Presidents' day Snow potential

Hoping CPK can record a couple of inches. I am personally pulling for CPK to reach average would be a shame not to with all the cold (conscious we are ina dry spell).

12z is a meh-vent. We need more significant trends north at this point. Maybe better for the I-195 to Philly corridor.

starting at 12Z today its better to prioritize the mesoscale models - the various NAMS, HRRR -etc. etc. IMO - of course the GFS is going to start playing games going south then north does it all the time

Euro slightly south. 1-3 for nyc with more in CNJ.

AI Euro bumped qpf a little bit from 6z. Not as robust as 0z.

Yeah but closer to an inch then 2 to 4

I think 1 to 3 is a good call for our area, but obviously still some uncertainty. I want to see the HRRR jump aboard by the 0z run tonight.

stick with the Mesoscale models 36 - 48 hours out GFS and Euro jumps 50 - 75 miles one way or the other drive us nuts

'meh-vent' is a great term that I wish I came up with.

The 12z HREF:

Deducting one category would still produce a 1"-2" snowfall for the New York City area and its nearby suburbs and a coating to an inch across most of Westchester and Rockland Counties. That is largely in line with the overall model guidance. I suspect that there will be an area with 2"-4" snowfalls in central New Jersey. The 12z NAM appears to be a high outlier overall.

The nam being the furthest north is always a red flag

[Nibor]

A minor difference in the northern stream is all it takes for more robust precip to make it's way into our subforum. Gotta watch for more phasing like the 0z AI euro if we want to see more qpf. 6z and 12z took small steps away from that.
