current radar would indicate that the heaviest rain is not going to be over LI, but from the city westward into NE NJ. Someone with geographical enhancement probably sees the most rain with West Milford or someone in Orange County probably coming in ontop. Far Western LI looks to be getting in on some decent convection at the moment.

Radar shows otherwise at the moment.

Long Island the winner this morning along with northern Westchester and extreme SW CT.

rain over central LI will be ending before noon as the focus shifts futher westward.

Its pretty clearly seen here.

Edit: The back line is filling in a tad, woud be cool if the whole thing consolidated into a super band and was wide enough to get us all.

We are discussing TODAY. not tomorrow. Todays bullseye appears to be Queens, Nassau, Western Suffolk and SWCT:

you can discuss today, I'll discuss the entire multi day event. We don't even have a seperate thread up, quite frankly I could be discussing the weather for Memorial Day right now and that would be on topic.

seriously, no one here has mentioned anything beyond today for the axis of heaviest precip. These events are too unpredictable to go out more than 12-24 hours.

We were discussing today's bullseye and how it shifted east and is now for LI, based on current radar. And new NAM confirms it.

Thats all. Yesterday's models, including euro, had the heaviest rains for today over NJ. But based on the current radar and now the 12z NAM, it appears its all shifted east by about 50 miles.

a certain someone needs to stop mentioning my name each and everytime this area is forecasted to see heavy rain.

If I changed my name to floodfan85 and said I hope that we get 30" of rain and the world ends would that make you happy?

seriously, I wish there was a way to block someone so that you never saw any of there posts. That would make me very happy.

second batch getting organized, should take the same approach. The heavy stuff over the city sat for a while but moved north pretty quick out of LI and SW CT. Lets see if the second batch hangs around longer.

i think there is an ignore function which does exactly that

Although, I'd suspect the same to be true for tomorrow and thereafter, if trends are considered. I think there will be a max just east/northeast of NYC, and another area west of NJ, in Eastern PA, when all is said and done. I'd wager that most of NJ (particularly central/southern NJ) will be in-between the heaviest/banding precip much of the week.

The 12z NAM still keeps the heaviest rain north and west of the city when things are all said and done. I wish we could stop discussing this thing like its a contest. When you start talking about widespread 2.5" amounts and greater, it doesn't really matter who gets the heaviest stuff. Downpouring once again here in Ramsey, like its been doing on and off all morning.

Appears that way based on 00Z Hi Res runs, lets see what 12z says. Already the Hi Res' are doing the best with this mornings bands.

Duly noted.

In another view, there is some clearing, or at least thinning of the clouds taking place. Visible satellite says some pokes of sun within the next few hours in some places in back of the line that is over Long Island. I bet no one thought NYC would see sun today.
