The 850 low reforms just east of the NJ coast and then goes SE of LI. That's a nearly perfect track for the city to get heavy deformation snows.

Correct. 10 Miles north, and C NJ// South shore LI may have some initial sleet issues.

it's nice to see that this happened when all of the s/w's involved moved into the conus' domain

hmm where have we seen this before? The lack of precip and weak surface low depicted my models days ago did seem a little weird given the potential h5 set-up.

Can anyone explain to a novice why the western extent/gradient of the heavy precip is so steep?

That is the case with frictional convergence on the northwest side of the low, notice that rarely happens on the eastern side of the low. Of course that would mean rain there, and no one cares about rain gradients.

This is a Miller B system. The energy transfers and the system goes kaboom. That's the biggest thing to worry about... how quickly can that happen.

And also, of course, that this is the NAM beyond 48 hours ;)

So for South Central PA to get into the heavier stuff I guess I would want to see the initial s/w dig a little farther south so the coastal gets going quicker/further south and is drawn tight along the coast or slightly inland?
