This was by far the worst flooding in at least 40 years along the west branch of the Saugatuck River. Several homes were evacuated last night along the river itself in both Wilton and Westport. As of my drive this morning, the water has crested and is receding. However, water lines ranging from a foot to 3 foot seen on some of these houses. This was a .1% probability of exceedance rain event along the Norwalk River, Housatonic River and Saugatuck. Some photos from yesterday in Wilton and Westport, CT. Please do not redistribute:

Depends on which coast, CT did well with this. -

The winner ended up being that merritt/287/91/84 box after all. The loser is me for bitching out about it last night after the HRRR. Shoulda stuck with original call. -

As far as the Euro/HRRR goes, this is one of the worst performances inside 36 hours I can remember. -

It was mentioned several times that this would occur. The accumulations for this storm will likely double on non-paved surfaces. -

Impressive stuff up in orange. This has been one of the weirder 24 hours leading into a storm in my career. Raising the totals for city and Island was right to do, but biting on the N/W sharp cutoff as a function of near term trends was not. -

4-8" looks good for most (obviously less up by 84 and just north), again with the pavement caveat in urban areas and NYC. No need to fight the southerly trend this late. The returns in Tennessee weren't great this afternoon and think the trend south is a response to that. -

Was on the phone with my old boss this morning, told him 6" in that north shore snow zone is probably reasonable top end. But it's a snow board 6", i think a lot of 2-4", 2-5" readings mostly on grass -

Think you can go in the middle of the two ranges and be fine. This storm is very juicy, but very marginal too. Snow board will do better than 'on ground' It won't look or feel like 3-6" for a bunch of folks in the city (more than manhattan too, brooklyn et al). -

Coastal marginal temps/mixing keep things at bay accumulation wise. it'll look nice for a period, you'll get some accumulation on grassy surfaces, but a lot of it will feel 'wasted'. It's still better than what it looked like a couple of days ago. This is game on north of the merritt/287. -

Similar thinking, pending 12z adjustments in track. I like this a lot in the 287-84-merritt-91 box -

I like this a lot for north of 287/Merritt, though a large chunk of our area is gonna waste some of the overnight precipitation to sleet and mix at the onset with the warm nose above 850 and best diurnal timing. This is a frustrating one for the coast, especially the island, but that's often the issue in marginal storms like this one. -
There is also tangential/research being done on what impact any SSW event has on the actual PV and the spatial distribution of 2m temperature anomalies/h5 pattern. There are statistically higher odds of certain loading and post event patterns depending on whether a displacement or full split event occurs.

Once again, a clean eastward propagatation in subsidence...the models handled this well.
