sorry to be "that guy" but what's happening now is what i was afraid of, with the rain/no rain line setting up just to my west

i know we'll all get in on the heavy stuff later, but the models had such a sharp cut-off around Philly I was afraid something like this would happen...

Look to the SW, the whole thing is pivoting NE right at us. It's hardly raining in DC now, while it's been pouring for a while there. West of us may be getting more now, but our time is coming. Don't let your guard down.

It looks like the hi-res guidance cuts down on amounts in SE PA also with most spitting out 2" avg. You seem disappointed that we might avoid an absolute worst-case scenario? Not a homeowner I assume?

That's fine with me. I could do without the flooding.

12z NAM cuts rainfall amounts even more...pushes the max zone to extreme NE PA and drops much of the 3"+ totals. Based on raw maps, looks like just under 2" now for SE PA on this model....big shift from some of the 4-5" totals guidance was spitting out yesterday. Still gonna be some flooding across a good chunk of PA but it looks like we'll dodge a bullet in terms of "historic" flooding.

@ this point and time, i would stop using the nam.gfs models and start nowcasting.

Worcester,PA. .68 of rain so far. I think it is interesting how "snow" driven this board is. As some one mentioned earlier if this was snow the the board would be going nuts. This is just rain and yet the potential for property damage is "X" times that of snow. I like snow myself, but the "impact" of this could well out weigh a snowstorm. I agree the snow probably has a greater overall effect as everyone is impacted, but for those with basements, living near streams, rivers, etc. this could be huge. Even the evening commute could be a flooded highway event. And yet the board remains very very quite. Not much talk of wind, but if it kicks ups with the ground saturated - goodbye some trees. (and thus power outages). That could happen later today.

I hope we're out of this pattern soon, even if it means heat! I don't think anyone would like it 2 months from now to have it raining and temps in the 50's.

That happens often in May.

Though if this same pattern was happening in May instead of now, it'd probably be at least in the 60s, if not the lower 70s.
