Possible NYC snow Wed Night or Thursday

The surface is at least +4C at that frame. No way it's snow.

 

The models cannot account for evaporative cooling in these marginal events, its roughly 35/28 when the precip commences on the GFS soundings at FRG/JFK/ISP and winds are NE..from then on no layer other than the surface is above freezing, thats a snow event if it unfolded exaclty as the GFS shows.

Its falling snow as per 850 temps but surface temps look to be in the mid 30's.  QPF over .75".    I can only wishcast for accumulating snow on grassy areas and car tops during the overnight period..

NYC will get down to 32/32 if they get into heavy snow bands with the 850mb temps shown on the 0z GFS. Models often show snow at 33-35F when in reality the whole column will go isothermal at 0C with the dynamics from the developing low and the phase.

That's the GFS, we're discussing the UKMET.

If you all want to believe it's snow, then fine by me. This isn't going to hold anyway.

The 0z Ukie is in between the 12z Euro and 0z GFS. It's definitely a little tight to the coast for comfort, but it's still a good dump for much of the area. It's unlike the GFS, however, in that Long Island is probably mixed with rain.
