HRRR 3km aligns has modeled relative highest snow totals running from NW Chester County over to Central NJ

Based on latest SREF potential for 3" or more highest probabilities run across much of NW Chester County - Montgomery County and over to Central NJ. With a pretty quick reduction in % chances as you get up to the Lehigh Valley and over to NW NJ

Temperatures have started to rebound across the area with clouds on the increase after a low of 14 degrees at 330 this morning. A cloudy day today with temps remaining below freezing across most of Chester County for the 4th consecutive. The below freezing streak looks to continue across the area until Monday at the earliest. Light snow should arrive toward daybreak tomorrow and continue much of the day tomorrow. Snow totals should range from 2" to 4" across SW Chester County to 3" to 5" as we move NE through Chester County and into Montgomery and Bucks counties. We could see a little blowing and drifting snow later Friday night into Saturday and temps will struggle to get much above the teens with wind chills near or below zero. A warming trend gets underway next week as we get our January Thaw. Records for today: High 66 (1973) / Low 4 below (1994) / Rain 1.15" (1915) / Snow 6.0" (1930)

agreed! That's why I like the 3k more than the 12k NAM

NBM creeping up though...

3km NAM says it's 12km brother has been drinking....let's cut those figures in half!!

NBM

18z ICON

18z Euro

18z GFS

Found this Norlun in the area from 2016. Here in East Nantmeal we ended with 7.3" - long duration event with the heavy period of snow falling in the late afternoon of February 9th

Some Chesco climate data for today

Solid thoughts IMO thanks Kevin!

I suspect this one will impact folks further south and east from the Lehigh Valley with the relative higher amounts....that said the ratios will be good so should not take a lot of precip to get us to similar snow totals to the last storm for most locales...

18z NAM looks very close to what is in the current NWS Forecast with a little less snow north and west and the focus of snows ( IVT?) over the I95 corridor.

Updated NWS Point and Click have 1.5" to 2.5" for most of Eastern PA from Allentown down through most of the Philly burbs with up to 3" possible over toward Phily - seems not buying what above Hrrr is selling...

One of my favorites professionals is Bernie Rayno....he sees a general 1" to 3" across our area with the highest totals from DC to Baltimore over to Atlantic City (3" to 6" with maybe 8")

A little Norlun Trough action on this run tries to jackpot some areas across the area....so tough to nail those down

This morning's lows were the coldest since December 24, 2022 when we recorded 2.8 above here in East Nantmeal. Some area lows this AM. East Nantmeal (7.9) / Warwick Twp (7.4) / Kennett Square (9.1) / Lionville (10.9) / Elverson (10.6) / Chester Springs (11.0). It will be sunny but cold today with most spots struggling to reach the low to mid 20's. Clouds return tomorrow but dry and we will approach but likely not pass freezing in most areas. Snow chances increase again likely right after the AM rush on Friday into Friday night. Saturday looks to be the coldest day so far this season with temperatures not much above 20 degrees for afternoon highs. Records for today: High 65 (1973) / Low 13 below (1982) / Rain 1.83" (1994) / Snow 6.0" (1978)

The NBM really did the best job IMO....it is usually more conservative but likely not a bad starting point

Continues to snow lightly here in East Nantmeal have picked up some minor additional accumulations from the snow and earlier sleet. Will do the final measure when the precip stops. Looks like I will need to go back out and shovel or sweep again...
