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-AS OF 12 NOON

88/70 with a heat index of 93

Still no 90. High of 89.3 so far but there's a very light sea breeze. Toasty on the south shore

-51F at 35k feet. @nycwinter hoodie weather.  Should beat any wx into NYC terminal.

And it continues to appear that most of that rain will be Saturday and Saturday night into Sunday morning. The models still move the rain out for Sunday afternoon. Obviously it won't be beautiful with cloudy/cool weather, but there is hope that it will be dry for cookouts Sunday afternoon and evening.

meh-everything will be wet and waterlogged with overcast damp conditions.  Monday is our only hope really for anything serviceable.
