NAM is quicker and wetter this needs to be watch.  I will wait to the 12Z runs tomorrow before I decide is this is the right model.  Not so simple forward any more I was convince the NAM would run drier this run.

 

I think the higher RES models may start giving us some help, the SPC WRF has not had its best year to date so far but I'm intrigued to see its 36 hour panel on tonight's 00Z run and its 24-36 hour forecast on tomorrow's 12Z run, if it looks more NAM like assuming the Euro/GFS don't start generating more precip by then I'll be increasingly convinced.  Also will have the RGEM out to 48 hours tonight too.

RGEM had nailed this first wave this far... Very curious to see its 0z run

 

Its not as optimistic as the NAM from 42-48 hours but its also markedly more optimistic than the 12Z GFS was showing snow just south of NYC at 00Z, you could argue it does show snow over us but I think thats just a leading edge of probably virga.

Only reason at all that the secondary system may have some merit is that the 00Z NAM was notably far west with it too at 84 hours, west of even the GFS position, its entirely possible that because this Sunday system may ultimately end up with way less a surface reflection than pegged 2-3 days back the next wave will have a chance at impacting us, but I'll wait on the Euro or the ensembles first.

At least the third wave would have some mid-level support with it. The 500mb vorticy maps have nothing at all for Monday's event, but are more promising for the potential third wave. 00z GFS has 4-6" for Philly and surrounding area. 2-4" for just about everyone else outside of the extreme northern folks like northern Rockland north.

The 12z Euro ensembles were all way south and east with the mean showing very little precip, and only for the immediate coast.
