THE NORTHWEST WINDS AND COLD AIR WILL ALSO BRING OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF THE OUTER CAPE TUESDAY NIGHT.
As time nears I hope you all can post in here with your OBS. Anyone affected by these storms in the Northeast I would love to keep it here so we can look back. Thanks
Can't this all just be posted in the Winter 2012-2013 thread?
I tried to find some posts on some past storms and it was impossible scrolling through countless posts in that thread. It's nice to have memories of storms themselves. That thread is winter in general and for the entire northern Hemisphere. This thread is for the snowstorms and for the NorthEast. But nobody is holding you back from posting there. I just hope you can post here so we have an easy to look back record of things.
Plus, I dont think folks in the UK care about my storm updates for our area. lol
With that said...
Monday Night-Tuesday Storm Update:
Apparently its not a clipper anymore. Its a coastal Low with a potential for the trough to invert.
...LOW PRESSURE FORMING NEAR THE MID-ATLANTIC/NORTHEAST COAST MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY...
PREFERENCE: GFS OR ECMWF CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
THE NAM AND GFS HAVE TRENDED STRONGER ALOFT AND DEEPER WITH THE LOW. HOWEVER...THE NAM LIES NEAR THE DEEP EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE AND GIVEN SLIGHTLY WORSE INITIALIZATION OVER CANADA...THE NAM IS CONSIDERED UNLIKELY. AMONG THE REMAINING SOLUTIONS...THE ECMWF AND UKMET/CANADIAN ARE MORE LIKE THE GFS AS WELL. THUS...RECOMMEND A NON-NAM SOLUTION.
Seems like everywhere north and south of us has gotten snow, but not us.
