donsutherland1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The 12z NAM was less amplified at 500 mb than the 6z run and it backed off on the push of the warmth aloft. It will be interesting to see the soundings changes. This should alleviate some of the worries concerning the New York City area and nearby suburbs. The warmth still reached parts of the Jersey Shore in a pretty big way. QPF also increased over 6z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The Nam went from the least snowy to one of the snowiest in 1 run lol Hence why you should use it sparingly beyond 36-48hrs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 2 minutes ago, EastonSN+ said: Check the difference in primary location: Yep, weaker and further south primary is definitely what we want. I haven’t looked at the 700/850mb panels but I’d assume those improved as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 One thing is for certain, the models are all beefing up the QPF which at the very least is going to strengthen the thump before any mixing. Westchester on North are going to get crushed either way, probably some 18+" totals there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNJSnowman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Really sharp cutoff on the NAM from about 14 inches to 7 inches (Kuchera) right around my house. Not too concerned about that at the moment...guessing that will move one way or the other, and that the cutoff line isn't likely to be as stationary as the NAM depicts it, so that there's likely to be more gradually decreasing totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey_Snowhole Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The city is going to mix regardless. I think the most important thing to do now is to stop looking for n/s trends and start looking at when the mix happens and how much snow you can get before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
