IsentropicLift Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Lol okay So we only need about 1.2" to cause some minor flooding here. Frontal boundary with a tropical system blasting in moisture worries me a bit. What did the 18z GFS look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Real legit tornado threat with a western track, real flood threat with a coastal higher, offshore is our best case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The GFS forecast has the PW's near record levels here in early June. The forecast sounding for Friday night has levels near 2.20" for a time as the center passes closest to the area. The climo max for June 7-8th is about 2.27".

IsentropicLift Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 WPC is going with the GGEM and Euro, That would be pretty awful in terms of flooding. I think we could handle 3" fairly well but not widespread 4" plus. These systems are notorious for dumping boat loads of rain in a short period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Even getting 3" in a short amount of time spells trouble, plenty of runoff, quick rise in streams and rivers. But I agree anything in the 4"+ range, especially widespread could lead to significant river flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 NAM is definitely drier than the other models (generally less than 1.5").

jm1220 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 NAM is definitely drier than the other models (generally less than 1.5"). Comes in 2 batches one tonight and then another tomorrow night with lighter amounts during the day on Friday I'd go with models that have a heavy stratiform rain area west of the track and spottier activity east. It makes no sense that the NAM's entire precip shield would be showery like that. Places up to 100 miles or so west of the track should be good for a few inches of rain, maybe more locally. The fast movement is a saving grace here. It doesn't look like the center will move back over land until maybe the outer Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Euro 3-4 of rain for the metro area Looks like a good consensus for up to 3" of rain around here, though higher pockets are certainly possible, maybe up to 5" in localized regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 3-5" of rain is a good estimate for now. That could certainly fall over a 12 or so hour period within the main heavy rain swath west of the low.

SnoSki14 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The Nam joins the party finally, but keeps the heaviest a bit further west than other models.

jm1220 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 At least it's the NAM The convergence zone along the frontal boundary will be where the worst rains set up. These often end up over N NJ, so I could see the heaviest being there. They also could get the heaviest rain from the initial wave we see now.
