Storm update time, and it's ugly

1/31/2015

Picture
We call this headache weather for a reason.

New models just went off in different directions, all with different possibilities. Right now it's trending north by only 5-10 miles on average but that changes the forecast drastically as far as type of precip is concerned. The mixing lines for each model are now:

GFS: 5 miles NORTH of NYC/LI
NAM: straight through NYC/LI
EURO: 10 miles south still


As you can see above, if you compare that with the picture of the storm in the prior post you'll see that red line now ABOVE NYC/LI instead of 10 miles below it. SO because of the fact that the line is closer to the point forecast area, we will need to change the forecast. The problem is that each of the following locations: (Central Park, JFK, LGA, Newark, Islip) will have a DIFFERENT forecast. Here we go:


KNYC (Central Park)
1PM-9PM - liquid 0.01-0.03" - snow 0.10-0.30"
9PM-1AM - liquid 0.06-0.10" - snow 0.50-1.00"
1AM-5AM - liquid 0.30-0.50" - snow 3-6"
5AM-3PM: - liquid 0.45-0.65" - freezing rain (.10-.15" ice) & sleet 1-1.50"
3PM-5PM: - liquid 0.25-.0.75" - snow 0.25-0.75"
