For posterity...on July 4th the Euro had Elsa getting ripped apart off the SE Coast while the GFS had a system going into Florida and up part of the East Coast. Two days later hurricane warnings were issued for the Florida coast. Tropical tracking is not easy.

Impressive event in CT, certainly aided by the recent rainfall.

Seeing flash flood reports from Fairfield County. Probably need a warning up there.

Good luck to everyone up there today. Hope you get smoked.

Glad everyone is ok

Totally agree with the idea that the setup is favorable out there.
