06z NAM and GFS lowered QPF amounts... OTOH, Upton has now issued WWA for Suffolk and Nassau:

Please try and understand what you are looking at. Ths system did not shift south on the nam or the gfs. The surface low is still east of AC. Only diff is its progged at 1000mb. Not 996 that the previous runs showed. So the precip field looks less robust on the 6z. I wouldnt worry about 4 shouldnt kill the 2 to 4 around here. Lets see if the 12z deepens it back and match the radar against the initializations. And u will get ur answer

both the 6z nam and gfs are drier further south....

And the RGEM and SREF bumped north a little. This will probably come down to nowcasting and seeing where the main snow banding sets up. I think we're good for a few inches hopefully. Maybe this could surprise on the high end.

I agree. I still think we see 3-4" here with amounts up to 6

New srefs got drier. .25" line barely to NYC now.

.50" line south of Sandy Hook.

This system reenforces the rule that many of us(including me) were breaking; if the EURO's not onboard, it ain't happening. It scored another big win here, and for the love of god can't they fix the NAM already?

(GFS wasn't much better, had two runs 2 days ago with warning snow and unfortunatley we all bought it)
