1.21" of rain so far today.  53F

Rained quite a bit this morning, apparently.  

2.08" today.  2.38" in 24 hours.  Like August never ended.  

1.26" on the day.  1.56" in 24 hours.   Looks to be fairly heavy for a while.  

Anyone feel it?  There are people down this way that said they felt it, but I felt nothing in my sleep.

Total here for August is over 17", 

That's nuts!

More rain from Laura than Fay....and Fay was a direct hit.  It's wild how many months have had double the average rainfall, or more, over the last 10 years.

I guess this is the cold front approaching. Maybe get a quick boomer...

83F / DP 75 

 

Yep.  Looking forward to the dews behind that front.

That must be a sauna. Muggy here but at least it's cloudy 80F /DP 75 

Actually not as warm here, but humidity is just about 100%.

Not much here yet but Laura's bringing the tropical air...DP 75

That's for sure.  The sun is out here now, too.  Shooting that temp and DP up real quick.  

So much for 9 inches.  lol

Okay, only took 10 minutes.  Getting some 4+ inch rates with these storms.

Jersey is having a good morning rainfall wise...not much going on in/around Philly and local N/W burbs. And to answer your question, I think you'll make it to 9"+...

75F / DP 73

Yeah.  It seems almost every radar return is a downpour and these storms having been training over me since about 9 AM.  I'll probably make that 9 inch mark in 20 minutes.  lol

Picked up 2.34 inches of rain over the last 90 minutes or so.  Makes it 8.47 inches for the month.  Can we make it 9 today?

I did go on and buy that lightning detector (was delivered Wednesday and I set it up yesterday) and I have been trying out the different sensitivities on it by changing the dip switches. I had gotten it to what seemed to be a reasonable setting after going from nothing with an obvious lightning flash to apparent interference signals (registering counts with nothing on radar), but with the current setting over the past 2 1/2 hours, I've registered 327 strikes.  I was initially thinking maybe I'm getting some interference and false hits, but a couple live lightning maps were verifying it and it didn't start registering anything until around 5:15 pm today, with the current setting configured yesterday afternoon and nothing registering after that until this storm today. It has finally settled down in the past 20 minutes.

Good to see it's working.  I assume that it detects all lightning, IC and CG strikes?

Somehow only have 1.16" of rain.  Seemed like more than that.

KDIX radar is under estimating totals big time

 

Has me at 0.5" while I'm really at 0.75" now.   

The lightning is wild right now.  This is only showing c2g strikes, but it's pretty much a strobe show.  So loud outside with the rain and thunder.  Crazy!  

About to get slammed.  Huge amounts of lightning!

Is that a sky porpoise? Awesome pic!

lol.  Somebody else said that as well.  Thanks. 

Went to Wildwood this morning to go fishing and this was my best catch of the day.  lol

Was nice and calm for a little while there.  Winds are cranking again though.  2.48" of rain total.  Lost DIX and DOX, I see.  

Apparently this is the tornado from Strathmere.  

Wind is wild now.  Must of had a couple gusts to 50 mph where I'm at.  Station is measuring gusts to 40 mph.  

Up to 2.34".  Winds are really starting to pick up now.
