    Yes and no. It will try to tuck in and hug the coast until it can’t anymore with the blocking. That’s really key- if it tucks into around Cape May or DE coast and then goes east we’re all fine. If that doesn’t happen until it’s near or past Atlantic City, we start to have problems near the coast.

    The confluence will cause the low to have to go east after a certain point, but the low itself will want to cut north as much as it can. Confluence does look good, so to me if I had to guess it would cause the turn east in time for us, but I can see how especially with confluence being a little less it cuts into NJ in which case we would mix from the city east. We also don't want the stronger S/W like others have said, that just means it tries to amplify more. This NAM run looks a little better verbatim than 6z but the 700/850 low tracks aren't ideal. 850 low tracks maybe 30 miles SE of LI and the 700 low tracks over E PA into CT. That would mean warm air aloft can make it north for many of us near the coast for a time and the dryslot comes into play. The 700/850 lows should be going SE of you if you want to avoid issues.

    It’ll definitely be cold and I think everyone gets pounded for a while regardless of the track because of the cold to start but if we want to avoid the dryslot and mix issues eventually we want the 700 and 850 lows to go SE of us. The more amped models have those pretty close by which introduce mixing chances. This will only be able to get so far north anyway because of the blocking setup and 50-50 low, eventually it will have to get shunted out.

    RGEM is absolute beauty for this area, but 6z NAM and Euro looked more amped. We really don't want that getting out of hand-this needs to start making a beeline east once it gets to around Cape May.
  5. jm1220
    Yes-we want to keep an eye on where the mid level lows track. We definitely want the 700/850 lows to track SE of us.

    Yeah, this won't be a big one by any means but having the ground be white from this would be a win. And hopefully it can help out for Wednesday by assisting to make confluence.

    Thanks! This should easily be the best event since winter 17-18 anyway. Still kinks to be worked out but this is definitely a favorable setup for something quite significant, like you say 6-12" or maybe even more in some places that get stuck under banding.

    I think Cape May is our limit for near the coast-it tucks further and we mix/rain for a time.
  9. jm1220
    If I see a period of wet snow that accumulates at all tomorrow I’ll call that a win. Very marginal setup.

    It's going to try for the tuck, question is where it stops. Confluence somewhere shunts it out. Hopefully it happens in time. But yeah, verbatim a monster.
  11. jm1220
    The tuck determines love and hate. It gets north of Cape May I get nervous for NYC and east.
  12. jm1220
    SNE and the inland thread might be bigger fans of this run. Mon system weak, this one tucks north to where? Borderline maybe NYC east for a time.

    WAY!!! too long to go before some ridiculous.... what's wrong with you? Seriously.

    This one makes the turn way further north, for my backyard personally hopefully not north of Cape May.
  18. jm1220
    Definitely not but I see the same sharp northern edge somewhere.
  19. jm1220
    Hopefully this somehow can crush the entire sub forum, even the more suppressed runs do spread snow pretty far north. But a system like this will have a nasty cutoff somewhere-Albany area, I-84, somewhere. Confluence means dry air and sharp cutoff.
  20. jm1220
    We learned the really hard way on 2/6/10 how hard east the turn can be in confluence. At some point that will come, could be when this cuts into NJ and you’ll bonanza when I rain, or it’ll be like the GFS now says. I think that happens somewhere though, unless the confluence weakens. It’s a really potent trough and shortwave which means this will try to cut and may try to head almost due north, but there will be the brick confluence wall somewhere.
  21. jm1220
    The confluence and how it can force this south is the story to me. Still a ways to go. Please cut out the “this run sucks” posts, they’ll be deleted.
  22. jm1220
    The more amped with this the better.
  23. jm1220
    I would be very careful using GFS surface temps but yes this would be quite marginal. I think there is a zone somewhere in S PA, inland NJ that can get 3-5 quick inches.
  24. jm1220
    I can’t think of a storm that ever worked out from here on south where the low cut into NJ. The low I think can only cut to around Cape May then has to make a beeline east to keep it snow even to around NYC. I think this is gonna want to cut, we need the confluence big time. Maybe I’m being a “Debbie” as you guys say but can’t discount something like the 18z GFS or a scenario where the confluence weakens or the PNA gets less cooperative.

    I think about 10” altogether from the primary. I didn’t live there until 2005 but I remember from reading reports. I remember when I went to PSU getting shafted constantly with the coastal tracks or inland runners during the Nina years like 07-08, hopefully there’s a way it can really work out there and here as well. They might not even be on the board yet for snow in State College or if they are it’s been very little.
