DC always plays the dangerously close game - keep our expectations in check, and we won't be disappointed. 

 

So we go from like 1-3 on the 18z NAM to 6"+ on the 18z GFS :lol:

 

18z RGEM looks like 4" to 6"

 

18z RGEM and 18z GFS are similar at 00z with 850 line/2mT line crossing into DC

nice run but dangerously close for dc 

It is but that's how these events always are. easy to get screwed and almost impossible to know ahead of time what the orientation of the initial heaiver precip band will have.  The NAM takes it north of us and the GFS hits us.

What's your (educated) guess on this Wes?.

Very tricky forecast - all depends on where the slug of precip heads.  I think 2-4" for DC is a good call right now.  If we all expect 6"+ in DC, we're ripe for disappointment since we've seen these "close calls" work out against us (DC peeps) before.
