Once again going to have some timing issues to contend with as well as other issues but right now this does seem to favor more of PA/NY than southern New England. However, the past few events we have seen timing speed by by several hours as we got closer to the event so something to keep an eye on with this system. Another potent early season system though!

Not sure whether this deserves it's own thread, although some of us are in or near yet another day 3 slight risk. Nam is a lot faster with the Saturday frontal passage than 00z. Maybe it reaches CT while there's still remnant instability? In this case the LLJ does not look to be as strong as the past few events, but there should still be a good amount of directional shear and the U/L winds will be ripping pretty good. It's hard to expect anything around here but the same ol' NY/EPA/NWNJ/SW CT favored spots might pull something and the trend is at least in the right direction.

This might not actually be a bad thing!

latest sref even more amped on sig tor with 20% over E NY. not sure how much to buy it verbatim tho. instability looks iffy up into that core. would perhaps lean se ny/ne pa/n nj for better risk. looks like it's going to be linear anyway.. could just be wasted parameters.

Lapse rates from 0-1.5 KM look really good, though, and the SB CAPE looks decent.

KMSV sounding valid 18z, Saturday. Which is Monticello, NY or Sullivan County International Airport. 0-1 km helicity could be a bit higher but considering the 850mb to 700mb lapse rates and ML CAPE is not too bad, the updraft can actually rise above the 1 km layer and maybe utilize the better 0-3 km helicity for a few tornadoes? 700mb to 500mb lapse rates are putrid, but I'm hoping the okay 850mb to 700mb can be enough to make up for that. And as stated before, 0-1.5 km lapse rates are excellent. And the higher tops might mean more downward transport for a stronger downdraft as well.
