The models are getting more aggressive with the SE ridge and western trough/-PNA as we move closer in time thanks to the MJO event Dr. Ventrice spoke of. Also still a very strong SPV, ++NAO/++AO to boot
-
And the models continue to get more aggressive with the midlevel warm nose. Good luck getting a snowstorm south of I-84 with those midlevel low tracks. Enjoy the ping fest to freezing rain/rain
-
This didn’t age well….https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=hrdps®ion=neus&pkg=asnow&runtime=2022022406&fh=48
-
That warm tongue is almost certainly being under modeled right now, as is typical. I can easily see this event start as sleet instead of snow and go over to all rain south of I-84
-
That forecast will change :-)
-
Don’t worry, given the setup this will certainly continue to bump north right up until tomorrow afternoon. Would not be at all surprised to see the NAM being the closest to reality
-
Maybe it’ll make for a chilly, rainy end of March lol Spring is coming
-
This is working out exactly as it looked days ago…..a non event for snow and big ping fest going to all rain south of I-84. The GFS is trash, too cold as usual, I think the ICON is actually better. The NAM is the way to go. This one is going to continue to trend north and warmer in the midlevels right up until tomorrow afternoon
-
Yes they do, that is not snow on that Ukie map, it’s grossly overdone, counting sleet as snow. I suspect the new Euro comes in warmer given what it did at 6z. Nothing at all has changed since yesterday, it is still a non event for snow south of I-84. It’s a ping-fest at best south of 84
-
Yea, not sure why some think that pattern looks so great…..yea, there’s the -EPO but you also have ++NAO, ++AO and -PNA. The SPV is still projected to be raging strong as well, so those teleconnection forecasts showing an AO drop around mid-March are very suspect. And, it’s going to be into mid-March at that point. Yawn…..
-
Unmmmm no the Ukie didn’t show that. Before you post, get your facts straight, those Ukie “snow” maps count sleet as snow and are therefore overdone
-
It doesn’t look colder in the midlevels, they are torched, that’s why it barely has any snow at all south of I-84
-
Agreed here. The GFS is still the cold outlier. That model is just a really horrible anymore. None of the other models, RGEM, CMC, NAM, UKMET, ICON, Euro/EPS look anything like it. There’s a reason why it’s ranked at #4
-
His wishes, hopes and prayers. I don’t know why he’s persistently trying to wishcast this into a NYC metro area snowstorm. It’s not happening
-
Look at the soundings, that is definitely not snow south of I-84, it’s sleet at best with that midlevel warm nose and almost all of the time those warm noses are badly underestimated not overdone by the models
-
There’s virtually no snow at all on that south of I-84. The midlevels are completely torched and fast. The midlevel low tracks are awful
-
That’s not how it works
-
Once you get to 3/15, it takes a completely anomalous, fluke event to get a major snowstorm in the metro area, can a freak major event happen? Yes, but you will really be fighting climo, length of day and sun angle. By the time you get to late March, you have an August sun overhead
-
When you have no -NAO block, these setups trend more north and warmer in the midlevels as you get up to the event. The models usually grossly underestimate the midlevel warm punch in these setups until right before it starts and even then they can miss it. This is a classic I-84 and north snow event….there will likely be very little snow south of I-84
-
The GFS should have this storm figured out sometime Saturday afternoon, once again, it’s a huge outlier at 12z, that model is laughably horrible
-
Agreed. This has I-84 snow special written all over it. No -NAO block and it’s just going to continue to trend north as we get closer. I don’t see much of a front end thump either, there is going to be a very strong midlevel warm punch….which the models almost always underestimate badly. I really don’t think there’s going to be much snow south of I-84. And as far as the GFS goes, it’s pathetic. It’s been abysmal to the point of comedy for months now
-
Looks like I’ll be in shorts and short sleeves again….
-
The GFS has decided that it’s going to be Casey Jones and go down with the runaway train. No other model shows anything close to what it’s doing for Friday
-
The Euro completely torches the midlevels before the precip even starts
-
100% The GFS is in a world all to its own. When no other models show what it is showing, something is wrong. In that setup, it’s only going to trend more north as we get closer
