OBS and nowcast Thursday morning 2/18 - 11PM Friday 2/19/21

Very unimpressed. Lift is weak I don't see how we get more than some snow showers. -
Feb 18-19 long duration manageable snow and ice event

I wouldn't bet on it. -
It's been showing that for a while and always backed off.

Well I'm ready for winter to end now, it's been a good run. Very close to 40" with nearly 3 weeks of snow cover. This after extremely low expectations this year. Not discounting another snow event before everything completely wraps up but given tellies, MJO it looks very unlikely.

If there's no 2nd part to this then we'll probably muster 4" which is a bit disappointing but I'll take it. -

It looks like we're about to mix soon. -

The sleet shouldn't be racing north given the cutoff to the snows is over extreme NW Jersey, which indicates a strong cold high press. At least not during heavier precip rates. Ultimately the area just north of the main mixing line will jackpot. Probably localized 10" totals. -

We should get 2-3 hours of mod-heavy snows before sleet fully mixes in. -

Probably some subsidence after the strong band rolled through. The main area of sleet is now building in SW NJ. Just north of the sleet will be where the heaviest snow falls. -

Yeah snowfall rates are really crappy right now. -

Getting heavier with larger flakes now. 25F -

Assuming those returns in east PA/west NJ are all snow we're about to get smoked here in Somerset. -

Looks like it backed off on the coastal but I don't think we'd complain if 8-10" fell. Still worried about sleet. Will be fighting it later on. -
Not necessarily. It's not unusual for warmer mid-level air to get further north than expected...in fact it should be expected at this point.

Do you have the link to monitor where sleet is. -
Feb 18-19 long duration manageable snow and ice event
SnoSki14 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
It'll be fine. A general 4-6" is likely with higher amounts possible. -

In almost every instance there's been last second north shifts so I wouldn't be surprised to see one here. -

I think that'll be the case. If the precip is heavier it'll be snow, lighter & more sleet though the first 4-5 hours should be all snow. I do think the heaviest snows will be a bit north of where models show as is nearly always the case. -
Could go either way. You could torch like today's Euro shows or have a large cold spell like the gfs shows. Pure guessing games after day 4-5. Tellies would strongly favor the milder scenario though and that's what I think will happen but def can't rule out a March snowstorm.

It's a front end thump followed by some snow on Friday. Thump is good up to NYC. I think the forecast is pretty cut & dry. Don't model hug too much or you'll get burnt like with the last 5-8" storm on Superbowl Sunday. 6-8" looks good from combined parts. -

6-8" looking good right now. Surface temps will be very cold (low to mid 20s). I could see some places nearing 10" but that's highly dependent on mixing. There will likely be a few hours of 2-3"+ hourly rates though. -

6" with this system will be much more impactful than the previous one that hit Sunday. Very cold temps likely with this one which will accumulate on roadways and the worst will be during commute times. -

The WAA snows should easily get into central NJ and probably NYC Thursday morning & afternoon. Snow growth should be very good with temps probably in the low to mid 20s. Ratios could be higher than 10:1 and that alone could drop 4-6" over 3-6hrs. Increasingly models are indicating a coastal element which bears watching. So my initial thoughts are 3-6" from WAA snows up to NYC then a dry slot or sleet followed by another round of snow on Friday. How much falls with that is unknown and models are still trending.
