have to tell you metmike if that forecast turns out like last couple of weeks it ain't going to rain. We have had nothing but 40-50-60-70-% chances nearly every day and even that "likely" thing several times and have gotten not a drop. Starting to really show as with those high chances nobody was willing to sock the seed 3 inches deep looking for moisture. Well as it turns out now that seed is laying in dry dirt and acre after acre will not germinate without help

I agree mcfarm,

These rainfall totals keep getting less and less with each forecast. We went from having excessive rains in many places to excessive in a few spots but lots of rain everywhere to maybe completely missing the rains in some places.

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTHEAST   PA...FAR NORTHERN NJ...SOUTHERN NY...NORTHWEST CT...SOUTHWEST MA...    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHERN HIGH   PLAINS...    ...SUMMARY...   Widespread damaging winds, a few tornadoes, and scattered large hail   is expected across parts of the Northeast States this afternoon into   early evening.    ...Northeast States...   Convective evolution will be tied to an MCV and small convective   cluster currently ongoing near the OH/PA border. Robust diabatic   heating is underway ahead of this feature with trailing outflow from   a lead convective cluster currently crossing the Hudson Valley. 12Z   Pittsburgh sounding sampled a favorable environment for   destabilization with an EML yielding steep mid-level lapse rates.   Warm-sector buoyancy of 1000-2000 J/kg will become common by peak   heating. This sounding also sampled the southern periphery of strong   700-500 mb winds. As the OH/PA cluster evolves east and becomes   surface-based, convection will organize into a fast-moving QLCS with   embedded bowing structures given the strong mid-level westerlies   nearly orthogonal to the line. Widespread strong to scattered severe   wind gusts appear likely which may yield a derecho, and thus   damaging wind coverage probabilities have been increased this   outlook. A few cells should form ahead of the developing QLCS, most   likely across parts of southern NY/Hudson Valley vicinity into   western New England. Supercell wind profiles will support a tornado   and large hail risk maximized across this region, with this activity   becoming absorbed within the broader QLCS. The severe threat will   quickly wane near the Atlantic Coast once the QLCS impinges on the   stable marine layer.

NWS week 2 forecast still very warm but above normal rains:
