NWS dialed the Holyoke PnC back to 1-2" from 2-3" 

Yesterday overperformed, got 1.4" not "a tenth to a quarter"

15% chance of an area within 25 miles seeing rainfall that exceeds flash flood guidance. Kind of similar to SPC outlooks of having a certain percentage chance of seeing severe within 50mi or whatever it is. Flash flood guidance varies depending on recent rainfall (among other things, probably). 
 

Caveat is moderate risk on rainfall is not the same as a mod risk for severe. When I see a mod rain risk it’s noteworthy but not uncommon. A high risk is serious though—they almost always precede catastrophic flooding somewhere within the zone. 

I get it, and mostly understand it. my point is this: we are all weenies, hobbyists, and meteorologists here, so I'd say that this forum gets it. But what does the general public think that map means? i am sure more than one twitterologist has posted that map with no context.

6z HRRR is like 0.25” here. Euro isn’t much better. Holy hell.

My only guess is the relatively recent change of the 0.3° beam angle. With a cool season like storm and “flatter” beam they’re returning a lot of area in the mixed-phase layer.
