The precip is over by 45-48 hours..thats probably where you're getting confused. Here's the 6 hour precip at 48 hours (precip between 42 and 48).

Think about it this way...less than 0.1" has fallen between 42 and 48 hours. If you go back to 42 hours, you can see that between 36 and 42...0.25" has fallen.

The 850 0c line is valid for that *exact* time. So at 42 hours, it's not even on the south shore of LI and the precip is ending.

No problem man. It can all be very confusing at times and tough to keep up with. But you learn along the way. Great thing about meteorology is you're still learning every single day, even when you're working. No pattern is the same..no storm is the same. Very humbling profession.

thats what interests me about it. there is always things and situations that happen or occur then that really drive you to understand why and did it happen. the forecasting aspect is so challenging as well that it really does take a dedicated person to understand meteorology like us.
