Mid-level problems for the south coast on the GFS.

 

Yeah it's really a fine line.  I agree with you that we're going to see it trend north which means borderline areas (me) are going to get wet, and areas that feel they're solidly in the snow now may end up wet/borderline.

 

Further north wave is going to mean the cold air didn't get as far south, JMHO.  Good deal for many though (for the Wednesday wave, not the one that misses OTS tonight and Tuesday)

definitely would prefer a flatter wave. anything amped like that is going to be a fail outside of maybe NW CT and then GC over to Will.

Totally agree.

Do you think sleet is really in play in this type of setup?  There's no real surface CAD nor amped up mid-level low cutting...  I would think it's either rain with a torched BL or else snow.

 

 

The soundigns on GFS show a colder layer underneath 850mb when I look at the BDL sounding, so there could def be some sleet in this. It wouldn't be a peppering sleet like Vday '07 or anything, but transitional sleet could happen. Usually though the 900-950 layer eventually warms too and goes to light rain before ending.

Man I was hoping coastal areas could get snow on this one instead of just inland. Lets see how Euro looks

we'll have to see how amped this gets. if it ends up flatter it'll be frozen pretty far south...sort of a wildcard zone along the shore. but anything like what the GFS shows or what the UKMET has going, it's not even a question down here and the wildcard area becomes CT/RI/Interior SE MA. it would be wagons N.

there's a bit of a wedge of cooler air that hangs in the lowest few thousand feet so it's possible that some areas could have a bit of sleet i think.
