Any reputable Met is forecasting rain or mix to start in far southern NJ. Temps will fall as real precip moves in, turning it all to snow. Stop with nonsense talk of this.

Considering the direction this storm has gone IDK if that's as damning as you think it might sound.

I wonder if will be like that one hurricane several years ago, when the TWC meteorologist was pretending it was hard to stand in the wind. Meanwhile there were 2 guys in shorts casually strolling closer to the beach in the background with zero issues?

True. But what does that have to do about the absolute fact I said?

0z will be our biggest model suite in years!

I think this is locked in at this point so I don't know how important  0z is outside of some small adjustments here and there of the heaviest snow. Anything that happens now is noise basically, a big one is coming regardless.

Globals don't matter much this close.

Now it's about the short term models. The RAP, the HRRR, the NAM, even the SREFS.
