Major Nor'easter

3/1/2018

Yes, a very significant storm is developing and will be impacting us later today through Friday night.  The impacts will be major for many in the NE USA.
  1. Rain: 1” + of rain. Poor drainage flooding possible in some areas with heavy downpours.
  2. Snow: Rain will change to snow Fri morning and continue into Friday night. Light accumulation is possible, esp. in the higher elevations.
  3. Winds: Very strong wind gusts will impact our area Fri afternoon and through Friday night
 
Question still to be answered:
  1. How far offshore will storm be when it pivots back to the SSW then SE? 
    1. The closer to the coast it is, the heavier our snow will be Fri afternoon and night. Don't think it will be heavy at this time. 
    2. Further offshore, the less snow we get. More likely but still uncertain. 


This forecast, outside of the snow aspect, is easy.  The snow question is a thorn in the side: it is dependent upon storm location, surface temperatures, precipitation rate. Elevation plays a role due to surface temperatures: The lowest and warmest valleys get the least, and the highest and coolest ridge tops get the most. Therefore, snow amounts could be quite variable ranging from a sloppy coating to several inches.  

If you are looking for lots of snow head north into the Poconos (12” +) or the Catskill Mountains (my backyard as a kid) (20” +).

The weekend will be seasonal and much nicer as the winds die down and the sun returns. And then maybe we do it all over again the middle of next week.
​
Until then enjoy.

    Pastor Terry. He received his bachelors degree in Meteorology from the State University of New York at Oneonta, in 1994. The education continued as a hobby by reading the blogs of some of the best forecasters in the business. Although forceasting the weather is an imperfect science, it is a pleasure to follow what the Creator has made.
