National blend of models hinting at that potential soaker Thursday into Friday.
I’d look out for possibly significant flash flooding Thursday into Friday across New Jersey, Long Island, NYC, and SNE. Deep tropical moisture with PWATs up to 2.3-2.4” combined with stalled front. Euro is currently most aggressive, but other models seem to be catching up.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island until 9 PM EDT

Based on a suggestion from @WxTca, I applied my analog matching technique for SSTs to "velocity potential" (a metric for large-scale rising/sinking motion) from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The Top 10 years (since 1980) based on this metric for May-June were: 2001 2004 2023…
