One downpour missing me just to the east right now, and another to the west. I'm being split again, lol. But with all the activity to the west, it's hard to believe our area will miss out on the heavy rain again.

About 0.7”. Been thundering almost constantly for nearly 3 hours

Crazy…I can’t even remember the last time we had severe weather back to back days AND two severe lines go through on the same day! We are always one line and done. -

foggy, windless, tropical rains. few rumbles of thunder. what a way to break the heat
-
The short answer is shear. In simple terms, CAPE is a measure of the fuel in the atmosphere for storms and wind shear is what allows storms to organize and not choke themselves off so quickly (should be at least 25 knots but preferably more). Today there was not much shear present so it makes more of a pulse storm scenario where they pop up and die quickly.

First little batch is getting me

Yet barely anything at my place just south of you lol

socked in with low level stratus/cumulus. not a drop of rain today so far.

Good catch - tor warning heading into Shipp -
And getting occasional quarter to half inch rain events isn't going to bust us out of this horrible drought. We need heavy rain events, and unfortunately getting flooding in spots is part of that. But we need it or else this drought will continue to get worse and worse, which is devastating for agriculture. Any anyway, people rooting for whatever type of weather they enjoy isn't gonna change what's going to happen. So there's no use getting annoyed with people for liking extreme weather. This is a weather board, so it's the place where you're going to find lots of people that are interested in extreme weather. Most people here want to see big snowstorms and blizzards, and those events cause damage and kill people. You can't help what type weather you like -- no one should be judged.

Yep. Severe famine here

Wind here is awful now. Holy crap. -
absolutely awesome storm ripped through westhampton last night 20 minutes after the fireworks. gusty winds, lashing rain, but nothing *too* severe like other people were affected in the forum. just a great show with very minor limb damage to trees. What are we thinking in terms of rainfall around SW nassau for the next two days? Driving to and from the hamptons this weekend I got a pretty good visual sense of where the worst of this vicious drought is and it seems like South West to South Central Nassau- and generally just the south shore, until around the Hamptons- has had it worst.
