996 over northern VT and a transfer 996 off Long Island.
Stand by for changes and ZFP flips... or is it ZFP flops?

LOL SF! :lol: Or GFS = Garbage Forecasting System. Looks to me like the Wednesday night/Thursday morning event will bring roughly 1" of rain to my area. A nice soaking, but I am not overly concerned about flooding.
