    Example of ensembles Passaic mainstream at Pine Brook with the 1" rain raising the river stage even higher this weekend,

    So, Some customers in NJ, PA, NYS: power, I can see problems for a few customers having no power into next Monday the 15th, because of renewed power outages Fri night, and the weekend west winds will be 5-10 MPH more blustery than what we see today (near 40 MPH) gusts here and there today.

    This continues more or less as outlined with small variations and generally less rain but that rain pushes some of the mainstream rivers into potentially higher stages. another nighttime potent event.

    Mon-Tue: not threading til 6P, if then. I'm pretty sure we'll have light-moderate event that will include snow/ice I84 corridor, possibly down to I95 with LI problematic and for now mostly wet there with only a touch of snow sleet. EPS backed off slightly and the GEFS-CMCE dont want to increase snow accum and the NAEFS is east of us. So, best to wait through at least the 12z/10 cycle, possibly beyond. Also looking at Jan 18-20 and Jan 24 for a possibly colder snowier event-again light to moderate but NYC/LI confidence on 1"+ snow is uncertain and NAEFS again too our south and east with the qpf on both, for now. Just have to wait and ride out this Friday night-Sat and cleanup some debris both from this one today and then again this weekend.

    Well, I was worried, LI wouldn't produce decent wind but it did. Since about 1AM the following gusts 50 knots. KFRG: Farmingdale, Republic Airport, NY, United States [51kt, 26m/s] KHWV: Shirley, Brookhaven Airport, NY, United States [55kt, 28m/s] KISP: Islip, Long Island Mac Arthur Airport, NY, United States [50kt, 26m/s] I'll await OKX max gust report when they get settled and have enough staff to generate it.

    NJ 42,000 meters out and climbing pretty fast... Here's a map.

    I agree...same in Wantage...power flickering and Sussex Rural has outages Lake Pochung and Highland Lakes. Rough storm. Anyone using radar scope... I think the DIXstorm total that I saw at 830PM looks very good when comparing with NJ climate rainfall for NJ. Big boy event. Keep yourself calm as things go downhill,

    Total QPF finding nice max axis fro Hunterdon-Morris-Passaic counties.

    You should know 51 KT has just occurred at ILG and I think 52kt se PA ...both coinciding with recent power outage increases in those areas as seen on the power outage map. I'll post as my overnight ambulance driver coverage permits.

    The only reason now no new 16th MDT impact snow rain thread is on -going thread now, then another serious event thread Fri night. I'll start this thread tomorrow morning 10AM if we have power, which I expect we will here in nw NJ. I checked rolling 24 hour positive snow depth change and the CMCE/GEFS both have it, an inch less than the consistent EPS but a day FASTER...15th. Attached EPS 00z and 12z cycles: 24 hr +snow depth change, ending 06z/17

    One comment on CF... timing is everything with the high tide cycle. Next storm Fri night-Sat AM is seemingly modeled to be worse than what occurs tomorrow morning.
  12. wdrag
    Dunkirk NY 64 Kt. Latrobe PA 57 kt. Erie 55kT. Power outages at 2PM.
  13. wdrag
    Agree 100%. This is a time one voice,. Dissent won't be in anyone favor. Prepare to mitigate if the power goes out or you develop roof leaks-cellar flooding or live next to a flooded waterway.

    Now Oregon less than 10,000 meters out. but the idea above holds.
  15. wdrag
    One of the problems with this storm... damage so widespread that support crews are needed not in only in one concentrated area but spread out. At least 10,000 meters out in each of the states of WA/OR, then from Texas-KS east with over 100,000 meters out in FL and I think fairly extensive power outages headed for western NYS and up the USA east coast. Hoping we luck out here in slightly c cooler nw NJ. But ridges in the Poconos might get surprise big burst early tonight.

    Wantage NJ light rain-sleet 0.4" total snow sleet at 1250PM. HRRRX wind guidance. 60 kt is modeled for LI...the 50-60 KT NJT, not sure what that is but it could be a squall line damaging puff.

    Suggest taking wind seriously from Cape May NJ to JFK eastward with 45-55 MPH NYC, but Cape May to southern LI 60 MPH + likely. best time s NJ near 7PM up to NYC -LI mid-3A. I think precautions are wise. I just posted the MINIMUM gust potential from an 8 member SPC High Res model. Its imperfect. I dont want to look at the worst but 75 MPH is not impossible on LI. Minimum: Purple is 60, dark brown 55, ;light brown 50 and this is a snapshot of wind gusts near 1AM. The HRRR and SPC HREF gin gusts tend to be used. by firewater folks. High res data. Within 24 hours...need to pay attention. to this guidance.

    MT Pocono 1" new snow. Power outages s central pa related to 5-6" new wet snow there. 90 MPH wind gusts ridges. here's a sampler.
  20. wdrag
    Albany GA 61 KYT, Dunkirk NY on L Erie 55 kt.
  21. wdrag
    Wantage NJ. This lower elevation part 0.3” snow. Now sleet snow mix. All treated surfaces wet but home pavements etc snow covered and 31F
  22. wdrag
    1 mile S- 31f. Pave wet in Wantage 740’ msl

    I've seen multiple member concerns about too early... will hold off til 12z/10 cycle completes tomorrow (unless exceedingly convincing Positive snow depth consensus on 12z cycle.. I completely understand hugger or Apps track for the 16th...and too many threads. I'll wait but modeling gets pretty good out to D10 on big ones. This dual storm thread started 12/31... open ended allowing possibilities on events and improve toward T0. Renewed flooding is again a possibility for I95 next Tuesday if it doesn't snow (presuming tonights event 2+" and Friday night 1" events occur occur NNJ basins. 00z/10 NAEFS response is so far east at D7-8 that it will have to edge west for a snowstorm ne USA. I somehow dont see this as a Great Lakes cutter--- more of a positive tilt trough. Even today its going to snow-sleet I84-nw NJ. Thursday is going to be interesting NYS lee of Lakes-pretty good short wave. Then that Friday night storm I think will end up east of current track with snow ice I84 to start. I will wait
  24. wdrag
    NAEFS check is only 2 tenths of an inch along the coast and more OTS for the 16th-17th. That is caution to the wind for me as well. I need to wait for the 12z cycle before threading.
  25. wdrag
    Agreed... I think if you permit, when I probably thread this later today, I'd like to use your graphic and comment as well as mine to set this up. Modeling can still be off quite a bit but it's improving on large scale events 7-10 days in advance. Just let me know.
