Here are the actual total precip/snowfall maps for the 18z 3km NAM. The ones posted earlier were premature as the precip was still ongoing for eastern areas.
Yeah not a clipper. Nice timing with the upper level features. The region is gonna be under the left exit region of the jet streak with PVA as the shortwave approaches. With cold air in place, perfect for a quick shot of moderate to heavy snow.
Euro always seems to do something wonky at this timeframe. Ask the NE crew a couple days ago when they were all jumping off the ledge. It had next to nothing in your yard and like 3" here for a run lol.
Yes, looking forward to yet another beach chase.
At least we can get some legit cold in a Nina at times. The typical 'domestic' cold in a Nino doesn't seem to work so much anymore. Once again we see LR guidance advertise the epic sustained NA block in conjunction with an amped -EPO with cross polar flow, and as usual it's a unicorn.
The blend suggesting 1-2 the last couple runs. Seems reasonable. This is a fairly moisture starved fast mover, and not very cold either. Boom is probably 3 in the lowlands.
Go ahead and pass lol. I'm way good with that outcome. Never kick a few inches of snow out of bed, even if it only lasts a few mins.
Better than more rain, or sunny and 55. We have 6 months of summer on the doorstep.
That is a tenuous way to get a legit block. Transient -NAO, sure. Guidance did indicate a retrograding Scandi ridge for a time, which is a path to a legit, sustained NA block. Clearly that idea was wrong though.
