Looks similar to the UKMET with estimated close to 2", but I don't have the sounding with exact number.

A weaker and more suppressed system like some of the other 12z guidance.

Is there any way the NYC area doesn't even get an inch out of this system?

If the low is a little further north, we could be between the heavy stratiform rain north of us and major thunderstorm activity south of us. We'd then likely have mostly showers other than if the frontal squall line can manage to sweep through. It's possible we get less than an inch but I'd say it's much more likely we get more. I guess for the most action in this area I'd root for the southern low solution as it will be near impossible to get severe weather from this area north and east. This might be pretty boring if the heavy rain stays to the north over New England.

If you hit "Quebec" on that site, it zooms into the northeast.

12z RGEM is 40-50mm which is about exactly what the euro has, 1.50"-2" of rain. The 3"-4" amounts are back in PA.

 

 

I didn't say the RGEM I said the GGEM. Doesn't make much of a difference. 1.5-2.0" modeled is going to have locally heavier pockets as well.

 

I'm still not buying the weakening at the last minute. I think the convection out in the west is causing major modeling problems.

I think we can all come out of this happy it's not winter :) if NYC gets 1.5" of rain that'd be maybe 12-15" of snow....but we'd be complaining as we watch hunter mountain into SE NE get 30-40" :)

I'll be dissapointed we didn't get the apocalyptic storm. Anyone that is rooting for a non event doesn't really appreciate severe weather.

The main difference with the 12z guidance today was that the trough comes out more positive

tilted or progressive than it has been in the earlier forecasts. It could have been the enhanced

convection in earlier runs with a stronger vort  and more ridging ahead of the low.

   * EFFECTIVE THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 150 PM
     UNTIL 900 PM CDT.

   ...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...

   * PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE...
     SEVERAL INTENSE TORNADOES LIKELY
     SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 80 MPH POSSIBLE
     SEVERAL VERY LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 3 INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE

   THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 65 STATUTE
   MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 35 MILES WEST SOUTHWEST OF MASON
   CITY IOWA TO 20 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF ROCKFORD ILLINOIS.  FOR A
   COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE
   UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
   TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
   AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
   THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
   AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

   &&

   DISCUSSION...POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS
   POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS GRADUALLY DEEPENING SURFACE LOW
   TRACKS EAST ALONG A FRONTAL ZONE SITUATED FROM NORTHEAST IOWA
   EASTWARD ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER TO LAKE MICHIGAN. A VOLATILE WARM
   AND VERY MOIST AIRMASS SHOULD FUEL INTENSE THUNDERSTORM UPDRAFTS
   ACROSS THESE AREAS WHERE MID LEVEL FLOW IN EXCESS AROUND 50KT
   SUPPORTS UPDRAFT PERSISTENCE AND ORGANIZATION. A NUMBER OF
   SUPERCELLS ARE EXPECTED PRIOR TO A CONSOLIDATION OF STORMS INTO A
   LARGE MCS TOWARD EVENING. LOW LEVEL SHEAR/HELICITY NEAR THE SURFACE
   LOW AND ALONG THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT SOME TORNADOES WITH ANY
   DISCRETE CELLS. A COUPLE STRONG TORNADOES SEEM POSSIBLE WITHIN THIS
   ENVIRONMENT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS IN ADDITION TO VERY LARGE
   HAIL AND LOCALIZED DOWNDRAFT/DAMAGING WIND THREATS.
