January 19-20th Winter Storm Threat

This is going to be a tricky forecast.  Especially with that second low forming on the front.   Even if it's initially warm/rainy, we could see some serious icing then some snow on the back side.

GFS taken literally would be a wild storm. Heavy rain, sleet, freezing rain, then high ratio snow with a flash freeze thrown in.

The second low is an interesting twist, and likely a positive one for us. Interested to see how this continues to evolve over the next several days.

Need that re-developments 6-12 hours earlier to keep the screaming SW wind at the 850 and 2m level down

raw 2m gfs temps are not worth looking at

thank you, seriously. that can not be said enough. even it has a nice signal for arctic air surging down the hudson valley if you look at its 10m winds sunday. that would meet little resistance on its way south.

the back end snow on the 18z run was simply a 500mb jet max passing by, putting us in a brief sweet spot for lift. the soundings aren't that impressive, but this does seem to be the kind of pattern where multiple vorts come into play. it's as likely as any other operational run out there for the time being.floop-gfs-2019011418.500wh.us_ma.gif.b51b13fdfd48f9bd97a632a3b3909ea2.gif

some gfes members split the system into two parts with the second being all snow. that's our best hope
