I'm fully expecting to go into Sunday with a Jersey Shorecast for a sloppy 1-3" and a whole bunch of rain. I'm still kinda convinced the track of the storm will be hugging the coast, so the cold won't really matter. But as of now, it looks like a very snowy solution is still a totally plausible outcome for us. I think I saw a few hours ago, we are between 30-40% likely to see 6" or more. That's a massively high percentage for these parts! And it still translates directly to a 60-70% chance of not getting that! lol
But, make no mistake, this is the best position 72 hours out that Ocean County has seen in 3 years. That could ALL change at 6 pm. lol But for now, we just keep tracking...

Good to keep expectations in check. Better to be pleasantly surprised than bitterly disappointed. The last runs verbatim looked good for your part of Ocean County. Mixing was more of an issue toward Barnegat and Stafford. But . . . still three days out. It's so hard to get heavy snow with no mixing right down to the shore that you're better to do exactly as you say: keep expectations in check and keep tracking! I'll be pulling for you.

I haven't had 1' snow amounts since March 2018. Several 8-9" events since then so I'm paranoid. LOL

18Z nam came in way South. If we miss the overrunning precipitation you can can forget about snow until Monday afternoon.

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
I’ve actually noticed that the NAM has been on the southeastern side of the guidance envelop for most events this year outside of 48 hours, and then it finally catches on and corrects. I think the only one it didn’t do that with was the December storm. Which is interesting, because the NAM usually is over amped in its extended, so I’m not sure what’s going on with it this year.

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
The models are having a tough time with the block. They were to far North with the initial precipitation with mondays syztem and today seem to be correcting with this system. I have a strong feeling that we will have to rely solely on the coastal fot our snow. I always like our chances better with the initial waa snows

The euro has been insistant on this for days. It is a day slower with the onset of precip compared to other guidance

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
The ULL is literally blocked off. Heights do their best to ride ahead of it but they're quickly squashed, per the NAM

Slow is better
More time for northern stream phasing
I hope this thing gets delayed until Tuesday

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
I also do not like a stalled low near Delaware Bay for prolonged hrs. Too much of an easterly fetct will change coastal plain to mix and rain. Hope for a primary into central Ohio and a trasfer east and slightly north of Atlantic city. Let it sit and mature there for a day

So if this were to happen, it would be a cooler solution but with precipitation much further south with N&W not getting much?

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
The 18Z GFS is good at the mid levels. Maturing system slowly crawling to the benchmark. CCB stuff won't be known for sometime. We want to be NW of these mid level lows otherwise it'll be congrats Binghamton again.

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
We need this to come back north. Wherever the low initially forms it will sit and loop de loop until it occluds. We aare playing with fire to solely rely on the coastal

I guess it depends on what you believe to be the most potential. I'm thinking give the coastal time to form under out latitude and a slowly maturing coastal can probably do more for us than the WAA snow which will tend to wane usually more quickly than modeled anyway as the transfer occurs. If the coastal starts to mature off ACY that'll benefit NE much more than us. If starts its maturation process around Ocean City MD or even 50 miles south of there, then I think that could be very nice for us.
I don't buy the GFS QPF being so low with that run. Not for a minute...

Re: 01/31 Possible Winter Storm
GFS looked wonky to me. Although the H5 levels looked improved from 12Z, there was a lack of a potent CCB even though the low was right on the BM. I’m not really concerned at this point; I’ve seen too many times where the GFS precip field is weak or disjointed on the NW side of the low.heehaw453 wrote:The 18Z GFS is good at the mid levels.
