I don't trust that radar. It's obviously wrong or it would be raining where I am already. The accuwx radar seems more accurate as it doesn't show much activity at all near the city.

That radar loop looks like it needs to be refreshed, rain is already approaching the city

If I were in Upton's boots, I'd consider changing tomorrow's forecast to a less pessimistic mostly cloudy with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Also Thursday, some of the guidance is now waning on the precip and cloud cover, I would expect it to be partly sunny with temps around 70. IMO, I just don't see the abundant rainfall happening in most locales. Isolated flooding? Sure. Widespread? Probably not. Then again, if you're near a river the effects can travel downstream and be an impact independent of whether it rains torrents over your house. We'll see though, but my unprofessional guess from observations and model trends has this more of a hit and miss flooding situation rather than a widespread deluge.

Thereafter... sizzle.gif

I agree, I think the big shots of rain are over after the last band tonight which is breaking up somewhat. Probably still some parts of the area that have seen less than an inch.

u figure by 10-11pm we get going around most of the area. that is, if the rain holds together. it looked like all day we'd get constant rain off the Atlantic, only for it to die out as it got up here

this event has been a bust for 80-90% of the area so far.... bust meaning the huge totals not verifying...sure, it's been a lousy stretch, but much of the time has been rain free....

Radar is really filling in to the south, however...looks as if those 45-50dbz echoes may train over the Metro later.

I think most of us realized the HPC areas of 4-5" widespread were optimistic. Anyway, I have 1.96" for the event, at 57.7/57 right now.
