The big rains are in and out...if you count the clouds and light showers after, then yes I agree.   Today's Euro will be telling-will confirm if last night's 0z was a wet fluke.

I'm just saying, in out can be misleading. Thanks for clarifying.

UKMET is still out of range, but it looks quite robust, maybe the most robust of all the guidance.

GFS might be underdoing that eastern piece of heavy precip.   All models have the big slug up towards BUF and CLE

Do you guys think we could see a rare May frost early next week? I always plant the tomatoes during the first few days of May, but I'm a little hesitant to do that right now because of how chilly it looks early next week. Right now to me it looks as if it could drop to about 40 monday night which would be ok, but it would only have to trend a little colder to get to frost level. I'm wondering if I should plant late this year to be safe. 

I usually try and plant first weekend of May if possible too. Wasn't able to last year and I'm not doing it this year either.  Putting the plants in early just have them sit in raw rainy/cool weather doesn't gain you anything. They respond to the weather and can respond quick once it turns nice. I'll wait until we get closer to the weekend of the 13/14 and see what it looks like at that time.

Global model won't see the narrow band...have to go to the NAM for that 24 hrs and out

Yeah I wouldn't worry that much about QPF. An absolute beast of a LLJ strengthens overhead, almost perfect placement. It's going to be a firehose of heavy convection.

Euro cut back for the entire area, but is still over 2 inches for the metro.

It's depiction of the convection was just a bit less robust, but it's really impossible to figure out at this range. I started a storm specific thread since we're three days out now.
