12z NAM really wants to flip to snow for a couple of hours around 03Z in NYC area.  It'll be a race with the backend of the precip.

The actual front is still hung over western PA and is expected to continue to slow as it interacts with the strengthening LLJ per Mt. Holly AFD. I think we do flip to snow for a few hours before it all ends.

INGREDIENTS COMING TOGETHER FOR HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG COLD FRONT COMBINES WITH ANOMALOUSLY HIGH MOISTURE....PW VALUES ABOUT 1.5 INCHES...AND BOTH LOW- AND UPPER- LEVEL JET DYNAMICS. THERE ARE TWO AREAS OF RAIN THIS MORNING...SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN LI AND CT...ASSOCIATED WITH A 60 TO 70 KT LOW-LEVEL JET THAT REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...AND THEN THE FRONTAL BAND ACROSS EASTERN PA AND WESTERN NJ. THE AREA WILL FILL BETWEEN THESE TWO AREAS AS THE MAIN BAND WORKS EAST AT ABOUT 30 MPH. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS A NICE PLUME OF MOISTURE INTERSECTING THE FRONT,,,ORIGINATING OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEX. THUS...HAVE RAISED RAINFALL TOTALS BY ABOUT A 1/4 INCH IN MOST LOCATIONS...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS NEAR 2 INCHES ACROSS EASTERN LI AND MUCH OF CT...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER AMOUNTS WEST. THE THREAT OF URBAN AND LOW LYING FLOODING IS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...EXPECTING ISOLATED THUNDER WITH GUSTY WIND AS LOW LEVELS WINDS ARE POTENTIALLY BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE...POTENTLY FOR WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH. GUST UP TO 40 MPH WILL BE COMMON THIS AFT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.

The timing of the overcast ahead of the front couldn't have been any worse last night. We'd been dealing with some transparent high clouds all night and then the main cloud shield came in around 230 as the moon was only halfway eclipsed. I wish the  high clouds stuck around for another 30 minutes...would have made for some awesome photography.
