    This is also going to hit areas in SNE. Impressive blocking will shunt this south 

     

    Generally, there are many fantasy modeling heavy-hitters outside of D3-4? that end up being sputtering rain/globs that amount to nothing. Especially below 1 or even 1.5k later April

  2. Was in RI today, Scituate/Smithfield was a RIVER coming down from those hills. Sides of roads washed out.  Hopefully we can maximize the QPF on this next event to renew the excitement!

    BOX has no mention of anything Friday. Just have a sunny, dry day after rain Wed night / Thursday. Almost like they just tossed everything except op Euro . Not even a precip or rain mention lol 

    
    The focus period for the long term forecast will be Wednesday night
    through Thursday night (at least). This 24-36 hour period has the
    potential to deliver another round of 2-3 inches of rain to the
    region which (I`m sure we don`t need to remind you) only recently
    received this much rain and continues to see some rivers in flood
    stage. The most important thing to determining where/if we deal with
    exacerbated flooding will be the ultimate track of the storm and the
    axis of heaviest rainfall. It is too soon to have a high degree of
    confidence on where this axis sets up, but the most recent ECMWF
    global guidance has come west, in line with the GFS/Canadian
    guidance showing those large rainfall amounts over interior southern
    New England rather than further east/offshore. Of course, we don`t
    want to focus on deterministic model runs, but that agreement isn`t
    what you would want to see if you`re hoping for a miss offshore. At
    this time frame we focus on ensembles, two of which (the GEFS and
    EPS) are indicating a 20-40% and 10-30% chance of AOA 2 inches of
    rain respectively. Not huge numbers, but 3 days out certainly
    indicative of potential for concern given how saturated the
    ground is already. The atmospheric moisture and dynamics are
    there, with a 1.25" PWAT plume directly from the Gulf of Mexico
    and large scale ascent from favorable placement beneath a 150 kt
    upper jet, but just how/if the northern and southern streams
    interact is unknown at this time. Additionally, probabilistic
    hydrographs from the NAEFS and GEFS indicate renewed flooding
    for RI rivers. This system will also bring a period of gusty
    winds as it passes late week.
