The NAM is still showing the potential for a heavier band, which looks to be near PHL then to Ocean/Monmouth counties. The 700 mb frontogenetic forcing looks better then at 850 mb, however both really get going as it shifts east of the NJ coast.

That is some serious lift the nam starts as you said over the phl area and really gets going around acy

Every so often I'm gonna put that "Go Home NAM, You are drunk" graphic back up ;)

You just as well should add the RGEM to that kegger. 6z has Central, South Jersey over 15mm, now 12Z has cut that back to less than half! I cannot remember a time when forecasting models were this bad with cutting back QPF right before events as a whole than this year.

12z run has very little and matches the euro.

And it's the upgraded Rgem, which started today.

Seems like the thing which may prevent this from being a more significant system is the primary hanging on too long, preventing the secondary from getting going until its too late.  As noted some place may still get a stripe of decent snow, but if the energy transferred faster heavier snow might be more widespread.

Sorry NAM.

 

From HPC:

 

...SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS THE NRN MID-ATLANTIC
AND SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WED NIGHT...

PREFERENCE:  NON NAM COMPROMISE
CONFIDENCE:  ABOVE AVERAGE

THE NAM HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY QUICKER WITH THIS FEATURE OVER THE
PAST 24 HRS OF RUNS...AND ITS SURFACE LOW REMAINS DEEPER AND A BIT
NORTH OF MOST GUIDANCE EARLY THU MORNING. THE NAM SFC LOW IS NEAR
40N AT 12Z/14. THE GFS IS ALSO ON THE NRN EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE BUT
REMAINS SOUTH OF THE NAM WITH LITTLE TRENDING SHOWN OVER THE PAST
24 HRS OF GFS RUNS. GIVEN TIGHT ENSEMBLE SPAGHETTI LOW PLOT
CLUSTERING SOUTH OF 40N AT 12Z/14...A NON-NAM COMPROMISE IS
RECOMMENDED.

Maybe some of the other mets/forecasters can comment but it looks like an unstable layer in the SGZ 2-6z across the central and southern portions of the region (per GFS). It might be brief and the low level temps may be marginal at best but it certainly is an eye-catching sounding. Too bad the best frontogenesis takes shape offshore but there is still +frontgen across the area for a time.

Take the amounts with a grain of salt, but could be what the RAP* is picking up on. (again, take amounts with a grain of salt)

The HRRR is as enthusastic with amounts, but still highlights the same area.

Yesterday it looked kind of disjointed with the best fgen forcing and qvec convergence over Delmarva and Southeast NJ.  Alot of wasted energy changing the rain to snow.

I believe this will kinda screw (?) areas from Harrisburg to Lancaster with snow developing west of Harrisburg, fizzling out over those areas, and then coming in stronger to my east over Chester County to the shore.  Living in this area only a brief time has taught me a few things about these systems over the past few months.  I would want to be along 195 in NJ for the best snow in my opinion.
