I'm getting downpours right now. I don't know if the steady rain is going to be over western areas but we're still getting rainfall in the bucket with these pop-up variety showers

I'm just glad this isn't a snow event or we'd all be freaking out :lmao:

The radar also keeps filling in near the Jersey shore, eventually that stuff is going to make it onshore and at least some if it west of the city. If you have any doubts, just take a look at where the dew points are increasing. PW value are also the highest just south and east of the city.

the northern edge is sure, but you can see the heaviest stuff being supressed south, on some radar images it looks to be moving more clearly NW than others.

Yep....radar filling in offshore for everyone to have some fun soon.

(Of course as long as it makes ashore)

looks like some of the action is fading as it approaches the coast...

If you take a look, alot of the synoptic support features are located just off shore, but they are slowly advancing towards the coast. Give it time.

Infrared and water vapor loops both look healthy.

and it will keep fading at is had done all morning, there is a good bit of subsidence over the state.

This.

And as further evidence of it there are more pockets of brightening/clearing skies in central Jersey once again, eroding the cloud cover. So don't be surprised to see some sun and blue patches again.

The srefs are Meso Scale models but not hi resolution. Don't confuse the ensemble members of the ARW and NMM used in the sref mean for the actual hi resolution OP NMM and ARW

MesoScale = Hi Res.

Sweet Jesus this thread has been full of bickering all morning.

Higher resolution than a global, yes, but not the resolution of the ARW and NMM op. I should have been more clear about what I was saying.
