They have time. Even the upper Cape has over 1". All is well.

So many finger nails chewed off for nothing.

Rain looks to hang on all day here…radar is juiced and solid, moving up in here from the south. We take.

 Should last longest in srn/SW CT.

That's a good slug of rain into CT. That 2-3 additional may verify there from earlier.

Its crazy how the big QPF is always to my south now a days.....its either a large anomaly that is going to regress soon, or climate change. All kidding aside, I have honestly began to seriously ponder it. I  know you are going to shrug it off by explaining the unpredictable nuances that dictate where convection fires, etc, but its keeps happening.

Summer stuff is even more variable then winter though. You and me are just in a hole this summer, maybe worse there. How would CC explain a donut hole?

You gotta look at the bigger picture, though....this has been going on up here for several years now. I give it 2 more seasons....if it happens this winter, and again next season, then I would be convinced that its climate change....not even joking.

Wouldn’t further south be closer to having the ocean on two sides (south and east)?  Does that proximity to moisture rich source have anything to do with it?

Read my mind.

[Sn0waddict]

1.00 here so far. Stack another inch or two on top of this and I’m happy.

That is why ORH is such a weenie spot for snow....near the southern end of ridge of higher terrain that jettisons down in a wedge between each respective coast, just removed enough to avoid thermal marine influence, why still availing of enhanced moisture influx....said influx is augmented even more when easterly flow from the ocean ascends up the spine of the ridge.

I don't have a rain gauge, so I have to use the radar storm total product. If it's to be believed, I'm somewhere in the 4-5" range so far.

[WxWatcher007]

Finally getting in the good stuff. 

[Whineminster]

I feel like there should be more flooding for 10+ inches.

That strip from southern Connecticut through Rhode Island is a magnet for enhanced rainfall totals in these setups. Anytime you get a boundary to stall across that part of the state and have enhanced convergence then throw in nocturnal scenarios where you get additional enhancement from LLJ you can bet that corridor is going to overperform, especially when you're talking about SSTA's well above the average.

I learned to whine from the best--props to TauntonBlizz. Now I get what I want.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Up to 2.8"  should be able to hit 3"    That would be consistent with the NWS maps.

I'm learning too. Nearly a half inch since I woke up and started whining. 

[wx2fish]

2.25" so far with steady rain. Only need another quarter inch to match my total for the last 2 months

It was spread out enough to prevent major flooding plus smaller waterways were way below normal flow.

[wxeyeNH]

57F Light rain  1.32"  biggest rain event since I put my Stratus back out after frozen season.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Why does it look like there is a lull in the Norton/easton area on radar? Ground truth has it still raining fairly heavily

Radar shadowing from some objects?

Been finally getting steady rains after hours of flaccid rates.

Agreed. 

[Brian5671]

Nice steady rain here-about an inch.   Got into the downpours overnight....

Triggered.
