Snowstorm Will Be A New England Classic (1-2ft), Wild Temp Variation, Watching Next Storm!

Written by Mark Vogan on March 12, 2014 in United States of America with 0 Comments

I’ve no change in overall thinking. This system should drop 3-6 over central/northern Indiana and Ohio (with Chicago in that zone now) before the system really cranks over the Northeast. Center drops below 985 with 50 miles NW of PHL with heavy snow breaking out across Upstate New Y into New England. Center exits just north of NYC at probably sub-978 with a blizzard developing across New England.

Looks like it’s going to be harder to get much backside snow into NYC, even harder PHL but look out, we see it go from mid 60s tomorrow to low and mid-20s Thursday afternoon!!

Here’s the latest off the ECMWF surface.

Little change in the snow projections. I agree with this…

Here’s the snow depth. There’s plenty on the ground already but the model is seeing the additional 1-2ft with this next storm which will easily be the biggest of the season for Vermont, N Hampshire and Maine.

Here’s the AccuWeather snow forecast for the storm.

Going to have some wild temperature variation with this storm too.

Check out these numbers off the ECMWF tomorrow afternoon. 60s, maybe even a 70 in South Jersey, wow!

Check this out less than 24 hrs later! Note the temp drop and also note what the model has over the Ohio Valley! Overdone, highly likely but even if it’s 8 degrees warmer, that’s still impressive for this late.

Next System

As I’ve been mentioning for some time now, the model continues to see the next system following this only further south, taking aim more at the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast cities rather than interior. The reason this is likely is because of the pattern evolving out east over the Atlantic. High pressure looks to back west from Europe which could/should help the next low crossing the US track further south with a deeper eastern US trough.

Here it is according to the ECMWF.
