1/30-31/2007 Clipper: My Thoughts

#1 Postby donsutherland1 » Tue Jan 30, 2007 10:44 am

Model consistency has been reasonably good. In my view, a light snowfall is likely from the northern Mid-Atlantic into southern and central New England. Outside of southern and central New England, snowfall amounts should come to less than an inch. There, a coating is possible, but not assured.

Estimates:
Albany: Less than an inch
Boston: 1"-3"
Hartford: 1"-2"
New York City: Less than an inch
Newark: Less than an inch
Philadelphia: Less than an inch
Providence: 1"-3"
Worcester: 1"-3"

At 10:45 pm, two bands of light to moderate snow were moving through New Jersey. One was east-southeast of Trenton and another was nearing Plainfield. Earlier, a burst of moderate snow brought a quick coating to Allentown. The ground in some of New York City's suburbs has also been dusted by snow.

So far, the clipper remains on track and the snowfall estimates appear to be in line with what is happening. Therefore, no changes are in order.
