RGEM is a huge thump. Almost a foot on Long Island

With these frigid temps this next week I have no doubt the bay will freeze. Especially where I live in Baltimore county

6F

Love this blurb from RAH disco. I have said all along that sleet is going to save my area from crushing ZR. Of course not too far from me it's going to be lights out. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 457 AM EST Sat Jan 24 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... As of 400 AM Saturday... * There will probably be a corridor of more sleet accumulation at the expense of freezing rain accrual than currently forecast, probably over a portion of the nw Piedmont. This probability is not explicitly forecast at this time; and it may not be until the nowcasting phase, when observational trends indicate when and where it may occur. * No notable changes have otherwise been made to the ongoing forecast.

Well it's a week out . After this storms turn north I'll take a whiff a week out. A whiff now could mean coastal by then

Thursday looks like a snow event with that clipper

and the "blizzard" for next week is a whiff now

Really going to be a nowcast for tomorrow am. We will be watching the snow/sleet line in real time. Side note: 6Z 3K NAM forecast is 3 degrees too warm for me at 6 am this morning, so who knows about whether it is right for Sunday am.

and the "blizzard" for next week is a whiff now

10° out here for the low. Looking forward to what’s coming.

Scaling back of snow totals has begun

Just find the model output with the most snow and hug it.

When you’re up all night doing shrooms and gummies that happens

Meh no idea what to expect could be 8 could be 16”. Rockland is right on the line.

On the one hand the NAM isn’t as bad as 0z. On the other hand the rest of the globals are walking back their totals (though we were all expecting that from gfs).

HRRR is probably too cold at this range and will come into line with other guidance. I'd love for it to verify too but it's still a little outside of where I'd use it. GFS was always going to cave. NAM getting a little better is somewhat encouraging although losing the GFS to this degree is a little concerning. It's going to sleet a decent amount into the city with this, we just have to hope the heavy snow rates can hold it back as long as possible. SWFEs will just try to screw us over in any way they can and gain the last possible inch north. This is the exact storm type where Boston will get buried.

Finally. Mix up into the LV.

That RRFS is reprehensible. If correct, absolutely beyond belief. Throw it out.

Shows the hills very well north to south there

Wxmodels page doesn’t have kuchie like pivotal for icon, 10:1

6 degrees in New City Rockland County right now,,,,,,,,,,,bring the snow no thanks to any sleet or ice
