2 Days and Counting...
It may not seem like it but we are getting closer to improvements. The whole system is now beginning to weaken and move so now we just wait for the system to pass over us and far enough out to sea. That isn't going to come overnight...it will still take days to move the 1000 miles or so to get out of our hair. The problem is it will be getting worse before it gets any better.
I have been watching bands of heavy rain over the last several days situated to our southwest. There is a plume of very moist air fueling some elevated convection and downpours...this has lead to flooding in SW CT, NYC, and NJ. That area is going to pivot north overnight tonight and noses into Eastern New England early tomorrow morning. There could easily be an inch or more of rain in a short period of time so poor drainage flooding could be an issue during the morning commute. The heavy rain band will shift east by early afternoon...if not sooner. Clouds and scattered showers will persist in the wake of the heavy rain.
Friday and Saturday will we still be under the influence of some upper level energy so the limited sun that we will see will only promote scattered showers and thunderstorms. But high pressure and SW flow should be enough to clear us out on Sunday and warm things up with some partial sunshine for early next week.
