I personally think it will be a SECS, with 8" to 10" across the board from Richmond to Philly.

True, I'm a bit worried though for my area in the Shenandoah Valley. We're usually the "sweet spot" for storms such as these, but I'm afraid I may be too far inland to get much precip.

That's a matter of opinion. I usually see SECS as 8" to 14", MECS as 15" to 23" and HECS as 24"+.
