80s yes; 90s doubtful outside the warm spot. The averages are in the 70s for temps out this way in western Jersey.
-
Decent lightening and boomers now. Heavy rains to my west, just barely missing it at the moment.
-
Ragweed pollen is distributed by wind primarily.

56 currently. Perfect morning.

The damage in north jersey is major, likely catastrophic once the rivers crest and the clean up bills are totaled. Sad to see the loss of life out of NYC. Just a tremendous amount of rain in an already saturated environment in the most densely populated metro region in the US with storm/sewers systems from the 1800s in some places. Recipe for destruction. Too bad the Garden State no longer has as many farms it was once known for.

Be careful. This has major disaster potential, maybe unparelled in recent memory.
-
But look at the current obs, compared to forecast. The trajectory could easily rival Floyd. I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think NJwx85 makes the best point; the Passaic will back the tributary rivers up; exacerbating the problem. That river meets the Whippany and Rockaway rivers before the Pompton. It’s a tremendous volume of water that drains a large part of northern NJ. And that’s just the Passaic. The Raritan river watershed will be worse in my opinion based on the numbers so far. Downtown Bound Brook is going to be annihilated.

The Passaic is going to destroy little falls/totawa/etc.

I’m just north of you. Getting crushed.

Ridiculous rains here. I have a river running through my yard. Tons of basement water. About to start bailing it.
-
Uncle! Uncle!
-
The river is going to be pumping! I couldn’t imagine what Skinners Falls must look like.
-
Looking out my window there is moderate/heavy rain. Not sure why the bust posts.
-
I’m under the red blob to the southwest of Morristown; should be fun.

What’s the gray area mean? (Slightly sarcastic). The Passaic/Pompton/Rockaway, etc. are going to cause problems.
-
Still humid, but a nice East wind. My squash took a beating in that TS last week. I’ll harvest what I can today, but plants are done.

Makes sense to me. I’m sandwiched between that 7.73” in Bridgewater and the multiple 6” in mt. Olive. My basement took on a few inches of water overnight, which is par for the course in very long, heavy rains. Thankful it’s unfinished and made of fieldstone from 1850.

Three smaller rivers are all flood warned, Rockaway, Pequannock and Whippany; all dump into the Passaic at Little Falls, I would think moderate flowing tomorrow.
-
River flood warnings on the Rockaway, Whippany, and Pequannock rivers so far. Rains have ended here and moved East.

No idea how much, but still raining. Wunderground precip map from Mt. Holly has me in “purple” colors. I would guess 6+ at this point.

Chester, NJ; power back on at 11:30; hat/tip power crews wundergrounds precip map has me in “purple” colors now. I’m guessing 6+.

Well over 3.5”; heavy rain continues. Just lost power.

Well over 3.5” at this point. Just lost power.

The trough is acting like a brick wall for the southern edge of the storm. It’s pretty impressive to see bands rotate in and get squeezed on that line.
