This may be the story of this storm.  Regardless of any backside snow.

I don't know the ORH area that well but this has to be causing some serious problems.  I've found 3 PWS with over 5" now in the past 3 hours.

This is insane.  This is happening so fast too.  Talk about efficiency.

Have to watch out for some of the PWS, but 4+ certainly.

Ginxy (your name Autocorrects to Function btw).  How does this radar compare to that epic Ginxy storm

 

Lol that was epic. This was special watching the dynamics and velocities. Track this from the ocean off Delaware . NB

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Meh here.

A little late with the FFW. Not that it would stop people on a Friday evening.

They issued mine right after my CoCorahs significant wx report which goes right across their desks. 

[Typhoon Tip]

lord 

all the way to the end of Oct to get that?!   wtf -

[Typhoon Tip]

that was the best thunderstorm i've personally witnessed in years.  unreal... you can really see this thing exploding on infrared imagery... 

[dendrite]

1.27" in 1hr at CON. Getting the screwjob barely here.

[J Paul Gordon]

We're in Maine. Daughter called from West Boylston in a panic about the warnings. She's on the second floor in a well drained area. Rain really starting to come down here now in Wells Kennebunk area

Yeah I thought most of them look pretty legit, even those just over 5".  The ones to toss are the ones that show like 0.96" and are surrounded by 3-5" amounts, lol.

But I don't care where you are, the drought, antecedent conditions, urban or non-urban...getting 3-5" in 3 hours is going to cause problems.  Potentially huge problems.  Once into the 4-5" range in that short of a time frame you've got washouts, parking lots with 5 feet of water in them, all underpasses are probably flooded, etc.

radar looks incredible with that rotation

Nice to see some posters getting the weather-gasm this evening.  I'm really impressed with those totals even up here...that type of rain is hard to come by, even in a tropical storm in August up here.

Its like Irene rainfall but occurring in just a few hours.

[dendrite]

0.50" in the last 14 mins at CON. That's like my event total.

[powderfreak]

Some 3" amounts now showing up in SNH.  Might as well issue the FFW now.

Edit: I see GYX got one out 7 minutes ago.

[powderfreak]

I'm curious how this plays out up near GYX and IZG.  They look to be in the crosshairs of getting like half a foot of rain if this all converges there.

[CoastalWx]

Absurd rain rates near Boxford right now.

Hopefully Lavarock has a mudslide at his house from his bitching and moaning.

Western NY radar with the snow look.

[powderfreak]

Just for the record, this is the 18z GFS forecast QPF totals through 12z tomorrow.  This is an 18 hour forecast. 

We will have like half an inch up here with like 3-6" over a good portion of ENE.
