Catskills to up around Albany will be crushed.
For the city 1-3, 3-6 for the suburbs, 6-12 Hudson Valley to interior CT
Somewhere will get more if they get under good banding
I can't remember ever really seeing a storm like this in terms of the stalling low and the 30+ consecutive hours of precip so that part is a real wildcard. My hunch is if the snow is heavy temps will fall below freezing but if it stays light it will stay above freezing and not accumulate in the city.
It's not as warm as people think, outside of the GFS the freezing line is dangling just north of the city on a lot of models. I wouldn't expect snow but sleet or at least mixing with sleet could hang on longer than expected.
Honestly looks about the same as every other GFS run. The models have been pretty consistent now for the past day, this is an interior storm, it will snow on the coast but much accumulation can not be expected.
Well said, agree. There is a reason the watches are up for the places they are up for and nothing for the city. There is high confidence of significant snow in these areas but the city could be 1 inch or could be a miracle but it's so dependent on the randomness of a CCB band.
A few models (CMC, NAM) don't have plain rain making it past Southern Westchester/Immediate CT Coast. They may be too cold but there is a decent chance that places even 30-35 miles from the city can stay mainly frozen with this.
In this case what is the ideal scenario in terms of where want the secondary to get going and be at it's strongest, honestly the secondary has me a bit confused in this particular setup
Yea I'm not saying it will be anything like that event, all I was saying was I wouldn't write off picking up a quick inch or two especially for Northern parts of the city/North Shore of LI, some models are hinting at precip coming in like a wall
It may start as snow if the initial dynamics are strong enough. I'm not saying it's going to be anything like November 2018 but I also wouldn't completely write off that first burst as nothing.
Agree there will absolutely without any real doubt be a period between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning where temps go above freezing at all levels and possibly well above freezing (referring to coastal areas)
