now we can get 6-12" steve herman 610 sewall ave ____________________________________ From: r...@tristatestormwatch.com To: asburyst...@aol.com Sent: 2/7/2013 3:09:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time Subj: Weather Update - 2/7 2PM - Snowfall amounts revised upward
MAJOR NOR'EASTER LIKELY FRIDAY, FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING HIGH WINDS FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING SNOW EARLY FRIDAY CHANGES TO MIX/RAIN AND THEN CHANGES TO HEAVY SNOW LATER FRIDAY AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY SATURDAY GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE MORE IMPRESSIVE WITH THE STORM......FORECAST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS INCREASING THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 7TH - 2PM UPDATE Forecast guidance continues to be more impressive with the impending Nor'Easter. Stronger energy in both jet streams and favorable phasing are all pointing towards a colder solution and more precipitation for our area. Precipitation will be moving in Friday morning as snow or a mix along the coast. The change to rain now looks to be only for a brief period north of I-78 and just outside of NYC. The change to rain will occur in central and south NJ and the change back to snow should still follow the times outlined this morning...perhaps an hour earlier. Once the rain changes to snow, the guidance is really spitting out some very intense snowfall rates tomorrow night. There may be several hours of 2 to 3 inch snowfall rates along with heavy blowing and drifting. End time for the snow will still be a couple of hours on either side of sunrise on Saturday. The snowfall accumulations are revised upward as follows: Monmouth/northern Ocean and the remainder of the northern half of NJ - 6 to 12 inches. Northeast corner of NJ east of I-287 and north of I-280 including all of NYC - 12 to 18 inches Southern Burlington/Southern Ocean/Philly/North of AC Expressway - 4 to 8 inches South of AC Expressway - 2 to 5 inches THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 7TH Big coastal storm still on track for Friday through Saturday morning. Its time to get more specific with timing and snow amounts. Snow or a mix of snow and sleet will begin in the early morning hours between 5am and 8am. This precipitation will not be heavy and should not cause much in the way of problems for the morning rush hour. As the day progresses on Friday precipitation will change over to plain rain, with the exception being the area north of I-80 where 1 to 2 inches of snow may accumulate during the day on Friday. Elsewhere, there will be little or no snow accumulation during the day on Friday Winds will be on the increase during the day on Friday, but again, during the daylight hours conditions will not be bad. As we approach late afternoon and evening, any rain will be changing to snow from west to east. The changeover is going to occur very close to the evening rush hour, particularly in northern NJ. The entire region should be snowing by 7pm or 8pm and the snow will become heavy, temperatures will fall back into the 20s and the winds will cause blowing and drifting. Travel during Friday night is discouraged. Snow will end a couple of hours before sunset in the western part of NJ/Philly and just after sunrise in eastern NJ/NYC South of I-80 where the precipitation will be rain on Friday, the changeover to snow will occur from west to east starting between 3pm and 5pm and making its way to the coastline between 6pm and 8pm. Here are the estimated snow accumulations for Friday night: Monmouth/northern Ocean and the remainder of the northern half of NJ/southern sections of NYC - 4 to 8 inches Northeast corner of NJ east of I-287 and north of I-280/northern and eastern sections of NYC - 8 to 12 inches Southern Burlington/Southern Ocean/Philly/north of the AC Expressway - 2 to 5 inches South of AC Expressway - 1 to 3 inches Winds will gust to 50mph Friday night. Minor coastal flooding is likely overnight Friday. Saturday will see clearing skies with windy conditions in the morning, slowly subsiding by afternoon.
