    Nice improvement.

    Good that the 1-3” sweet spot outcome looks most likely now for all. It’ll be like a HECS considering that for some there hasn’t been any real snow event since Jan 2022. And it should stick around for a while since cold air is coming behind the storm.

    If the low trends amped it would turn the wind direction easterly and we don’t have a source to reinforce the cold air quite yet, that comes in earnest behind the storm. That’s why these amped models have light rain near the city. Hopefully we can find the middle ground that keeps it further offshore and a light snow event.

    Don’t be surprised if this trends to crap again for the city east since we normally have these storms trend NW at the end and the SE ridge isn’t modeled too well and often gets stronger closer into the event. And the cold air is really for after this event, not going into it. If we get prolonged easterly wind again near the coast we’re screwed.

    I hope you’re right but a stronger storm will probably trend NW and warm us up near the coast and it would be more mix/rain. The ceiling near the city is probably 2-3” before the system becomes too strong and brings warm air in. There’s really nothing to stop that from happening from amping too much. Of course inland in the same places where it snowed recently wouldn’t have this issue. I hope the 2-3” does happen but we have the same problem we’ve been having with a warm ocean east of us that will ruin whatever cold air we have previous on an easterly wind.

    In mid January? LOL.

    1-3” will still be a really nice event compared to what we’ve had and that’s what the ensemble means show but it seems that if it gets more amped and therefore stronger, it will introduce more warm air. Hopefully I’m wrong but that’s what the setup seems to favor. I’m totally fine with the 1-3” and hopefully it works out with cold air coming in behind it, and something stronger can set up for 1/20 before we switch to mild again.

    It’s looking to me like there’s a pretty low ceiling for us city and east-either a weak snow event or a stronger snow to rain or mostly rain event. Nothing to really force a SE track if it does get stronger so if it strengthens beyond a 1-3” type event it would be more NW and rain here because it amps too much.

    Very dicey in parts of Oceanside/Island Park. Some side streets closed and main roads have a lot of water. W Park Ave in Long Beach also closed.

    We can definitely catch up in a hurry if the pieces can finally align. Hopefully the window opens up. In 2020-21 some had over 3 feet in 3 weeks and this strong Nino has no lack of storms obviously.

    It seems to only have this suppressed issue for North America. I’m sure studies were done prior to releasing the upgrade where it scored better elsewhere in the world, or scored better in other aspects of the model’s performance to justify upgrading it. I guess a future upgrade would look at any issues with too suppressed here and fix it. But I’m definitely no expert in the tremendous work that goes into these things.

    Whether you want to read it or not (put him on Ignore if you don’t want to read it), he hasn’t been wrong. He might be right for the wrong reason and he picks too many fights but there is some analysis/reasoning behind what he says.

    All the storms over the last 10-15 years knocked all the weak trees down. In Long Beach, all number of powerful storms especially Sandy knocked every tall tree down and everything is new or smaller, and some of those were knocked over but those thankfully don’t topple the power lines with them. As for Friday it looks like a weaker version of yesterday’s storm but of course any rain is beyond unwelcome and will raise the river levels again just as they recede from crest. This is the stormiest winter I can remember so far which you would expect in a strong Nino but it seems especially severe. Hopefully we can time cold air with one or two of these and they can take a good track. Cutters like these are definitely unusual in a strong Nino.

    Yeah, there were boxes and garbage everywhere this morning. Thankfully didn’t notice much tree damage but lots of trash. Island Park got flooded pretty good, LIRR shut down because of water on the tracks.
  15. jm1220
    Some flooding in Long Beach in the vulnerable spots but it’s probably good news that the worst of the winds last night were during low tide. Out east may be worse since the SW winds generate a fetch that builds toward the east end.
  16. jm1220
    The places that had snowpack probably maintained an inversion so the winds didn’t mix down there.

    Was just going to say PSEG is only saying 6100 customers out. I’m sure that will be going up fast.
  18. jm1220
    Miraculously power still on. Wind was quite intense but died down. Still mod to heavy rain.
  19. jm1220
    This is crazy. BLINDING rain and wind.
  20. jm1220
    Can’t buy a single T-storm in the middle of the summer on the south shore. January 9th? Bowing out squall line!!
  21. jm1220
    Happy Birthday @Rjay!! Here’s to Mother Nature blowing out your candles!!
  22. jm1220
    And it’s bowing out a little as it approaches. Yikes.
  23. jm1220
    From OKX? That’s where I saw the velocities from.
  24. jm1220
    And that squall line looks like it’s strengthening headed east. Yikes.
  25. jm1220
    Velocities over 110mph near Tom’s River. Not sure how high that is in the radar beam from OKX but there’s some serious wind not far off the ground.
