I don't know how reliable these instantweathermaps.com maps are, but they are indicating via the 06Z GFS 60 mph wind gusts over Long Island at 03Z Sunday.

Yea a lot of people might be downplaying or simply not paying attention to the wind threat. I think coastal areas could see strong winds but a lot will have to do with whether the lp undergoes bombogenesis and rapidly strengthens. We know there is great confluence to the north (one of the reasons why I am not worried about the warmth inland) and the gradient that will result could create strong winds and coastal erosion. I just hope the winds don't get to the interior areas, because that would be a bad mix with a heavy wet snowfall. It would result in numerous problems.

A couple of interesting developments on the 06Z RGEM:

A norlun trough at hour 36 should aid in the development of heavy snows in C PA. On Monday I was looking to see if Penn State was playing on Saturday. Thankfully they are at 3:30 P.M. Should be an absolute beauty.

The model also prints out nearly 3.00" in a six hour period over NYC. Obviously overdone, but as I said before, in my opinion, flood watches should be hoisted for NYC and nearby environs.

In addition, there is probably enough evidence for wind advisory criteria being met over coastal locations Saturday night, with Long Island maybe meeting high wind criteria. If this were an all snow storm, this would easily meet blizzard criteria.

A few things going on here. It's good to see the NAM and Euro essentially have the same solution right now--especially with the Euro repeating it's solution from it's earlier 12z run.

That said, the GEFS continue to go west...the GFS is responding and doesn't seem to have any intentions of backing off. Seeing the SREF tick that way are a little concerning.
