wow-never thought I'd see the day,but you could tell it was heading that way today with the radar and other models moving away from the solution after intiially going towards it.

 

 

lol. Is the event over yet? lol It was clear by this morning those totals where not going to verify

I can certainly understand your reasoning, however I think we need to let this play out.

I think this has just about played out now. The high pressure to the north was so dominant, that almost all of the moisture with the little low was supressed to our south, and only remnants at best will make it to Long Island and NYC in the form of drizzle, if it doesn't fizzle. Light showers are now lined up south of LI and weakening further as they move n-ward. Tomorrow should feature a few breaks of sunshine and an occasional spotty light shower or sprinkle. I think the next shot of meaningful rain around here would be an approaching cold front around the 20th or 21st.

models pointing to a prolonged rain event especially NYC south and east...discuss here: 

 

 

 

It was a rainstorm bust.  That's okay because it was not a snow forecast.  Anyway, lesson learned is that we can not place all our bets on supercomputers and models.  Weather forecasting remains very challenging at times.

Today turned out to be a nice and cool day. What a bust of a storm.

 

You're in Brooklyn and I'm in interior NJ so it probably makes a difference here, but I gotta say, it wasn't exactly "cool."  It's October so I'm speaking relatively but there was a distinct warm, moist sort of flow... it has been about 61 degrees for the last 12 hours.  I am sure the wind and cloud cover helps with that.

 

You know a lot of this weather today reminded me of (wait for it) Sandy.  Besides the breezy grayness that was in place well before Sandy's arrival, most of Sandy's weather in our area was progressively higher winds with a sparse radar which, as I've understood it, was partially caused by the subsiding air from the high to the north.  I feel stupid evoking Sandy for such a relative non-event, though.  I guess as I follow more weather I'll be able to instead say "hey this reminds me of the 10/10/13 No'reaster."

 

Also a No'reaster is my name for future busts :)

Not sure I've ever seen something like that from the Euro-once it locks in, it's usually right

 

This isn't first time Euro has shown too high qpf this close to an event. But I think all the models have struggled with this storm. Due to more subsidence and mishandling of the LLJ/shortwaves around the ULL. Also another low has developed well offshore, robbing us first low of some moisture and dynamics.
