Completely missed CT and got areas wedged lol. 

Yeah isn’t that something. Pretty bizarre. Have to go back and re-assess everything. Pretty wild it just split and died into CT. Going to guess what helped northern sections was maybe being closer to the s/w forcing and down into NJ they had higher dewpoints.

Pretty good s/w forcing for us though. NAM did have better MU CAPE north.

I think the plume of steeper apse rates was north which may have helped with the better MUCAPE north. Maybe the southern batch robbed what moisture was available farther north? The models though were pretty consistent in nailing the areas that got nailed. I thought we would at least see something better across western MA and western CT. But overall, a pretty decent event down into NJ/DE.

Did cold SSTs have any effect dampening the convection?

I don't think so because even moving into eastern NY the line didn't have any juice. Wondering if there was maybe some subsidence or maybe an enhanced area of dry air? I know when I was looking at this initially some days back some soundings within the region had a quite a bit of dry air (which of course was associated with the dry slot) with enhanced moisture convergence along the front.

Subsidence and Meh day time heating I think. Also not a lot of humidity
