Exactly. 2 days away and still no agreement. RGEM GFS SREF CMC Are on our side at least but hopefully the Nam is not onto something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
33andrain 65,031 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So... would you rather have the Euro/NAM or the Ukie/RGEM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This water on the roadways will dry out and the bad air mass in front of Wednesday's system is only about 36 hours long. Also add that you will precip before sun up as temperatures are falling towards 30, I would not focus on the ground being too warm argument. If the impulse comes out you will accumulate. I like how someone mentioned the sun angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GFS / UKIE / CMC # 2 , 3 , 4 ( 4 into NYC ) EURO vs # 1 ( 2 into NYC ) Both fit the 2 to 4 but I guess we all want to top cluster to be right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weathergun 1,881 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The GFS might be showing too much widespread precip behind the front, with this mid-level dry wedge it has on the soundings in the area on Wednesday AM. I suspect the banding will be more narrow and precip will shut off a little quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I made the point yesterday, I should and so should Western LI.and areas to NYC SW and NE. In fact area from Philly to Boston should ,right up I 95 which where these focus. That's the line, NYC LGA JFK don't see those totals for the reasons I posted about , that's been the forecast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But truthfully I don’t see many cracking 4” from this event even up in the hills. We’ll find out soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's what these storms like to do from Philly to Boston. NYC LGA JFK probably measure 1 to 2 , but around them will do better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah this looks like a widespread C-3" locally 4" event to me, there should be persistent dry air advection behind the front preventing more significant qpf and thus preventing more significant snowfall. Cities should have minimal accumulation outside of grassy or typically colder surfaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PB GFI 42,858 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 These don't focus to far N and W , the Artcic front is being pushed east as the impulse is riding N. The front is not stationary so I am not sure how far W the heaviest precip gets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The problem for the coast will be temps at the start but once the temps start dropping , some accumulations will occur. Today will be a big day for modeling. Wouldn't be shocked to see an uptick in precip amounts. But I am talking about Monmouth and Nassau vs Brooklyn. I don't like the concrete jungle to do great with these. Think 1 to 2 for you with wet streets Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every time there is a storm people think my area will get the lowest with only wet streets. 1-2” on colder surfaces is still 1-2” I wouldn’t mind that happening tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Henry 1,043 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hopefully the Euro is not onto something, NAM caved to it and euro continues looking bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crossbowftw3 571 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 This wasn't really meant to be a big storm to begin with and to me, the overnight runs seem to be narrowing in closer to a consensus. Even if it means less snow, it's still a consensus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
