that's not so bad just as long as it doesn't slow anymore and we can just find a way to get this much needed rain during the night Monday night and hopefully get that front out with drying conditions and a bit of clearing at least by late Tuesday morning into the afternoon and not have it slow down anymore causing it stay ugly all day Tuesday and even Wednesday too. Rain is good but never when it hangs around for days on end and most people believe the nuisance showers are better than rain but they aren't. I'd rather take decent soakings and have it stay progressive rather than those annoying nuisance showers and drizzle that can sometimes hang around even after the main rain event is over

Prolonged soaker isn't that great either because it could lead to too much rain in a short period of time causing us to go from needing rain to not needing anymore in a short period of time and the in just 3 days you could be talking about needing to have a long dry stretch again to make up for having too much rain. The best way is to have like a 6 to 8 hour window of the soaking rain nonstop and then have it stay progressive and move out and anytime during the late evenings and overnights would be the right time for us to get these soakers

It could possibly also trend further to the south as well well to the south of NYC so that's what this means ugh but I would like it anyway because i'm not a fan of ugly cloudy rainy weather especially if the system doesn't stay progressive and slows down and stalls out causing days and days of it but as long as it's only a short period of time in and out then I'm good with the much needed rain. Wish that front would find a way to speed up and give us this much needed rain Sunday night and get it out by Labor Day and Tuesday

this would be great if this scenario plays out. We certainly don't need to go through another cutoff low pattern like we did the week before Memorial day weekend which ultimately wound up ruining the start of the Memorial Day weekend after it was originally forecasted to impact the area that Monday-Thursday with improving weather just in time for Memorial day weekend. Yes rain is great to have but when it comes to cut off low patterns and it persists for prolonged periods of time you wind up going from needing the rain to not needing anymore in a quick period of time plus with this being June and not April all day dreariness is not fun to have in any of the 3 summer months or at all but especially in the 3 summer months when it typically should not be happening. Summer months do feature unsettled weather but typically not of the all day dreary stratiform type but rather the warm convective type where the sun destabilizes the atmosphere and you get your heavy rain and thunderstorms before the sun comes right back out. That's what type of unsettled weather should be happening during June, July and August. And in the summer months the weekends are the most important time for the weather to cooperate because that's when typically beach goers go to the beach which is what they call the 16 summer weekends which begin during Memorial Day weekend
