and portions of NE NJ where up to .15" of liquid equivalent pcpn
is forecast. Amounts here haven`t changed much from the
previous forecast, however locations closer to the coast could
see up to 1/2" of snow accumulation. Will need to watch upstream
obs closely this eve.

37 IMBY. 31 out by you Alex. Good luck. MERRY CHRISTMAS

35.5 according to my station. Dp 27 so there will be wetbulbing
