Regarding a thump, the NAO is flexing its muscles a bit and the h7 actually looks pretty primed over the NYC metro araa. It appears CNJ/NYC is becoming the battle ground, which bodes well for higher end snow for those areas (SENY, CT, NNJ, perhaps CNJ)

It would really suck if the time of day screws people over.  Probably would be beneficial were this coming in 12 hours earlier or later, but that's what we got.

By late Monday, warm advection precipitation will begin to spread northeast from the upper Ohio Valley into western and central Pennsylvania and New York by the evening hours. Cold high pressure centered over eastern Canada and extending southeast into the northeastern U.S. will support a wintry mix for parts to western to central Pennsylvania and New York, with mostly snow farther north and east Monday evening. The system is forecast to begin to shear to the east as it interacts with the confluent flow over the northeastern U.S. As it does, energy will begin to transfer to a low developing near the northern Mid Atlantic coast Monday night. This will help to lock the cold air in place, while drawing moisture into a region of enhanced lift supported in part by low-to-mid level frontogenesis on the north to northwest side of the low. This may support mesoscale banding, raising the threat for some locally heavier totals especially for interior portions of southern New York and New England Tuesday morning. This secondary low is expected to quickly slide off to the east on Tuesday. However, precipitation will continue across parts of the Northeast as an upstream shortwave moves from the Great Lakes across the Northeast. This will support additional snows spreading northeast across eastern Upstate New York and New England through late Tuesday into Wednesday. Onshore flow and perhaps a weak wave developing over the Gulf of Maine may help to bolster additional totals across southern Maine Tuesday night. Widespread storm total accumulations of 4 inches are likely from the Poconos and northern New Jersey, through much of eastern Upstate New York, and into the interior portions of southern to central New England. Accumulations of 6 inches or more most likely across Catskills, southern portions of the Adirondacks, and the White Mountains.

The surface low will march east through the Lower Great Lakes and direct its strong layer of WAA in the 925-850-700mb layers into the northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Monday evening. The Canadian high is in a slightly better position to provide sufficiently cold enough temperatures to support snow from northern PA and upstate NY into New England. The 00Z HREF did show a band of snowfall capable of producing >1"/hr snowfall rates (max probabilities between 60-80%) from the Finger Lakes and just south of the Tug Hill Plateau to the Catskills and Berkshires Monday evening. As a frontal wave forms off the NJ coast, a wave of low pressure will deepen along it and track east, positioning itself by early Tuesday morning south of Long Island. It is during this window (Monday night into early Tuesday) that Atlantic moisture funneling around the north side of the surface low can lead to a more prolonged period of banded snowfall from the Tri-State area to southern New England early Tuesday morning. Given the timing of when the periods of snow occur, this will likely lead to reduced visibility and slick travel conditions on roadways for the Tuesday AM commute. The PWSSI does show a large footprint of >90% probabilities for Minor impacts Monday night into Tuesday AM over the Lower Hudson Valley and across much of CT. Meanwhile, there are 60% probabilities for Moderate impacts in the Catskills, portions of the Poconos, and near the Hartford metro area. This is largely due to the Snow Rate algorithm, which suggests the potential for quick snowfall accumulations and poor visibility. Latest WPC PWPF does show 60-70% probabilities for >6" of snowfall in the mountain ranges (Poconos, Catskills, Adirondacks, Tug Hill, Berkshires, Green, White Mountains) for the event, suggesting some localized areas could see snow totals up to a foot. Probabilities are 60-80% for >4" from the Tri-State area to CT and RI, with localized areas >6" possible.

On the cusp of snowfall 🥹, guilty of loss of enthusiasm. Been a rough winter with the SER destroying everything once we get within 5 days. Makes it hard to put anything on the platter farther out this year.   

Another good fluff layer for the mountains of the NE, also some snow starved will see snow from this.
