What's the general start time for the storm? I'm taking an 8am flight out of Newark to Miami. It seems I might be leaving right on time before the heavier rains throughout the day. 

Wouldn't count on it, this is valid at 8AM.

Not really that doom and gloom in Upton's discussion from Sun-Tue

-

The heaviest rain exits the region Friday night, but the rest of the
weekend into early next week will remain unsettled as a highly
amplified omega blocks remains across the lower 48. The upper low
responsible for the rain on Friday will become nearly stationary
over the Northeast with multiple pieces of shortwave energy rotating
about it. Expect a chance of showers each day through Monday.
Despite the threat of rain each day, it should be more dry than wet
through this period, Especially as we get into Sunday and Monday.

A break in the precipitation is expected Monday night into Tuesday
as the upper low slowly moves away from our area. However, another
chance of rain will come on Wednesday.

Temperatures should average at or slightly below average for the
long term with an overall cloudy period.

Yesterday it looked like the models were moving towards a more progressive solution with the ULL hanging around Southeastern Canada instead of New England. That scenario has now completely flip flopped with the ULL anchored over Central New England for the next 10 days.

I think you will see a change in tune by the weekend. Upton is notorious for downplaying these types of events. I got the impression reading the AFD on Tuesday that the forecaster was completely disgusted with what he was writing because of the tone it was presented in.

Well it's crunch time now. I would take any major changes in the modeling seriously as we're inside of 24 hours. More than likely by this time tomorrow the majority of the rains should be Northeast of the area.

The 18z NAM is coming in further West with the morning convection, and that trend has been the case more or less all day.

The afternoon convection is heavier, and closer to the coast. One area of enhanced rains over the interior and another over Long Island and SNE Friday afternoon.

there's likely to be a screw zone b/w the 2 somewhere.   Screwed meaning .75 or less, not no rain at all.

I'm talking about the second batch here. The first batch looks like it will get everyone or nearly everyone with an inch plus.

back edge racing through DC, this will be over by 2pm.   (Kidding)

LOL, it's not exactly racing through DC either. It rained in DC all night. Most people in the mid-atlantic are reporting >2" with high rates embedded.
