A rough & messy storm.......

ONE OF THE TOUGHEST PATTERNS WHEN A RAIN/SNOW LINE IS INVOLVED. MUCH OF THE NORTHEAST GETS WALLOPED AGAIN AS MOSTLY SNOW WILL FALL FROM NORTHERN N.J. THRU INLAND CONN. ON NORTH. 4-8" IN THESE AREAS...... WITH 8-12" FROM ALBANY TO
MAINE.  NY METRO AREA 3"-6"...AS WITH LONG ISLAND...WITH THE LESSER AMOUNTS SOUTH...HEAVIER AMOUNTS NORTH. THIS STORM
MOVES OUT BY EARLY TONIGHT...REFREEZING AGAIN. THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY QUIET. BELOW...CURRENT MAP. IF THAT LOW ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST DEEPENS QUICKER AND MOVES
NORTHEAST....MORE IN THE WAY OF ICE AND SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN NORTHEAST TODAY. IT'S A WAIT AND WATCH GAME.

ABOVE: LARGE AREA OF BLUE/GREEN IS THE CURRENT STORM. NOTICE AND SWIRL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: THAT'S ENERGY IN THE SOUTHERN JET. NOW NOTICE THE AREA OF BLUE-YELLOW-GREEN
PUSHING SOUTH OVER CENTRAL CANADA: ENERGY MOVING AROUND POLAR VORTEX.  IF THESE 2 PHASE...THEN THE POTENTIAL STORM FOR SUNDAY IS A BIG ONE, IF THEY DO NOT...THEN IT WILL BE
AN AVERAGE SNOWSTORM FOR NORTHEAST. 

ABOVE MAP IS AT 500 MB - FOR THIS SUNDAY AND FROM THE JAPAN MODEL. I LIKE THE WAY THIS MODEL IS HANDLING THE PATTERN. SEE THE ENERGY IN PINK ? THAT SHOULD PRODUCE AN INTENSIFYING STORM OVER THE CAROLINAS COASTLINE WHICH WILL THEN MOVE NORTHEAST. IF THIS IS CORRECT...HEAVY SNOW IS A GOOD BET
FOR NORTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC SUNDAY.  YOU NEED TO GIVE THE MODELS 48 HOURS BEFORE AN EVENT TO REALLY GRAB IT...SO I THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A GOOD CALL FRIDAY. BE SAFE EVERYONE...LATER.
