0z NAM made a push east it seems. Has the low going into NYC instead of through Philly.

The NAM didn't have a good handle on the track in the short range, just yesterday it had the low going through central Pennsylvania in its 12z run. It also trended weaker for tomorrow compared to what yesterday's runs showed.

Looks like she is taking nearly the same exact path as Irene did. If you take a look at the radar from the NWS site out of KDIX you can see how we still have lots more coming our way offshore. Eventually the dry slot gets us but not before we take a beating during the next 3-5 hours, and then we still have a chance at more scattered activity once the main band works through. some of the brightest echos of the event now working into the area.

this low is not moving northeast. We will not be on the backside of this low, probably at all as it moves NNW into west NY and southern Canada.

You will probably see the strongest winds in the morning on the backside of the low due to the rapid pressure rises.

Things really ramp up last few hours...have to be over 2 inches of rain...wind is strong...but nothing breath taking...as i have been spoiled with hurricane and late spring noreasters....def most exciting storm and surface reflection since oct

Agree. If we had a storm like this last March, we would be crying bust. But because we have had nothing all winter/spring long, this seems like it is a big high-impact Nor'Easter.

This storm would seem like your run of the mill coastal with the retrograding twist, about 2-2.5" of rain totaled from both last night and today, some wind gusts up to 40 or slightly higher, nothing too crazy. Agreed that the quiet spell makes this seem a lot more impressive than we would normally view it and it should put a significant dent in the drought right now, yet even with 2-2.5" inches, were still only to get 50-55% of normal for the month of April, which is almost how much percentage of rain we've been averaging since Jan relative to normal.
