Rainfall totals of 2-3" are expected.=20 Discussion...Low pressure organizing over eastern North Carolina this evening will lift north/northeast toward southern New England tonight, interacting with a stationary boundary currently draped offshore New Jersey to Long Island. As it does so, a strengthening low level jet will begin to push much higher moisture into the region, aided by 850 mb winds exceeding 40-50 kts after 04Z. This will result in PWs climbing to well above 1", locally 1.25-1.5" across far southern New England. With a corridor of enhanced low level convergence downstream of the approaching low and broad large scale forcing for ascent provided by the height falls and approaching mid-level shortwave, the setup will become increasingly favorable for heavy rainfall through tonight. The latest guidance is in good agreement for a widespread area of moderate/heavy rainfall across far southern New York through southern New England including much of Connecticut, Rhode Island, western to east-central Massachusetts, and portions of southern Vermont and New Hampshire. The latest HREF neighborhood probabilities are high (>70 percent) for at least 2 inches in the outlook area with a slight signal (10-20 percent) for 3 inch amounts. Hourly rain totals are likely to top out between 0.5-0.75", limited by the lack of deep instability expected. However, the longer duration of the rainfall event should overcome the relative lack of intensity in rain rates to produce flooding. Much of the area has seen above normal precipitation over the last several days with ground conditions remaining quite wet. As a result, this additional rainfall overnight may result in additional flooding and flash flooding, particularly for southern New England.
