Yea for NYC to jackpot the cape and Atlantic City and maybe Eastern LI would probably need to at least have some mixing. Don't necessarily need a jackpot but thats the reality.
Be careful what we wish for. I'm not going to pretend I am not still hoping for a west trend to bring in the 20+ inch totals but also know that too far west and we mix so it's a delicate line.
Yea you can see the southwest bend in the precip tilt a lot further south this run, I'd imagine that would bend even further SW if the low bombed out faster.
Agree I like the general a significant coastal storm is possible take at this point. It's hard to not get excited but I know this could trend the other way still.
Agree, the Euro is probably exactly where you want it 5 days out which is the best snows a little east of NYC knowing storms are more likely to trend west than east.
I wouldn't worry about verbatim at this point. We have 3 major models now showing a strong low offshore throwing back at least 6 inches of snow to the metro area. Can't ask for a better 12z suite at this point.
The ocean is very dynamic and warm. Storms have been overperforming all winter in terms of QPF. A storm like this could easily dump 2 feet in under 24 hours.
Honestly being in the jackpot zone with rain just to the SE is not an ideal spot this far out. I would favor the interior at this point but who knows with this winter it could either way.
