Sharp cutoff just to the NE of NYC for the weekend rains

[psv88]

Feels like a mid summer morning. Already 80 with a dew of 68. 
 

(Waits for @uofmiamito tell me it doesn’t feel humid outside)

If it’ll be raw and nasty, might as well get the benefit of a good soaking. Hopefully it edges NE in the next day or two.

Didn't think it was going to be 2+" of rain. Was thinking 1" and just crappy most of the weekend.

Such bad luck-it's going to be back into the 70's and maybe 80 next week

Agreed. Better to get some protracted strataform rains then days of misery mist. Any storms and heavy rain today will likely just run off. Earliest I have ever seen brown lawns around here.

Yeah we are burning out here too.    So much for the big wet nino pattern at least so far.

HRRR continues to be pretty wimpy most runs, the RRFS has consistently shown a stronger signal and the FV3 GFS and NAM do too

HRRR's still a bit out of range.  3K NAM is wild

88/67. Love it

Going to be interesting to see how much severe weather actually develops here this afternoon as the front is already moving east fast and runs from Milford PA southwest down to around Harrisburg with no mesoscale discussions or any severe watches/warnings anywhere
