Rain Delay at the Chargers game because of a Thunderstorm. They play indoors.

Some loud thunder here.  Glad I'm off today.  

Getting it here now.  Loud clasp of thunder right outside my window

That's the Costco where I was going to get gas tomorrow.  Guess I'll go elsewhere.

Not for NYC.

Just under 3 inches needed in 29 days.  Great shot at 3 straight months of 10+ inches of rain. 

My underwear is soaked and I'm wearing rain gear. Quite possibly the heaviest rain I've ever delivered in. Thankfully done. Once I make it home, I'll admire this one from my living room window.

2 blocks left to deliver. Sorry if your mail is wet

Just need the rain to hold off til 630 here so I can get everybody's mail to them dry.

Has there ever been 3 consecutive months of 10+ inch rainfall? Or could tomorrow put us on a good path to history?

I'm fine if the bulk of the rain falls between 0z and 12z, which looks like what the models are showing.  I have no desire to work in an all day monsoon.  

More rain here on the south shore of Staten Island after the pounding we took last night.

just had the best storm of the year...I figured these high dews would pay off...still pouring...

lots of ponding on the roadways here from the deluge.

absolute epic storm here on Staten Island. Lots of thunder and lightning with torrential rains. Did 25 MPH on the Korean driving through it.

Line popping up right now just southeast of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

Nice little t storm popped up after first shower dissipated...0.50" so far.

FFW being extended til 2:15 AM for parts of NJ and 3:15 AM for Morris

The 3.93 inches at the park is a bad reading.  The zookeeper only measured 1.5 inches of snow.  

Ok carry on.

Storm surge watch extend from LI and Southern Westchester into Bronx and Queens.

Odds 5 boro bike tour gets canceled...

They never do for rain even torrential but never had to deal with tropical systems since its usually in May.

I did the tour in '09 during a nasty coastal storm.  It wasn't fun.  I vowed to never do it again in the rain after that.  

Looks like it's going to hit Martha's Vineyard on the Euro.

Pop up downpours here right by the Outerbridge.

it was the odd the quickness the sun came back out when heavy showers and tstorms on the radar were right in or near the city the storms just went poof..i did not expect that.. that has not been the case for the city recently

The sun was out at the tail end of the storm by me a few hours ago.  It was sunny and pouring at the same time.  

The SI mesonet picked up 1.05” in just 15 minutes.
