Define “soaker”. To me it’s more than like 1.5”.

Our standards seem to be getting high if 1.5” of rain is the barometer of worthy rain.

A half inch will soak in nicely.

Not seeing that. Everyone will rain but only a very narrow area will get anything of bigger significance. There will be a small zone that trains .. but it’s nothing widespread 

Just be clear... Are you saying Wiz is in correct in his analysis of what the parameters will look like overhead from late tonight through tomorrow? Or are you saying you can see what he's looking at but they won't produce the outcome he is expecting?

1.5” is a seasonal total here

I am saying don’t see widespread big rain amounts / flooding etc . This isn’t that type of setup

Some weenie in NY ridin’ along in his automobile trolling mPing with 5” hail obs, blowing dust, and overflowing rivers. Hate to see it.

Beautiful sea breeze but cloudy. Pool feels fantastic

Got ya.... Duration argues against widespread flooding issues but parameters, as stated by Wiz, are in place for some localize issues... It's almost always about intensity rates and confidence is rarely high in these situations.  The low/mid level moisture surge could easily produce some surprise heavier than modeled zones and forecasters should not sleep on "potential".

I can totally see a narrow zone or a few towns getting 3-5” but that would be combined with both the morning stuff and if anything fires in the afternoon

Don’t give our resident moron the oxygen he needs. Just ignore his ‘weather related’ posts like everyone else and he will slowly….ever so slowly, go away.

I don’t see any widespread support for that. Maybe some town in western CT gets more than that, but good luck guessing where and if that happens 

That’s plenty of rain.

There’s always a stressed tree or two that do that.

Yeah nothing abnormal.  We’ve seen a few up here.
