    Mesoscale Discussion 0101
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0948 AM CST Tue Feb 12 2019

    Areas affected...central and eastern PA...northern NJ...central and
    eastern NY...CT...western MA and southern VT

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

    Valid 121548Z - 121945Z

    SUMMARY...A wintry precipitation mix will persist into the afternoon
    across the northeast states. Mostly freezing rain is expected from
    central to southeast PA with rates from .03 to locally .1 inch per
    hour. From southern NY to southeast NY and northern NJ, areas of
    moderate to heavy snow should transition to freezing rain toward
    noon or by early afternoon. Farther north from east central NY into
    northern CT, western MA and southern VT, areas of mostly moderate to
    heavy snow are expected.

    DISCUSSION...A large, mature winter storm is in progress over
    portions of the northeast states. Surface low will deepen over MI
    within zone of strong forcing for ascent accompanying a progressive
    shortwave trough. This process will result in a strengthening (60+
    kt) southerly low-level jet shifting northward through PA, NY and
    southern New England later this morning into the afternoon. The
    interaction of the low level jet with the east-west oriented
    baroclinic zone will augment isentropic ascent, promoting a
    continued northeast expansion of the precipitation area. Bands of
    moderate to heavy snow promoted by an increase in frontogenetic
    forcing will develop northeast with time through central and eastern
    NY. While farther south from southern NY, northeast PA into northern
    NJ and southern CT, increasing warm advection along low-level jet
    corridor will contribute to northward advance of the melting layer
    aloft, eventually resulting in a transition from snow to sleet and
    freezing rain. Precipitation should remain freezing rain across
    central and southern PA this morning.
