QUICK THOUGHTS ON NE STORM NEXT WEEK

 

I'm starting to get a little worried about the potential storm that could bring near blizzard conditions to NE through the next days. Once both lows merge together early this week, the available moisture and specially high snow ratios behind the storm caused by the arctic air starting to pour southward could raise snowfall amounts in the 10-20 in with locally higher amounts, specially between NYC and Boston. I currently think that Boston might be the bullseye for this one, but the real answer might come later in the evening with the 0z run.

Thoughts from Joe Bastardi:
 
"In the big cities.. 3-6 around DC, and toward BWI, increasing to 6-12 PHL and then averaging 12 around NYC with local amounts 18. The -8 and -3 isotherms will play ratio games with this storm and the western cut off wont be as sharp, though I dont think the city will get the amount they did with the blizzard, Once to PVD and Boston look out.. 12-18 locally 24.. Its a classic."


Cheers.
