"Warm" is all relative.  Surface temps will be anywhere from 32-40F, my safest bet.  It's the warmth that comes in just above the surface that's the problem.

Right, which is why the map make no sense.

Why the longitudinal gradient?

That reflects BL issues...

NAM barely gets the 850 past me, EURO never does.  If the 850 stays below Whomever in this case, does that mean no worse than Freezing Rain / Sleet?  Or with the warmth below it still could very well mean plain rain.   

If anything, this should be more of a latitdudinal gradient...

Sub 540 thicknesses imply the 900 down warming is bogus

 

I don't think that's true. I do think it warms up on southerly winds - but near the sfc we probably rot at 32 through 12z. 

 

Once we start to mix a bit though we should be able to warm up nicely to low 40s during the day Sunday.

Maybe the longitudinal gradient is more reflective of elevation vs coastal taint.

I get that, but why is the CV not impacted?

 

Looks more pure longitudinal

 

Even elevation doesn't really make much difference in a SWFE because the warmth is ABOVE the BL.

I thought precip would be done by then, no?

Right, but damage is done by then....I gain about 4", then lose 2".

It is during this time that elevation will probably make a difference, but again....storm is over by then.

Up by you, yes.  You're N of BOS closer to the retreating antecedent cold air.  The issue is along the I-90 pike area and points S of it.

Ill take the way under on that. Low 40's? You're crazy. Low - mid 30's tops under low clouds
