Wednesday = complete washout on 12z GFS

what are the differences between the 12Z GFS and 12Z Nam for the entire period Wednesday through friday including the track of the tropical storm or is it a hurricane by then ?

Looks to be a couple inches of rain from this for most (of course potential for more). Popup thunderstorms seem more in the works for Wednesday rather than a widespread washout. That does seem likely overnight Thursday into Friday though (given model data)

between 2 and 3 inches of rain not good not good at all for tourism up and down the east coast couldn't happen at the worst time for it to happen this summer empty beaches empty boardwalks = loses in the millions

The world won't stop if the 4th of july weekend is a washout. It happens, no biggie.

PRE?  Someone educate me please.   What is PRE?

This would be where the tropical system throws moisture back inland along a stalled frontal boundary and causes heavy rain due to convergence and what not.  The most classic situation like this occurred in the Philadelphia area with Hurricane Floydd when it came up the coast September 1999.  As it was passing by it was a minimal 40 mph tropical storm passing about 40 miles east of Coastal New Jersey but it caused here in Delaware County PA about 10 miles southwest of Philadelphia serious flooding with 10-15 inches of rain... as the storm passed by it quickly cleared and high pressure built in fast causing 40 mph wind gusts for about 2 hours.

Just to add to this, PRE = Predecessor Rainfall Event

 

There's a PPT that discusses it in more details here: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/hmt/seminar_files/PRE_NWS_Teletraining.ppt
