At least we’re still in the ballgame after being out of it a couple of days ago. Hopefully we can score several inches from the front end before getting into the wrap around/lake effect  Thursday to Saturday. 

That's the missing link as the wrap around looks like a lock on all guidance

The first little impulse comes through tonight through the early mornin hrs tomorrow then a break and it's during this time we see the precip shield start to pivot West so we'll see how far West it gets. Hoping the GFS scores another coup, but who really knows at this pt.

Agree on precip shield. Some storms have really sharp cutoffs due to their structure but this doesn't appear to be one of them. So, some uncertainty how far NW the precip shield gets thrown. Models frequently underdo this.  Unless there are big changes at 00Z (or real time), I suspect we will have SN- from the true synoptic part in conjunction with interaction with the primary low...with heavier bands making it as far west as UCA-BGM. 

How KBGM deals with the long duration of SN- will be interesting.  I don't think we will see Warning criteria here (7"+ in ~12 hrs?) but several 6 hr periods of 1/2"/hr snowfall seems pretty likely thru Sat.

Certain other forums may disagree, and I get that last minute east jigs in slp tracks frequently occur on NWP, but given the blocking and H500 fujiwara projected to occur, I think the bigger risk is a further NW track as this thing slipping out underneath seems unlikely given the projected capture dynamics in play.

18Z NAM no major changes from 12Z. If anything it closes off a touch earlier...SLP and thermal profile almost on top of the 12Z.  

Gotta say, there are people seeing things on the 18z NAM that just don't exist.  Also a lot of chatter that NAM will "cave" to Euro's slightly SE track and colder thermal profile eventually (now by 00Z or 06Z or maybe by this weekend). What would concern me about that idea is one look at the Euro at H72.  Completely on its own with a 993 mb low well out at sea.

The Nam is even further on the Coast.  This illustrates it quite nicely!

12Z

18Z

I'm not really sure how much would change wrt the precip shield and the mid levels as no new data was really ingested into the 18Z except surface obs and satellite data, as no balloons are sent up on off runs, so we may in fact see a shift come 00Z as from my eyes this is still trending West.

18Z NAM is even a touch further west than 12Z. Has a 989 low just about over Surf City, NJ at 21 Z tomorrow. Syracuse at least briefly gets into the heavier snow. 71B9CCFD-0F95-4E34-9D80-692779F88D55.thumb.png.3626ac6bbf045772fa66339b5043ec55.png

That's funny as you posted the same thing as I did, almost at the same time, lol!

That's an incorrect read. It's caving to Euro, big move east. A little birdie told me that. ;)

For fun, look the 3km NAM. This is exactly what I've been suspecting would happen w/ precip shield being thrown more NW even with slp in relatively similar position to last couple runs.

At least C-PA is getting in on the action as they usually don't.

E-PA also, they seem to somehow miss or underperform a lot for some reason. Maybe bad luck.  00Z gonna be Yuge run as new data fully ingested in models. After that its near Nowcasting time...The trend has been West since 06Z today. We'll see if its been a head fake, or not.

KBGM thinks the EURO is Trending West, lol??

It ticked west a bit at 12z but whether its a bona fide trend hard to say with one data point...but it matches all other NWP moves so its part of an overall trend...

KBGM seems to be downplaying the wraparound but they are probably focusing on the main heaviest impact part of the storm for now.

Would not want to be a person who forecasts for the public right now, lol!

Imagine down near NYC or SNE...based on snippets of radio talk...everyone thinks they're getting a foot or more.  Could also be 4" than slop and dryslot..
