Water vapor is telling. You can see how the incoming s/w from NJ is helping getting the lift going over srn CT into RI. North of that, it will take more until tonight before the low well SE gets captured and the moisture train starts moving W to WNW.
Tough for me to buy these big amounts closer to BOS. I feel like euro op is way to go. Maybe I'll be wrong, but has the look of dry air eating away at a lot of this precip NW of like GHG-PVD give or take.
Like 2” even for you. It has the classic land/sea convergence zone that PF loves to point out. I’m sure it’s overdone, but that is a usual jack in these setups, south of Boston.
I think this is bordering a bit anomalous for this time of year. Gust near 50 oR more are not really common this early. I’d say this is a pretty good event for at least ern and SE areas. Not trying to play geographical favorites, just saying.
