Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.

1.9" in Somerset upon the changeover to rain (which occurred with no sleet or indication on correlation coefficient). Pleasently surprised as was mainly expecting a dusting or maybe a few tenths.- 3,610 replies

Not airport sites, but there are brand new 1, 3, 6, and 24 precip maps on the new NJWxNet map page here: https://www.njweather.org/maps/ Just select the desired maps in the "map layers" sidebar. Here's 6 hr precip. Over an inch at my home in Somerset from this morning's rain:

Hey, I know where that is! That's Landing Lane bridge, right? Just a few miles from me. Was just thinking how awesome it would be to watch today's storm roll in from the southeast way up in one of those buildings. Anyway, strong winds here too (sporadic downed branches), and 5+ minutes of hail, though most was rather small (smaller than dime from what I could tell). Around 0.70" in the bucket. Fun storm.

Yup, I'm familiar. I work in the state climate office and sometimes help service the stations. It's mostly a mix of Campbell Scientific EE181 and HC2S3 (more of the former). Then there are 14 stations that use Peet Bros equipment, which is more akin to backyard-type weather stations. With one exception (Harrison) and aside from the Peet Bros stations, we don't pull in any PWS data. We also bring in other professional networks, such as ASOS, AWOS, RAWS, some USGS, and a few others. If you go to any station page (e.g., Little Falls here), near the bottom of the page you can see photos of the site and a list of installed equipment.

I have a Davis Vantage Vue that reads high too when in full sun. Non aspirated, and well over 10 years old, so that may be part of the issue, but has read high for as long as I remember. But regarding aspiration, not a single temp/rh sensor (66 in total) operated by the NJWxNet is aspirated, but they don't have that problem. Aspiration is good, but not essential; perhaps has more to do with sensor design or just a biased sensor.

Getting pretty bad. This was not underwater 5 mins ago. https://www.mysanibel.com/live-street-cams?utm_campaign=SanCapChamber&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=SanCapChamber Periwinkle and Casa Ybel West. Very strong gusts too.

Can see the surge occurring right now.

That guide actually came out in late 2013. Maybe some WFOs disseminated and adopted more strictly than others.

You're doing it perfectly right. This is the same that we advocate in CoCoRaHS (I coordinate the NJ program). And yes, also doubling for posting here.

I'd just add that this page is a bit outdated, since it allows for 6-hourly board clearings. Current NWS guidelines have removed that option, unless specifically requested from your local WFO (e.g., airport stations). See pages 6-9 here: https://www.weather.gov/media/coop/Snow_Measurement_Guidelines-2014.pdf

50 mph. All, you can monitor those here (note: problem with maps displaying on Chrome; other browsers should work): https://www.njweather.org/maps/nj-statewide-wind-gusts-daily-max

75 mph at Berkeley Twp, which I think is co-located with the Toms River AWOS at Miller Air Park. So they definitely corroborate each other.
