Thanks. Sounds like a very supressed system or flood of warm air.

850s are cold. Surface warms up but not alot. 925 is warm.  Need the surface to be colder than what the euro shows. Still have a little time to figure it out. I doubt the surface temps will be warm considering how the temps are now and how weak the low is going to be.

That is my very thought as well.. Surface is not terribly warm however..

850s cold but not the surface. Weird.

Guys surface winds are all from the south this is why we are torching at the surface for many hours before the precip comes in.. The weak low is still passing well to our west. It's seems logical that this is the outcome per this model output.. Two weeks ago the winds were from the NE on that borderline event..

Its a strong south fetch behind the departing high, with a source region well south of the area, where temps are way above freezing. It doesn't take much, even now.

People forget that the Gulf Stream never really allows far offshore waters to drop much below the 50s. A nice southerly flow will pull that air north

Yes and we will warm up no question but during the front end thump I do think the models are too warm at the surface. The warm up would occur after the heavy precip has passed as this event is reminiscent of a SWFE. 

 

A lot also has to do with the strength of the low. The weaker and progressive it is, the better for the region as less warmth gets drawn north.

I think it's going to take a lot for this to be more than a couple of inches near the coast.

 

If the snow comes in fast and furious at 18Z there will be some big amounts from MD up into this area, the Euro mostly pushes the higher QPF in the 18-03Z window NW of the area, the other models do not really do that, while the UKMET and RGEM have plenty of heavier snow in Upstate NY and N PA like the Euro they also generate a bunch of snow more SE of that in our area which the Euro does not.  I think its likely rain after 03Z for immediate coastal areas I could see over 6 inches prior to that in some areas if this gets in at 18Z, if its not in til 21-22Z it could easily only be 1 or 2 inches.
