OBS-NOWCAST for the Probable period of Hazardous wintry weather for a portion of the NYC sub forum centered on Wednesday Dec 8, 2021

Good morning,

Still early: Reminder (except if someone has later information), but the NAM stops, I think in 2023, when it's positives are woven into other  modeling.

Here is the 12z cycle

3K NAM Ferrier

3K NAM

12K NAM

all have been favoring e LI and se CT for 2+" of snow for most of the recent cycles. Click for detail.  ALSO, I like to use positive snow depth change as my baseline. Now a matter of integrating with other models, a poor mans ensemble, so to speak.

Not changing anything yet in Thread headline and TAGS.  Will probably wait til 6A Tuesday... am with extended family this evening. 

Which also brings up the potential for 45 MPH gusts this evening with the CFP.  For now no thread,  but we ?MAY? have an SPS event for iso gust 45-50 MPH.  Something similar to a few days ago (tho less thunder). I do see spotty small hail possible with this line as it gets into LI/CT via the HRRR.  TT don't seem very large so the chance is pretty small.  Also stability winds are marginal for transfer of >45 MPH.

Glad there is still snow modeled for us.

The new Euro still wants nothing at all to do with Wednesday. It’s less than half an inch of snow area wide, even using 10:1 ratios: https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=ecmwf_full&p=sn10_acc&rh=2021120612&fh=84&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc= 

Considering how small the Euro incrementally moves though its changes with the surface low from 54-66 were significant.  I think in the end it'll bust pretty badly relative to what it was showing last night or yesterday which was more or less a total whiff

Hopefully this can be a nice little event. I’ll definitely be wrong about this being a SWFE due to the fast pattern but maybe it can amp enough for an advisory snow event east of the city. Either way with whatever we get in December should be appreciated. If I had to guess right now I’d say an inch or two from the city on east but possibility for a little more if the Nam is correct.

Nov 1989 would be the top end potential of this

only 36 hours to go time and we still don't know if we're getting 1-3 or flurries. damn the tech still sucks 

This happens all the time with rain and convection events. But people aren’t paying such close attention unless it’s snow. When was the last 36-48 hr forecast rainfall -convection event that the models nailed to within a T to .3 of an inch of liquid? This is all with in the margin of error at 36 to 48 hours out.

Computer model guidance is merely a tool.  It's up to the meteorologist to make a forecast based on all the data and experience.  As Jeff Beradelli has said many times, the devil is in the details.  Somewhere in the modeling are clues to what actually is going to happen.

Except the tools we had before were better than the tools we had now. This is a nothing event and won’t even accumulate except on cars and grass.

Especially early in the season, when there is still warm ocean water, marginal air temperatures around.

Walt has already posted about the potential for strong winds with the cold front passage this evening.  I am seeing that occurring right now in places just west of Allentown on stations that report on WU and the Davis Network.  Wind gusts to 30mph on these types of stations will translate to gusts up to and over 40 mph at the NWS reporting stations.  Mt. Holly has already issued a SWS for this threat for my area.
