This could be a bad outcome for coastal flooding, given the track here. The NNW fade at the end keeps Long Island in a strong SE fetch for quite a long time. Could be bad also for NY Harbor locations with the fetch. Crazy low level jet and likely surface winds too. If it deepens like this, we could see 60+ mph gusts on the coast. Looking to the west side of the storm, cold air crashes in and there could be quite a bit of snow for the NY and PA mountains in the deform zone. Overall this should easily be the most intense system we've seen since October.

There's a pretty big discrepancy though. The NAM has basically nothing through Sunday morning but on the GFS a half inch has fallen by then. The end result is the same, the heavy stuff comes in Sunday into Monday. But it does have implications for those trying to get outdoor plans in tomorrow before the deluge comes.

It most likely going to be from Saturday night thru at least Monday morning. The heart of the storm looks to be from around mid day Sunday thru Monday morning.

GFS has more rain falling with the stationary front. NAM has less and focuses most of it during the coastal.

In my opinion, the NAM as well as the EURO are usually a bit slow with storms, so I would expect rain to be moving in with the main system Saturday night, we will see if that pans out.

I always saw this as having the potential to bring big time rain if the phasing and development worked out correctly. Direct tap to the Caribbean and massive dynamics to squeeze it all out. 3-5" for many sounds like a good bet. Way inland, the snow could be a huge story as well as it's late April and trees are leafed out.
