Tricky storm forecast less than 24 hours out...
Posted February 7th, 2013 by Bill Kardas. 168 comments
Rapid developments over the past 48 hours in the forecasting world all thanks to a complex snowfall unfolding on Friday. Here are some of the latest details -
-Steady light snow begins after dark, a trace to 2" of accumulation by 7am Friday morning
-Light to moderate snow through the early afternoon as a coastal low approaches
-Heaviest snow falls Friday evening, especially east of Utica
-Blustry conditions & blowing snow Saturday
This setup involves two storm systems. A land locked low pressure center will arrive from the west tonight, bringing light snow to the area. Late Friday, a coastal low approaches, and combines energy with the earlier low. The energy transfor will bring a shot of energy to the coastal low, allowing for strong winds and heavy snow to fall in New England.
It's becoming clearer now that the coastal low will be the dominant storm. The track of the low is very important in spelling out which area in the Northeast gets hit the hardest. As of Thursday morning, somewhere between Albany and Boston will take the brunt of the accumulation. We are on the outside of the heavy bands, but should squeeze out at least several inches. Be sure to check out the latest snowfall maps posted in the comments section.
The toughest part of the forecast is the track of the coastal storm. A close approach as seen on the NAM would bring nearly a foot of snow to the area. The farther eastern track of the GFS and EURO robs CNY of heavy snow...with totals much closer to 6". We'll keep fine tuning the forecast, as we've seen plenty of changes even this close to the event.

Why is there such a big difference in snowfall amounts between wktv, wixt & the weather channel for our area?

Nick (West Winfield,NY):
Track of the system is still somethat unknown.
2 models, the GFS and the NAM are both very different.
A western more track would give us more snow, eastern- less snowfall. How these systems phase, when, can most likily impact that making it a hard forecast, and thats why different #s, each Met. has a different out look.
Say the NAM- It can over do QPF amounts.
GFS is lower Res.
All this adds up to a super hard time to forecast snowfall amounts.
That not even including ratios. lolPosted February 7th at 3:12 PM

Jeff H (Sherburne Hills):
Looks like someone still believes in a major impact….NOAA puts up warnings, updated snowfall showing higher amounts (in line with previous amounts before the noon swing). I see that Central and Eastern Mass is really gonna get clobbered.

1800 run of Nam looks like the storm is now farther east then earlier. More in line with GFS and EURO. Hope I am reading it right. LOL :)

Adam Musyt:
18z NAM is indeed farther east and more in line with this morning’s 12z GFS model run. We had a feeling this might happen. NAM model is notoriously “bouncy” while GFS trends tend to happen more slowly.
The new NAM shows 6 to 7 tenths of liquid equivalent for our area with the heaviest snow in the afternoon and evening…and the heaviest precip of all to our east. That’s in line with current thinking and meshes well with our current numbers.
We’ll see what the 18z incarnation of the GFS brings. The 12z run gave us just about a half inch of total liquid equivalent.
Posted February 7th at 3:51 PM
-
Adam Musyt:
18z GFS grid interpolations just trickling in. The model lines up well with c urrent thinking. Light snow late tonight and tomorrow. Snow intensifies in the afternoon with 0.15” liquid equivalent between 1 PM and 7 PM….and then another quarter inch of liquid (implying some heavy snow) during the evening between 7 PM and 1 AM Saturday.
Model total QPF (quantitative precipitation forecast) is 0.52”...so our current forecast remains in tact with good agreement between the 18z NAM and 18z GFS (and most of the SREFS).

Cindy (Ilion):
I just have to say how wrong it is that some place like the weather channel is still predicting that we are in the 12-16” range. I just can’t figure this out. I think it is so wrong. How can they put this out there.

sue (fairfield):
Cindy, just think of the weather channel as entertainment…..after all they name the storms….not the national weather service ; )
Posted February 7th at 7:13 PM

Matt (Rochester):
A lot of discrepancies can also come from what different agency’s think the Snow to Water ratio is. Although with just over .50 inches of water to get 24:1 ratios to make 12 would be impressive.

Matt (Rochester):
Light-Moderate Snow at times here already.

Adam Musyt:
00z NAM has 6 tenths of an inch of liquid equivalent. That’s just about in line with the 18z run.
Posted February 7th at 9:17 PM

Nick (West Winfield,NY):
I saw 0z NAM also had a pretty big gradient in QPF....awww sooooo close.
I hope we can get in some nice banding and some of the heavyer stuff..sooo close.Posted February 7th at 9:30 PM
-
Nick (West Winfield,NY):
Plus 0z NAM Hi res sim radar shows banding southeast of the utica area…which could def. increase QPF amounts.
Im still excited for this system. :)

Adam Musyt:
GFS just came in with 0.57.” Light snow in the morning and heavier snow in the late afternoon and evening. Bottom line is that the forecast stays largely in tact. There’s been excellent run to run consistency on the 12z, 18z and 00z GFS and on the NAM too after it came on board at 18z.
We’ll add the eastern half of Otsego to the 9”-12” tier and put Old Forge back into the lower range based on the latest trends. Still, 90 percent of our population is looking at the same forecast as earlier today.

Bill Kardas (WKTV):
Light snow is filling in along and north of the NYS Thruway. This will continue through the early afternoon. Areas south of the valley will stay relatively quiet until the coastal low approaches.
06z models have once again diverged in thinking, reverting back to the 12z ideas from yesterday. The 06z runs tend to be less reliable than their 00z counterparts, so we’ll keep the general nuts and bolts of the forecast in place.

Jim (Whitesboro) (Whitesboro):
Bill, When you say “reverting back tot he 12z ideas” are you referring to when the NAM showed it coming farther west yesterday?
For everyone else: Watch out for drifts near fields and open spaces. Ran into a few in the WhitestownWestmoreland area on my way to Thruway. There were even some on the Thruway on/off ramps. The Thruway for the most part was in good shape between Westmoreland exit and the first ‘Cuse exit. between 7am and 7:40. I481 in Syracuse was not great, and the downtown streets are pretty much covered at this point. To be honest conditions were worse than I expected. Good luck to all!

Bill Kardas (WKTV):
Alright folks, we are not into the realm of nowcasting. Our important focus will be on the following:
1) GROUND REPORTS*** we need them to give folks an idea on an hourly basis. Please continue to post updates here – it helps us out tremendously!
2) Surface maps – we’ll track the center and pressure drop of the coastal low to see if it lines up with the computer models or is different. This will clue us in on any last minute trends.
3) Model updates – the 12z runs are big today for any last minute changes to the forecast (if any are needed).

Bill Kardas (WKTV):
12z NAM is in…consistent with the previous 18z & 00z runs. It is slightly wetter than the previous runs, about 0.7” – which makes sense as it showcases more backlash snowfall tonight. This makes sense from a textbook standard. Figuring a 10:1 ratio would draw an average of 7”. Waiting for the GFS...
Posted February 8th at 10:17 AM
-
Bill Kardas (WKTV):
Not surprisingly, we are noticing a slightly deeper observed pressure already with the coastal storm compared to the models. Pressure down to 994mb according to SPC meso analysis page. The position of the low at the present moment looks pretty close to the 12z NAM track.
This observation is not enough to change the forecast in our region – it could mean more snow for interior New England though.

Adam Musyt:
Precipitation is filling in fast with the energy transfer from the continental to coastal low taking place.
In fact, you can see this process unfolding rather well here:
Snow has picked up in Syracuse with visibility down to 3/4 of a mile and heavy snow is occurring in Rochester with visibility down to just 1/4 of a mile.
Expect the snows to pick up considerably over the next one to two hours for the vast majority of CNY.

Adam Musyt:
58 – Dry slot is just one of the many challenges to face as a meteorologist when we have an “energy transfer” from one low pressure to another.
Still, I’m pretty confident that this fills in quickly over the next couple of hours.
Snow has rapidly intensified in Binghamton and Syracuse over the past couple of hours and as the old upper low gets absorbed into the coastal, it still appears that some of that energy is going to fill in locally.

Looks like the 1”+ snowfall rates that many of us in Oneida County have seen over the past few hours are about to exit stage right. So in and around Utica, once we get past 10:30 or 11:00, it may be more like 1/2 inch per hour.

118 – That sure is impressive. And you can bet that the water content is MUCH higher than what we’d see in lake effect. If we assume a 10:1 ratio that’s 8 tenths of liquid equivalent in an hour. That’s impressive enough on an 80 degree say with a 70 degree dew point. With temperatures below freezing it’s remarkable.

Adam Musyt:
An even 6.0” here at the station. Snow is much lighter now.
129 – I don’t see much more than another couple of inches out of this for Utica/Rome. The echoes attempting to move in from the northeast are encountering drier air from the west. The surface area of 25 DBZ or higher echoes over the ‘Dacks is considerably less than it was just an hour or two ago.
This thing should be over with, save only for a few snow showers, by 2 or 3’oclock.
