College of Dupage has also added the 06/18z Euro! We are going to see a lot of the sites upgrade their Euro offerings with the news this week that ECMWF has opened up a bunch of their data for free.
If you click on the floater segment from College of Dupage you can get to the 1 hr precipitation for the NAM Nest. There is a band mid-day tomorrow up by BOS that is ~0.30". Awesome stuff.
I toyed with buzzing up to Atlantic City also, but it maxes out at about 0.10"/hr and is in the wee hours of the morning. While this would last longer and have more wind, I've already seen those rates this year on Jan 3rd.
