The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

Recommended Posts

Good morning New York City.

Blizzard is on its way but today will be a beautiful day to run your errands before the storm hits. 

 

Currently 34 degrees with the beautiful sunrise coming up. It's going to be a relatively warm day today with a high of 47 light and variable winds. 

 

Tonight the temperature drops to around 34 degrees as the clouds roll in by sunrise. 

 

Sunday: we have a blizzard warning here with expected snow during the day around 2-4 inches during the day. 

 

Sunday night blizzard conditions, dangerous wind  up to 70 mph in highest gusts, possible thundersnow and heavy wet snow with a low of 26 degrees with 10-14 inches of snow. 

 

Monday: Blizzard conditions in the morning with heavy snow, tapering down to light snow showers by early afternoon and ending west to east by 3pm high of 34 very windy. 3-6 inches of additional snow. 

Total storm snow accumulations of 15 to 24 inches possible. 

Monday Night: Cold and windy night low of 22

A few important aspects to keep in mind:
- There is no human intervention in that dataset. The underlying NWS NDFD forecast is applied to the WPC super ensemble data and does adjust the statistical spectrum a bit, but this is done automatically.

- There may be time lagging affecting the low end members of the super ensemble, with various inputs possibly being earlier model cycles.

- The above being said, given the extreme top end of the spectrum which we can see with the GFS (and many GEFS members) and NAM, those top end 90th percentile amounts are physically plausible, and again, automatically derived (with a ratio applied I believe).

- There is certainly a good deal less spread now than earlier today, but you'll still have some ensemble members that have much lower QPF at this range (and some of these may be from earlier cycles, as noted above). For this reason, the 10th percentile low end amount undeniably seems ridiculous given the extreme top end amounts, but in this case, the 10th percentile is not completely unreasonable. As spread decreases, that will most certainly come up on subsequent runs.

This is great info, thank you.  I was going to just click the Thanks emoji as I did and leave it that since I had nothing meaningful to contribute, except to say that I noticed this morning that as of the latest update the High End was kept in the update, but the Low End was dropped entirely.  I'm guessing that's out of concern that whatever it might have currently shown,  people will see that and not t take this seriously, in an update where 'take this seriously' is rightly the whole point.

Euro moving every so slightly west was telegraphed on last nights ensemble. Tip was of the opinion, as of yesterday afternoon, that it’s not done trending west; to be determined. 

I’m not overly concerned about the qpf projections up here in northwest NJ; the 700 fronto that’s been depicted is phenomenal. 

Letting the weenie flag fully fly: I can’t wait to see the developed ccb as this thing churns toward the cape.

Personally I'm good with the NWS going with the "average" model camp (8-12" NW of 95, 12-16" near/along 95 and 16-20" for the coast) from a public safety/trust perspective, since going with the low end model average and having something near the high end verify would have people not quite ready for an historic storm. They can easily bump down from the average camp if things trend that way before the storm starts and easily bump up towards something historic (the 10% high case) if the low end models bump up significantly. I am a bit surprised their 10% low end case is so low - that implies they still think there's a worst credible case for the system to go back to the Euro 2 days ago. That would kind of suck.

All is well, [mention=564]bluewave[/mention]
Thank you for asking. I hope all is well with you. I missed/look forward to reading your weather posts 

No more Philly discord?!

NAM usually follows the NMB member so expect the 12z NAM to be pretty tucked imo

If you look closer at the map above, the snowfall total range is from 1" to 36" at Toms River NJ.  Meaning all or nothing. lol.  I guess they are covering themselves to say they predicted every possible outcome.  I think temperatures will be from 0 to 100 degrees tomorrow.  oh, and the GFS is correct and has been all week.

:facepalm:Sure glad I am few miles west of Staten Island - wouldn't want to be caught in that Blizzard:twister:but seriously does anyone think conditions will be any different in the Eastern Counties of NJ ?

Yes please. Being in New Brunswick I can afford some NW ticks. 

Same and we can afford it forum wide but we’ll see how it goes. Euro shows a moderate storm for our area but nothing like NAM/GFS that both have me at over 20” multiple runs. one will be right when all is said and done on Monday. TBD

I am probably 2 miles south of Staten Island as the crow flies.. Just about on the Monmouth county border

you to I am sure your will notice the 10 mph wind difference
