Timing is always the most incorrect part of guidance.

Brother, you have access to the models just like the rest of us. Even going back to Sat runs, GFS/Euro/NAM were showing any meaningful frozen precip exiting the Hbg region by 1-2PM. This has been looking like a quick, ~6 hr type of event for a number of days now.

The rain line sneaking north -- a tale as old as time.   NWS's latest map.....

It better thump from the onset. Otherwise, even these numbers might not materialize.
