The extremely powerful nor’easter scheduled for Sunday will hit Saturday night will drop 4-8 inches along the coast with slightly higher amounts inland.

This is a VERY hard forecast with most of the global models pointing to a potent storm undergoing cyclogenesis around 40N 70W with heavy snow bands wrapping onshore late saturday night. The proximity to land and exact track will play a VERY important role in the  forecast for snow and wind. A more westerly track will limit the snowfall totals due to rain changeover. If this westerly track were to play out than we would have a potentially historic ice storm on our hands.

If the system were to track slightly east than the coast would see a lot of snow with totals approaching a foot or more. This track is suggested by the GFS and WRF models

We will have to see what track plays out and I will post updates as needed.

Stay tuned

As of 5 Rina is a 50 mph tropical storm.

97L is re-organizing and has a 10%  chance of developing. I would agree.

98L is an extratropical low with some respical amount of convection

We will have to watch all of them.

The weekend storm Will hit in full glory saturday night. This storm will NOT go out to sea instead it will slam the region with HEAVY SNOW and VERY HIGH WINDS on saturday night!!!!!!!

We are under a winter storm watch.

Be prepared for heavy and blowing snow saturday night!

1. The rain/snow line is in whindam, springfield, montreal as of 8 pm EDT. The snow will add up to an inch at the coast. 1-3 in the foot hills and mountans.

2. The ocean storm this weekend will hit and produce some snow saturday and saturday night.

Stay tuned

Rina is a tropical storm with 60 mph winds and is not  well organized at all with almost no southern side and not super high cloud tops.

97L is devoid of convection and is not organized at all.

-Jack

Today will feature rain in the morning changing to snow as the day goes on. This changeover to snow will happen first in the mountains then the coast will get the white stuff later in the day.

As of 5 Rina is still a hurricane with 75 mph sustained winds. The system is very disorganized and only has a scap of an eyewall left. The storm is headed for the yucatan peninsula.

97L now does not even have a remote shot at developing. I agree.

-Jack

  Still active with a disorganized Rina, a shortwave over the US, 97L in the central carribean, and a powerful N atlantic storm by greenland

Well here we go. We have rain, some heavy moving in. This will help the cold air to filter down from the higher levels of the atmosphere. After a day of rain we will get some snow overnight. There will be no accumulation. The storm will be gone by Friday.

Stay tuned

-Jack

As I look at the models again I see that the storm tomorrow will be a little bigger than origionally thought. Not by much but this one will at least have some small accumulations. By small I mean >1-1 inch at the coast with 1-3 in the foothills and 2-4 in the larger mountains.

It looks like the storm previosly predicted to hit this weekend will stay out to sea.

Stay tuned
