The 12z GFS really dumps here on Sunday. 0.50-1.00" of rain through 06z Monday. Then we get hit pretty hard on Monday but the worst is North of is into C NE. Then on Monday night we get a fire hose type feature as another wave develops near DC and moves northeastward. The GFS has 4-5" of rain for parts of the Albany CWA through hr 84. We're at 1.75"+ and that's before the wave for Monday night. Believe it or not, as dry as we have been, flooding could occur, especially since the reservoirs aren't low by any means thanks to all that snow.

If someone told me last December that we would have the third coldest February on record followed by

a May so close to the top I probably wouldn't have believed them. It was impressive how the developing

El Nino pattern helped pump the ridge over the area since the beginning of April.

I feel like a broken record but that is just the nature of meridional patterns and life inside the 'climate casino'.

The 12z Euro is slowing the front down for Sunday so we'll see 80's instead of

the cooler temps that were previously forecast. NYC may come closer to

the May 1991 record high. Much of the convection is now focusing north

of NYC into Monday. Has bulk of convection Monday night into Tuesday.

any more trending in that direction and we'll miss most of the rain to our NW

As most of you know I have been following this rain threat very closely for the last five days. The heaviest rains have shifted from over us to the southeast to the northwest to back over us and now back to the northwest. Undoubtedly this will continue to move around as the models struggle with placement of key features. Just noise IMO. Table still set for 1"+ areawide with 3" lollies.

need a trend back SE.  Another trend or 2 NW and we're not getting much.   Already, Sunday is now mainly dry so we've lost a day

I'm sure you have read the thread in the New England forum. A few excellent posts there about how the models tend to be too far North with stratiform rain events during the warm season.

good points, however on the other side, that Bermuda high means business.  The models could be onto something with the CNE and upstate NY jackpots.

We just need to keep Sunday drier for NYC to have a very impressive near warmest 

and  driest May combo which is a rarity for any month of the year. Not too many

+5 or greater months in the warm season with under an inch of rainfall.

 

NYC is currently at the second warmest May and third driest.

 

67.9....+5.9.....0.40

NYC is probably <0.50" on Sunday now, unless this is all just noise and the models correct back southeast.
