The 6Z cycle of the NWS spectral code computes 5+ inches of precipitation in our area for the next 5 days. Some of that is before we start being directly impacted by Irma. If the track does come in a bit west of the NWS spectral code then higher amounts are possible. You may here even higher amounts from forecasters as they adjust the raw model output.

Tuc - how dependable is that precipitation forecast? Recently we had a storm that brought close to 4 inches in 2 hours. 5 inches over 5 days doesnt seem to be an issue.
