The 1 AM model runs continue with the scenario that the heaviest precipitation is just getting started. The NAM has an additional QPF 1.20 inches water from now through 7 PM this evening. The GFS, has a somewhat less but similar QPF through 7 PM.
So the snow is just getting started; the storm is still near Virginia/Maryland right now —
