They were initially by some of the higher res models 2-3 days ago but they seem to have all been too far north with it and some even lost it on recent runs

Good call on the DPs yesterday . There were some busts in the Ohio valley today where the FRZ line was S of originally forecast .

36 degrees here in southern Brooklyn. Don't see the temps dropping much overnight even with the dew point at 19 now. Not sure how much evap cooling there will be. Besides, even if we do cool to 32 or a little below when the precip begins, surfaces should be too warm for any ice to form.

We might start off as sleet but quickly change to rain

As LongBeachSurfFreak said the wwa will likely be taken down for the coast. Our temps are not dropping if anything they've risen a degree in the last hour. With a sw wind and cloudy skies they have really have no chance of dropping!!!!!!!

I don't post much here in the NYC forum, but I do read is a lot. I had to respond to this because even back here in almost central PA, my temperature is actually rising slightly this evening. My backyard station is up to 31 degrees at the moment.

The HRRR keeps places like NYC and parts of LI below freezing through 9AM tomorrow, but warms places like DXR, OXC, MMK, HFD, BDL above freezing. I can't remember the last time DXR was above freezing with NYC below in situations like these, doesn't seem right.

I don't think i've ever seen it in my life where Pittsfield MA is rain & 34 while KNYC is below freezing. I cant even think of a scenario where that would be possible. I don't buy that for a second.

 

As for the current temp, there are various readings here between 34-28F oddly enough. But the dewpoint is below 20 which is encouraging. I think most of us start icy tomorrow as this low level cold might be hard to push out, especially with the snow on the ground.

Not having the NJ temp maps from climate.rutgers.edu is really making my life difficult. Anyone have a good alternative?

try the COD links

 I hope you like them

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF WV...CNTRL/NRN VA...WRN MD...AND FAR
SRN PA

CONCERNING...FREEZING RAIN

VALID 120150Z - 120745Z

SUMMARY...LIGHT RAIN WILL TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE
DISCUSSION AREA THROUGH 03Z...AND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION RATES MAY APPROACH .02 IN/HR.

DISCUSSION...CURRENT SFC OBS AS OF 01Z SHOW VERY DRY AIR REMAINS IN
PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF WV...CNTRL/NRN VA...WRN MD...AND FAR SRN PA.
00Z SOUNDINGS FROM RNK AND IAD ALSO DEPICT A DRY LAYER OF AIR
BETWEEN THE SFC AND 850 MB ASSOCIATED WITH A REMNANT SFC HIGH
PRESSURE/WEDGE NOW RETREATING EWD OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST. A LARGE
AREA OF LIGHT RAIN OCCURRING ACROSS WV AND CNTRL/NRN VA IS
ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE-SCALE LIFTING ATTENDANT TO A LOW-AMPLITUDE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE W. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL
CONTINUE TO MOISTEN THE DRY NEAR-SURFACE LAYER. WITH TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 30S...AND DEW POINTS IN THE TEENS TO
LOWER 20S...SFC WET BULB TEMPERATURES ARE...AND SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
32 DEGREES THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

RECENT REPORTS ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA SUGGEST THAT EVEN WITH AIR
TEMPERATURES STILL ABOVE FREEZING AS OF 01Z...PRECIPITATION IS
BEGINNING TO FREEZE...WHICH IS LIKELY DUE TO COLD GROUND
TEMPERATURES. WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND AS THE LIGHT RAIN
CONTINUES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...THE AIR TEMPERATURE SHOULD
CONTINUE TO COOL TO THE WET BULB TEMPERATURE...WHICH IS BELOW
FREEZING. FREEZING RAIN ACCUMULATIONS MAY INITIALLY BE LIGHT/SHOWERY

ADDITIONAL LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SPREADS IN FROM THE S/SW AND THE
COLUMN SATURATES...FREEZING RAIN RATES SHOULD EVENTUALLY
INCREASE...AND MAY APPROACH .02 IN/HR FOR A FEW HOURS OVERNIGHT.

Ding ding. Dews even along the coast are currently in the low 20s...

I respect the fact that you are a red tagged but do you really think ice will be an issue on the south shore?

No way in hell it's 36 currently with a nice wind off the water. This isn't like Friday with super cold air sitting just above the surface at 950. Some sleet at the beginning sure. But does that warrant a WWA? Maybe the nws took some heat over Friday. They must be in cya mode.
