As early as 2-4pm Saturday afternoon, snow or ice will move into the NYC Metro area due to a developing low pressure system in the southeast US.

1st Call Snow Map, February 21st-22nd Storm Gfs_z500a_namer_11

The -PNA helps the southeast ridge amplify over the east coast. Without a PV in eastern Canada, there's no mechanism to try and suppress it. However, there will be a High to our northwest that will prevent the low from doing a full cut to our west. So we avoid the rain and temps in the 40's.

You can see the GFS starts us as snow before transitioning over the ice or rain. The EURO and GEM appear to be much colder. They keep the cold air in tact longer and show a weaker low.

I do caution that the 4-8" is probably TOO HIGH. With my final call I can see the light and darker shade of blue becoming 1 zone of 3-6". I want to see if overnight and 12z runs tomorrow trend wetter with this system, which I think is possible still. Pretty confident about the other regions at this time.

Final call tomorrow @7pm

4 to 8 would be great. 3 to 6 still good especially compared to what we were expecting just 18 hours ago.

Frank great map and the cold trend is there. I write there is snow on the ground everywhere north of a line from Cape Hatteras, NC across to the southern border of the state of Tennessee. How much warm air can reasonably & plausibly be expected to be advected north given such a circumstance, considering the mid latitude disturbance is not some behemoth? I think the gfs is a tad warm given thus just mho here but we'll see

3 to 6 just north and west with another interesting storm. This is a decent hit but it seems the interest isn't here.

Most people are worn out just from tracking, haha.

The dumbo model did trend colder. I want to see GFS.

I'm interested, but I don't think this storm an trend enough to the coastal plain. Might end up being an over performer inland where the cold air hangs on a little longer.

Very understandable this winter especially with all the tracking and no big ones yet.

I need about 50 miles, LOL. Just close enough to give me hope and just close enough to make it painful Saturday night. Oh well, we have gotten lucky the last two systems it is time to share the wealth in this forum. If it doesn't come my way, I hope someone else here gets lucky!!

Looks like about an inch to 1.25 total qpf....so maybe right around an inch of rain or a little less if snow hangs on a little longer.

I haven't. Why? It's not fully in range yet, anyway, so be careful when looking at it. It's meant for very short predictive windows, so anything you see towards the end of its forecast must be taken with skepticism.

Also keep in mind that towards the end of its run, the rain/snow line creeps in from the Atlantic Ocean and approaches NYC and LI.
