Saturday looks great if you like cold and wind. Very tight pressure gradient develops late Friday night through Saturday between a rapidly deepening area of low pressure over the western Atlantic and strong high pressure over the western Great Lakes. Expect a sudden onset of strong winds after 06Z Sat that moves rapidly from west to east. Model soundings indicate mixing to around 925 mb on Saturday with all guidance, except the Canadian, indicating winds of 40-45 kt in that layer. The 00Z ECMWF continues to have the strongest 925 mb winds with values up to 50 kt. Even below that layer, winds around 950 mb or 0.5 km AGL are between 40-45 kt indicating a high confidence of a solid Wind Advisory event almost everywhere, except down by Albemarle and Nelson Counties. The high elevations will definitely need a High Wind Watch. Believe there is also a decent shot that winds at lower elevations could peak around 50 kt for a short period of time Saturday morning, mainly between 09Z and 15Z where 925 mb low- level jet is passing over northern VA. Extreme Cold Watches have been issued for the Allegheny Mountains with additional Cold Weather Advisories likely needed for the northern half of the fcst area.

Ha..I see by the post count Euro didn't offer up an encore from 12z.

6z GFS is nice

-3° this morning Tomorrow’s clipper doesn’t look to bring me much snow. Johnstown looks to be in a pretty good spot.

Storm after the storm potential on the EPS with energy ejecting east from the southwest and the look up top on the Atlantic side remaining largely intact.

Not much agreement next weekend. From rain to whiffs.

Schools (Rutherford) just called a two hour delay. lol Could have done this yesterday. I had a bus driver cranking at 5:05am. LOL

Halfway decent snow falling. It has whitened the cars and my deck.

Looks like those 2 bands have been above you and below you and you were in the middle most of the night. Watching that one to west now trying to drift back your way.

Crazy! Zero here in Bostic. I did see some flying just now.

@CoastalWx I updated all the maps for April Fools '97 as well as added a new Lower Northeast view map with all the climate sites on it. I also added that radar loop from BOX you posted in the other thread for this storm, and i sped it up a bit. Also refreshed all the maps for the March 3-4th, 2019 and December 1-3rd, 2019 storms + added the northeast maps for those as well. I think that Dec 2019 is one of the craziest looking maps i've ever done, quite a gradient and really cool to see that bending of higher snow totals towards the CTRV/91 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/apr-1-1997 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/mar-3-4-2019 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/dec-1-3-2019

Looking at that radar someone between Morganton to Lenoir to Hickory is going to overachieve tonight!

I was torn between this song and "Working On It" by Chris Rea!

Love that whole album!! Made me laugh out loud as far as the wx is concerned.

I was listening to that Bobby Brown record the other day. So much great music back then.

Yes, talk to him in the third person! CoastalWx gets what CoastalWx likes, ALL HAIL WINTER!!!!

The light snow has picked up here a little bit. The bare spots where the snow had melted today are now covered again in snow, not a huge amount, but enough to turn the ground white...

Solid coating here in Newton too, shady spots on the road are white, slushy build up on the cars. 31.6

Solid coating in Forest City. Looks like about 0.5 inch in Sandy Mush.

Montauk ground zero. Congratulations to all of the 4,000 residents.

Damn I am itching for an Ice Jebwalk out there lol. Reprise of the Infamous Potomac Mills Ice Jebwalk of 2004.

Mod snow. Chicken feathers.
