The downpour in Somerset fell apart and radar is pretty quiet now. Looks like 1.06" is gonna do it here. Would've liked a lot more since we're in a severe drought, but at least it was enough to give everything a good watering.
-
More downpours popped up in Mercer and Hunterdon, so hopefully we'll be getting more here in a little while.
-
After a couple more small downpours I'm now up to 1.06". We'll have to see if more develops as there's not much more on radar to the west right now, but I'm glad I got at least an inch. Won't have to water the garden for a few days.
-
0.88" here so far from the overnight rain into this morning. Happy to get a desperately needed soaking for the vegetable garden! I see on radar that a downpour will likely be hitting here shortly, so we should add quite a bit more.
-
Just had a pretty good downpour. 0.45" so far tonight.
-
The batch coming in from eastern PA should give us a decent soaking overnight, even if we miss the heavy downpours.
-
Just had a pretty good moderate shower. I'm up to 0.16" so far. Radar looks nice with the big batch of steady moderate to heavy rain coming in from PA. Hopefully this will be a nice 1 to 2 inch rainfall for this area like NAM3km shows.
-
It's a very inconsistent model. Sometimes great and sometimes horrible. It did very well with last night's storms.
-
I see 0z HRRR gives our area very little tonight, with the heavy 1 to 2 inch amounts missing to the north and south. Would be very sad if it happens to us yet again. I know it's very hard for the model to pinpoint the spots that will get heavy rain though, so hopefully the 0z run will be wrong.
-
Sunday night through Monday night is far from a 3 day event. The models are mainly dry for Tuesday now. This has turned into more like a 24 hour event.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I think there will be areas that get 1 to 2 inches in addition to the areas that get lower amounts and much higher amounts. That's how it usually works when we have these heavy rain threats.
-
Hopefully 1 to 2 inches -- that would be perfect.

Since Memorial Day weekend I've had only 1 significant rainfall (a little over an inch), so I am desperate for heavy rain. I think most people that find agriculture important are rooting for heavy rain because we're in a severe drought right now. Not that we're rooting for major flooding -- hopefully that won't happen. But a 1 to 3 inch rainfall would be great. This heavy rain threat certainly is good news to me. I hope it doesn't disappoint -- we need to put a dent in this terrible drought.
