I NOW Respectfully Agree With The GFS

Let's look at how the GFS has come around to the other global numerical modeling on this impending storm...which will be one for the record books across the Mid-Atlantic and northeast US!  Here is the run from yesterday valid Monday morning...

Now for the same time but the model run 18 hours later...
Quite a difference in both the intensity of the storm and the positioning of the center of low pressure!  Now here is yesterday's total precip for the event as per the GFS...
s you can see, it has the bulk of the precip falling out over the ocean with KMDT receiving ~0.50" rain.  Now the same model 18 hours later...
Now we are close to 2.25" rain for the event...and what this graphic doesn't show is the wind and cold accompanying this storm!  It will be a good night to stay in and watch Sunday night baseball...but I believe it will be a wash out seeing that it is at Fenway Park in Beantown!  So then, maybe it would be a good night to brush up on your candidates running for office and prepping for Tuesday's primary!  In either case, enjoy your Friday and to quote a sage I've met in my travels "Absolutely nothing will ruin my Friday"!

And enjoy your week's end!  Remember, we NEED the rain!

AA:  Major rain event for the upcoming weekend with the bulk of the rain falling Sunday into Sunday night for us.
