The pattern looks too good not to cash in. We would really have to be unlucky to not get anything. I see overrunning potential into early Feb as well as the cold air will be tough to scour out.
-
Agreed Monday never really looked like snow even several days out. I figured the high placement was totally off. Ocean storm wasn't a real threat either. The real disappointments are the storm that consistently show snow only to fail 1-2 days out.

Monitoring a potential important TV to East Coastal storm: Jan 17
SnoSki14 replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
What a beast of a storm though. Hurricane force gusts? -
The full phasing is apparent and it's causing it to rapidly intensify as it tugs west. Could be one hell of coastal/wind storm

You'd have to be extremely unlucky not to score something.

It's not the snowstorm people want but should be a notable event nonetheless. In fact a more phased, western storm would result in a better pattern for the next storm. Heights are trending higher in NAO region.

Models are showing stronger phasing as we get closer which leads to a stronger storm getting tugged further west. It could be one of those rare times where winds are under forecast and HWW verify.

I see a few opportunities for snow before things change. Maybe the 20/21st then 24-26th and likely Jan 30-Feb 3 period.

It's a gift and a curse. The right storm could go batshit crazy and drop widespread 30-40"+ totals eventually. That's still possible next 2 weeks as pattern remains favorable. -
Absolutely and there's not much to stop this from doing so.

Those words are forbidden -
We'll have to see if that ramps up as we get closer.

Yes hopefully. Nothing worse than cold/dry. I'd rather it be 60-70F if that's the case.

I think we'll see snow events develop out of nowhere with short lead times like 13/14
-
We're gonna rip strong winds well inland with this track. I could see widespread 60mph winds if temps can get into the 50s.

Yeah this should be interesting. The strength & track, gradient & timing around Full Moon should at least produce a significant wind/coastal flooding event.

That look above is why there are better opportunities after Monday's storm.
-
Well at least the GFS wasn't worse. I did like that it had more confluence ahead of it but the vortex was also a little slower this run so it cancelled out. That track would bring some serious wind ahead of it though.

The Icon def looks east. Nice snows on the front end and surface temps never get much above freezing. That's probably the best scenario for us. Front end dump followed by dry slot.

That's interesting give how amped they tend to be. -
The current pattern is not all that favorable for a snow event but it does get a lot better after the 20th. So don't fret if this doesn't work out. There will be plenty more chances. EPS/GEFS looks favorable into February.

It's a thread the needle event for sure. The placement/movement of the high ahead of it isn't great. But a storm cutting through the Appalachians is also unusual. I'm a bit more optimistic today than yesterday but we'll see.

He's completely wrong about every storm trending north west as well. The ocean storm never trended west, our last snow event never trended west. The southern NJ storm never trended north. Everything will come down to the speed of the southern vortex. If it's ejected east faster than the phase will occur later. The lack of a true block hurts but the ocean storm still helps create some confluence ahead of Monday's system. But if I had to guess I would put the chances at an early phase/cutter 70% and a GEFS outcome at 30% right now. I need to see the 12z runs speed up that southern vortex or it's game over. Fast flow has been the theme lately and without a strong +PNA to slow down the flow I'd be surprised if models didn't speed up the southern stream low

I don't think it would be a brush. The phasing could just be delayed if the southern wave moves east faster. And I do think models are too slow with the southern stream. Progressive flow pattern has been the game last several years. So it's not over just yet Gfs def speeding up southern wave last few runs as well -
I think the only way the outcome changes is if models are incorrect in holding back the energy around day 3 when the storm is in Arkansas. If the storm ends up being more progressive then it'll end up further east. The west pull into central PA is the result of a complete phase with northern stream. If this phase is delayed due to the southern vortex moving east faster then the track will most likely be offshore or a coastal hugger. Note Euro tends to be hold back things too much so its amped up track wasn't surprising. The GEFS were def interesting.
