I doubt they were "thinking" at all -- they took a quick peek at the 12z GFS run and copied it to the zones, more than likely. I love this quote:

THE NEXT MAJOR STORM COMING IN MON NGT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SURGE OF WARM AIR AHEAD OF IT ON A 60 KT 8H LLJ. MOST OF THE STORM WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN.

They sound so sure of themselves -- "it WILL be in the form of rain and be accompanied by a surge of warm air" -- NOT "one of the models suggests it will..." -- gimme a break. They then go on to ramble about possible flooding due to all the melting snow and warm air. This NWS office must be particularly bad because even LWX is including rain OR snow (a wise decision from this far out), and we're farther south. Let's remember that concern they had about massive melting next week when, more than likely, PHL will be in the 30's or lower, possibly dealing with more wintry precipitation.

Unless this storm tracks up the App Mtns, I don't see how it is going to be a rain event for my area. And if it is supposed to track up the Apps, I would have a few questions - Is the NAO going neutral or positive? Did the Greenland block break down?

Remember the mods tend to underforecast Cold Air Damming.

It could however be a mix (i.e., frzra/sleet) for the MA because of a warmer mid-layer, but probably not an all-rain event.

Oh please, how many times this far out has the GFS eroded the cold air. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count on. Just wait and see by the time the weekend rolls around.

agree--hopefully we can squeeze out some snow but a mix is most likely...but who knows at this point...the less the the cutting towards the lakes the better--hopefully the whole thing would just track south and east.

I agree completely. NWS Mt Holly should be ashamed of this attempt at a forecast.

OK, I confess just trying to stir the pot. :lol: The GFS is on crack BUT it's not the only model showing rain for the upper MA.
