  1. Dumping pretty good under this band on Somerset. Very fluffy, high ratio. Less than a half inch so far, but let's see this can stick around.
  2. 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:
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Can see the surge occurring right now.
  8. That guide actually came out in late 2013. Maybe some WFOs disseminated and adopted more strictly than others.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Can confirm. I was the 2.76" CoCoRaHS in Somerset. 10.31" for the month.
  14. Absolutely slammed here. Picked up about 2.30" in 45 mins, and 2.60" in an hour. Pretty intense winds (would estimate at least 40-50 mph gusts) that continued for a while. Max rain rate on my Davis of 14.05"/hour, which I think is by far the highest I've ever seen. Definitely an upper-echelon storm among those I've experienced in my 39 years.
  15. Got around 1.10" from last night's storms, and 1.33" for the day. 7.43" over the past 18 days. But couldn't buy a raindrop for the 30 days prior (0.35"). Summer rainfall is so fickle.
  16. Not sure. Works for me. Can try this too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vowbpumt4dt0cjc/2020-07-24 02.45.47.mov?dl=0
  17. I took a loop centered on my location, but close enough to you to see much of it. 2020-07-24_02_45_47.mov
  18. Soon to be 7 of 11. http://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim_v1/nclimdiv/index.php?stn=NJ00&elem=avgt
  19. 1.54" from this evening's storms. Sub-severe imby, but a short period of gusty winds of maybe 35 mph. Very satisfying.
  20. Not sure what's up with the Met department page, but we're still bringing in the data through our NJWxNet site. So you should be able to find what you need here! https://www.njweather.org/station/1101
  21. Still at just 1.10" this evening? There's a bunch of gauges in the NJWxNet up your way with 2"+, and I definitely don't doubt what you measured in the plastic 4" gauge (I coordinate the program out of Rutgers; those gauges are top notch). The 2.52" is at High Point (not all the way up, but 1388'), and the 2.12" is our brand new station at the top of the main lift at Mountain Creek (~1394'), which I believe is pretty close to your location? Both are quite similar in elevation to yours, so doesn't seem to be a topographic thing. I'm really surprised by the difference and curious to see what other reports in the area show tomorrow.
