Absolute Humidity Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Mt Holly potential Blizzard disco... AS YOU KNOW...THE MORE RELIABLE MODELS ARE SLOWLY CONVERGING ON QPF WITH THE 12Z/2 EC HAVING MARKEDLY INCREASED QPF IN NJ. THERE IS A SMALL CHC WE MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO CONSIDER A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES BUT FOR NOW...ITS ONLY A 20 PCT CHANCE IN OUR MINDS. LETS JUST FOCUS ON VERY SLIPPERY TRAVEL THURSDAY NIGHT WITH BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILL TO FOLLOW FRIDAY MORNING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Ocean and Monmouth get blizzard warning but interior counties not? Due to coastal winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p626808 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Been monitoring this at a distance. Why would Ocean and Monmouth get blizzard warning but interior counties not? Due to coastal winds? Winds and the heavier snow will also be on the coast. (visability requirement for blizzard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes. Blizzard warnings are about wind and visibility. Winds need to be in excess of 35mph for 3 hours with visibility below 1/4 of a mile. Anywhere away from the coast will not see thaws conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds need to be in excess of 35mph for 3 hours with visibility below 1/4 of a mile. Anywhere away from the coast will not see thaws conditions. Blowing snow plus moderate snow falling and wind gusts in the upper 30s as forecast by mt holly for the shore locations would produce conditions that would qualify as blizzard...the duration of those conditions is the issue and how much of that heavier snow can fall will be factored into a potential blizzard warning IMO.

White Gorilla Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Quick question.....on radar, I see a link developing between the northern snow streak and the gulf moisture with precip slowly filling in. Also noticing heavy precip on the SE Atlantic coast. Was this depiction forecasted by models at this time? Is anything ahead of schedule, or signs of greater digging?

Isn't that often the sort of Blizzard you see in the plains states? I've seen some Blizzard warnings issued for snowfall of only 5-7'' due to winds that accompany the snowfall.

I've seen some Blizzard warnings issued for snowfall of only 5-7'' due to winds that accompany the snowfall. We rarely see true old standard blizzard conditions here due to trees. In the plains states, there are few obstructions to defuses the winds which can easily whip up white out conditions, even with no snow falling. Our blizzards depend on winds and snowfall rates to greatly reduce visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysready126 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 ive seen blizzard warnings issued for 1-3 inch events. has more to do with wind and blowing snow than it does with falling snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Does this incorporate better than 10-1 ratios or is it just 10-1? That's based on 10 to 1 , but mayb a bit overdone , but 12 inches in NYC is poss either way u slice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 SREF's are drier. 0.5" line through NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monmouthcounty11 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 SREF mean has cut down on precip, and the low is further east and appears weaker. Not surprising, some of the individual members were pretty out there and I assume they came back to earth. .5+ from Central NJ and NYC east, .25-.5 elsewhere.

monmouthcounty11 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 they seem to jump back and forth in every storm. They are very inconsistent and volatile, even from run to run you see drastic changes with each individual member. I don't find them particularly useful.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The WAA wave is not looking good at all for the areas way north, I've noticed the HRRR has not been impressed with it at all, not to mention even the SPC WRF run from 12Z had really lousy reflectivity with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
