If not first, it could easily be second as long as the Saturday storm stays weak and/or is delayed. a drought could easily develop later on in the spring if the pattern stays this way with very few decent rain events, similar to what happened in the summer of 2010. The entire area and half of the region is already covered by D0 (abnormally dry) conditions on the drought monitor, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the next update (which I think is tomorrow) increases that area and the D1 drought area as well, which is currently limited to SE New England.

I don't think we'll see that much rain this week.

Most models are projecting 0.2" or less. I think we stand a good chance of setting the record.

If NYC gets 0.32" of rainfall before the month ends it will not be the driest on record...The average temperature after today will be around 51.7...Tomorrow and Saturday could be cold enough to drop the average near 51.2...Just higher than the record 51.1 set in 1945...So there is an outside chance this cool damp spell to close out the month could prevent March 2012 from being the driest and warmest on record...TWT...

All the 12z guidance gives us at least .50" of precip on Saturday to as much as 1".

This includes the latest UKMET, GGEM, GFS, NAM, SREFS and GFS ensembles.

And we are under 48 hours now; So the chances of it raining over .25" are very high.

And then the euro comes in with less then .25" of precip.

And that's a sign that the other models have not corrected enough south...

Has nothing to do with that. The models are all similar with the low placement. The euro shears out the vort quicker then the rest, thus weaker precip.

Euro is a clear outlier right now. The overwhelmning concensus is for .50"-.75" of precip.

any other model as an outlier I would discount, but not the Euro
