what do they mean by this-are they just implying that more area's could see more frozen precip?
comments?

TUESDAY STORM LOOKING INTERESTING. LATEST ECMWF STARTING TO LOOK
LIKE GFS WITH RAPID REDEVELOPMENT ALONG THE COAST AND QUICK PINCHING
OFF OF WARM AIR TONGUE...PROB DUE TO WHAT IS IMPLIED AS A PERIOD OF
INTENSE UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AS SYSTEM GOES NEGATIVE AND SFC LOW
STARTS TO DEEPEN RAPIDLY NEAR THE COAST.

yes that would imply more widespread wintry precip. as the system goes to the coast and the inland running low colapses, the cold air is forced to quickly rush in toward the re-developing low along the coast. additionally, the strong UVM would cool the coulum resulting in mostly snow if temps are near freezing throughout a deep layer of the vertical column. kind of like what we saw this week.
