also there is no way Long Island wouldn't see several inches of snow on the front end in that setup .

Sometimes they can make a good run up then shift east hard. It’s probably what’ll happen. It just won’t get was far north and west as the RGEM and some ensembles show

The GFS has come a long way. Although I believe it’s too far SE and it’s not grasping upper or mid dynamics and hence QPF it was always reasonably close to other global guidance from 5-6-7 days out. As recently as 5 years ago that never would have happened -
The RGEM is likely too far west but that tells us the GGEM will probably be close to the same idea. The RGEM usually at this range portends what the GGEM will show

Those ptype maps really make no sense. Chances are you would have sleet near NYC in that setup

Sometimes you almost just have to go with history on these things if you look at the EPS/NAM solution it would indicate New York City goes snow-rain-snow. When have we ever seen a storm with this type of set up do that in New York City? Either they stay all snow or they go snow to rain and stay rain and does anyone think that this could stay far enough west where they flipped to rain and that’s it? I just don’t see it given the pattern so I’m leaning in the direction of something splitting the difference of the GEFS EPS. I feel confident both models are too far west and east respectively -
The NAM has really been consistent with this. I thought the Euro idea might verify due to the vort energy near Toronto preventing this from getting too far NW but the jet activity is favorable for more precipitation to break out on the NW side of the system so the NAM idea could be right
-
The NAM solution doesn’t make a whole lot of sense nor does many of the Euro members solely because systems evolving in such a pattern like this have never gone snow-mix or rain-snow at the coast. At least nothing that I can remember in the last 30-40 years. This is why more likely than not either this is going to split the difference between the EPS/NAM and GEFS idea or it’s going to continue ticking further NW

Technically the Euro is going to get tomorrow correct it seems while other models were too far NW so it won’t be consecutive misses if it ends up too far NW Wednesday and Thursday -

Yeah it finally joined the party. The RGEM tried to as well but didn’t get there -
UKMET caved a bit tonight as did the RGEM. Both had been total misses til tonight
-
The scary thing is this is replacing the NAM eventually and running out to 60. Nor sure when but certainly within next 3-4 years

It’s damn tough to get a major snow event within 20 miles of the coast in NJ this early in the year barring a perfect setup. A 030-040 wind there is off 50 degree water. Even for JFK it’s a night and day difference as the same wind for them is primarily off land outside of a brief trek over LI sound -
Well that would be more than all winter last year for some

That shocked me since it seems they almost always move together. I've said for awhile you really need to dig into the GFS ensembles to find anything of use as the mean usually never skews a ton from the Op

The GEFS follow the Op most of the time. I would not have expected a marked difference. They really go lock step unlike the EPS and Op Euro
-
Western ridge/+PNA was weaker. Bluewave in the NYC forum has been mentioning this as a possible way this can fail for us on south and near coastal areas.

SnowGoose69 replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
I don't think much from there. Keep in mind the ptype on the GFS for you is probably wrong. Many places would hold the ageo component there and not flip on that track. Some are playing that if the PNA weakens this cuts more. I don't think there is much room for that. My hunch is if this ends up being warmer/west than this its probably because the system got delayed 18-24 hours allowing the high to further slip east -
NYC would probably stay all snow if that track verified to a T. The GFS won't see the CAD or ageo impact in that event. Probably would hold winds 040-050 in that setup and never flip

Its actually less amped than the Op for Monday it seems. I feel that has to be impacting the Wednesday result

SnowGoose69 replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
I am somewhat wary of Monday being flat because the WRN NATL setup. Those sort of systems in recent winters when we have the upper air pattern we have in place Sun-Mon have almost always been west/amped of what the 48-60 hour guidance has suggested. The CMC has been running somewhat well lately though. -

SnowGoose69 replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
The EPS does not like that event either. The CMC has been pretty consistent in saying that one is a dud. The Euro joined it the last 2 runs. A weaker Monday is probably better for SNE Wednesday...well at least for places that are not SE -
Yeah I got it just now. Its really flat. The CMC/Euro oddly enough are in best agreement Monday. At this range thats somewhat unusual
-
What does the EPS have for Monday? Remember the Op was flat as hell, next flattest compared to the GGEM. If the EPS agrees on Monday there may be some merit to a crappier solution Wednesday as has been said often the last 24 hours.

If the Euro is correct on starting to flatten the Monday wave its more likely the Wednesday one could be issues for places in the MA. The tendency for days has been ensemble members and Op runs which are flat Monday are more tucked Wednesday or warmer
