Hopefully this is as amped as it gets and others don't make a big leap NW. 3k NAM was even more amped and brings a dryslot in. This winter you can never rule it out.
NAM is still good for the coast but you definitely don't want it amped anymore without it becoming an inland focused event and a chunk of it being rain or a dryslot from the city east. The mid level lows all trended about 50 miles NW from last run.
I think we’re setting the goal posts. Euro might be the east goal post and RGEM west? It probably ends up closer to the west goal post but I’d think this is fast moving enough and sampled well enough by now for no more major changes.
Most TV Mets are just lousy. They were way underdone east of the city on the last storm until the morning of and even then we were on the top end of the ranges if not higher. Upton was generally overdone but was better. There are some exceptions like Craig Allen but not many. I’m sure by 5pm those will be upped and we might be under a watch anyway.
In this case the 700 low is taking a great track for coastal areas. I haven’t looked at maps/soundings for where the max lift is but if it’s in the -12 to -18c layer that’s the best for high ratios.
What’s the Cobb method based on? I don’t see anyone getting 16” from a fast mover like this. Maybe someone gets 10-12” in one of the heavy bands. It would be a general 6-10” type deal otherwise.
I'm fairly confident here we have a few inches to rebuild/freshen the snow pack but hopefully it can be more. You need something quite amped in this setup to get it well NW of the city but the NAM would get it done.
Looking pretty strongly like this will be a hit in some way for most of us. Coast is favored this time but models like the Nam spread the fun well inland too.
Yes it's a southern stream wave, but embedded in a fast pattern and not slowing down/amplifying too much. NAM would be the best outcome obviously but at this range it can be too amped. Hopefully others trend NW again at 18z/0z.
