Any thoughts as to whether that eastern wall to the precip just now getting to northern Delaware will get to central Maryland before the storm rotates up through, i.e., will this rain stop for a bit later this evening? It would seem so from radar watching, but it also appears that the southeast side to the storm is filling back in with clouds and so there may be plenty of precip to come. How should the dynamics there play out?

Center passes to our north. If there is a break in precip it will be brief. Edge of heavy precip S of acy is already starting to rotate N.

10pm-4am is going to be insane.

surprising, I've been checking out Dover and their obs haven't been a whole lot worse than what we've been experiencing and that's where our heavy stuff is coming from

I notice a fair amount of dry air getting entrenched on the NE/N flanks of the center of Sandy so maybe that will help to kill some of those winds...maybe

Thanks. That was my reasoning as well, but I wasn't sure whether there would be a break for a while considering the breakup of the classic cyclonic structure. When I saw Zwyts' post of the modeled precip, though, I deleted my original post because if there's a possible 4 additional inches of rain then any break must be pretty brief.

TL;DR: thank you for the confirmation.

New band rotating in seems to have ratcheted it up a notch. Pretty heavy roars. I wish it was still daylight!

Edit: wrong thread.

On Topic: center of circulation is just starting to hit the brakes. Simply an amazing event. And the models have done an unbelievable job with something so extraordinary.
