LOL. It just has no cold really. Maybe some lighter snows to ORH. Oh man, that would be classic. 

I so hope this happens for shear fascination of it ... but just a CH of correction on the Euro is a 12-15" blizzard, then ... look at this warm front barely 2 days later!

That sucker's totin' 70+ no question ...it would be really amazing to see that air mass punch into that

Was just about to post...could see a decent low topped squall line signal here Wednesday. Some big timing differences but looks like some pretty steep lapse rates and unseasonably moist llvl theta-e advecting up the coast. Could see severe risk as far north as northern New Jersey

found this kind of interesting from a discussion down south..  I thought this was a thing of the past?

Overnight, the system weakens a
bit, but spreads over all of our area with showers based on the
00Z GFS. The 06Z is a little less certain with coverage, so we
will wait on the 12Z. This is why we launch balloons twice a day
to cover the cool and hot charts. Off hour runs should always be
taken with a grain of salt.

It's a stigma that just won't go away. But I mean how many people out there are creating forecasts based off of 6z/18z runs? I would probably wager not many...well maybe in the Pacific/Alaskan/Hawaiian time zones. But for the most part, by the time the 6z/18z runs start coming out, most forecasts are probably already complete...maybe if there is potential for local storm impact there are some tweaks made. Maybe 6z/18z are used more for the nowcast/short-term

Been saying this for a long time…but was told it’s not true anymore. Now NWS says it is lol.
