it also comes down to the rates and training. i remember our Ida flood really came out of a 3 hour stretch where it was raining buckets… if more spread out it might not be as bad
it seems like south central connecticut is a screw zone for this storm… would be sad if it was a snowstorm but we don’t really need more rain. Storm totals so far: 0.41” at KBDR bridgeport, 0.43” at KHVN new haven
this could have similar impacts to a nor’easter for much of eastern new england. i don’t expect to get more than a little fringe rain here in new haven though
good on you for calling them out. the amount of outright wrong claims about this hurricane online/on social media are ridiculous… people saying “a category 5 is coming for nyc”… i’ve never seen it this bad
an interesting complication is that a slower/more south storm may have more time to be pulled northeast by a trough, as opposed to a faster moving storm. the 18z GFS kind of shows how this could happen
