Euro has the 850 low into NY state with the 850 WF just off south coast. You want 12”+ then you really want to see closed 850 to our south. Not always the case…but it’s something to keep in mind and a reality check.
I think so. Coast in particular ern MA may have gusts to 30kt a or so. Nothing insane. Perhaps this gets strong if the low comes closer or becomes more intense than currently modeled. Interior west of any CF will have light winds and stack up.
