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.

 

 

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. 

 

Thanks.

 

In that case this could be one of those events  that the vertical pointing spectral width plots are interesting... they illustrate the height and depth of those warm layers pretty well as the transitions occur and are good to match up with the interpolated soundings.

i don't see anything in the GFS that screams it's wrong. i was actually "surprised" (ignoring the fact that the model sucks) to see how cold the NAM was. the euro was on the colder side of things too though. i think it'll tick warmer. hopefully not but flow would suggest it can.

 

Also pretty consistent tread of the cold air not getting as far south in advance.  The first wave failing isn't helping either, not helping to drag anything south.

 

Saw Will's comment on the other thread, nobody should be surprised by the weekend the models have been in general agreement for days that we would have a mildup in advance.  What's changed is the first cold shot is muting but that shouldn't be a surprise.  I would keep a close eye on something developing this weekend around the timing of the cold air.

 

Hoping the Euro is colder, but like Phil said I think this one is destined to deliver further north.

Re this system Wednesday.

The old pattern is not goi g out without a fight. And we knew a step down. Stepping down to a snowstorm in sne with the cold too far west is tough when eastern areas are so hot today.

there's definitely some truth to that. especially considering we don't ever really scour out this garbage. it's a slow process.
