1" qpf is 3" sleet i believe. I still would sell on anything less than 5" for your area with sleet/snow totals. I mean if this keeps back nw, dif story, but as of now thats what I would say.
I'd feel better for my locale if we could get a tick or two east, but im not sure thats going to happen. This system is loaded with convection. As I mentioned to @DeltaT13 that when you have all that convection it can help intensify downstream ridging and help the system go further west
I like the numbers for buf to roc per nws, not sure yet about syr and my locale, I think sleet is going to be an issue. I think we ping and dry slot. The back side could match what happens in the front part of the system
Yes, but like I said, globals will not be able to see warm layers properly due to lower resolution unlike meso models. But I wouldn’t use mesos until tomorrow night
