EastonSN+ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Definite improvements for the NAM and RGEM as the primary on both are faster to move east and do not gain as much latitude. ICON was a step back with the opposite of the above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Just now, eduggs said: RGEM and ICON look like holds to me in terms of the thermals. The ICON might actually be a tiny hair warmer but 6z was a weenie run. The NAM was better. I guess the positive takeaway is we have pretty good run to run consistency and even inter-model consistency now that the GFS is getting closer to consensus. To me it’s been steady as she goes for the last 2 days. There’ll be a very heavy initial thump of snow then we flip to sleet at least around I-80 and south for a while, looks like around mid to late afternoon. Hopefully by then most of the precip is done. The questions are really what happens on Monday with any coastal development and how fast the dry slot gets here. The stronger primary further north also means faster dry slot. It’s fundamentally a SWFE so the flip to sleet is coming for many. The real question area for sleet to me is around White Plains area to coastal CT and northern NJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Add the RRFS to the models that have improved at 12z. It shifted the thermals and surface features south. Looks like a great run for most of our forum. And it's not quite over here with some light wraparound stuff still to move through. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterweatherlover Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I don't take the ICON very seriously but the cutoff is pretty insane, 8 inches southern NYC, 20 inches at the Bronx/Westchester border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 3 minutes ago, Winterweatherlover said: 12Z NAM looked way better for NYC, RGEM slightly worse, expect some wobbling, going to be close in terms of mainly snow vs several hours of sleet but I think we are narrowing the borderline area to 30 miles north and south of the I80 corridor. Compare RGEM from 6z, definitely improved with the primary speed and location. Can't take the snow map or mix timing at this long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nam got wetter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 NAM, which the naysayers cling to for mid level warming, popped the secondary earlier and further SE. this ticked the mixing south. Great run of the NAM. the RGEM was less snowy due to a weird QPF min around the city. The ICON has been wildly inconsistent. so far I like the 12z suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed about the primary - that's key. A weaker, further south primary won't push the dryslot as far north. That could lead to a continuation of light precipitation after the thump into the overnight as opposed to a quick end. The RGEM has been steadily flatting the longwave trof, which would be associated with a weaker primary... but models historically weaken this feature too quickly.

I think it's still a bit too early to narrow down how far north the meaningful sleet line makes it but I think it'll be somewhere in a range from about 30 miles south or north of I80/NYC. Ideally we'd want to probably see it south of NYC today expecting the last second north bump with middle level warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcmmKU Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, WeatherGeek2025 said: barely any sleet on the nam New York City and north! Snows well into Monday! If the NAM continues to show this I'd be bullish. NAM is typically good at detecting the northern extent of the sleet line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
