3-6 inches looks like a good call.

Slidell PD spokesman on WWL saying that this is far worse than anyone anticipated. And the live shot is showing some pretty bad conditions.

Worse than anticipated? They kept saying Category 4.

105mph 976mb new advisory. They said RI underway 

If we're 6 mph less than a Cat 3, I would've fudged the numbers a bit to get people to evacuate. 

If this already is a Cat 3, I would be concerned about how big this could get entering the warm eddy.

20 knots? That's not even tropical storm strength.

I used to live in Florida. This was the kind of rain we saw in Tampa around this time of year. I've never seen it rain like this in Bayonne. 

Holy cow! How was this storm not warned??? Just gushing rain, wind and hail outside!

I wonder how much impact Cuba will have on Ida?

Looks like the pivot is happening now. Hope we don't get a big nor'easter or another trop-storm or hurricane up this way in September -- we will lose all the trees with the soaked ground.

Did we get NAM'd?

Would you look at the size of that cloud? Wow. A real boomer coming.

Yea I wonder if those hold together and hit the island, could be a bit dicey

Waterspouts or tornadoes over water?

Macys was playing christmas music earlier yesterday. Too damn early.

The raindrops last night sounded like basketballs. Helluva storm.

Something wrong with the local radars? Only accuweather is showing that it's rading. NOAA Radar and Weather.com don't show any rain in our area at all.

Another day, another storm.

That was a fun storm.

Doubt there will be a Mets game tonight.

Unless the nam is right and we get under an inch

When in the world did the NAM underforecast rain for our area? Weird times we're living in.

Mets game has been canceled.

If Elsa goes over Cuba, she's dead and won't threaten Florida much. If she splits the uprights, she's more of a gulf of mexico threat, but I think she's too far north to do that. 

How is tomorrow looking? Any chance the Yankees get their game in?

How does Saturday look?

If every morning could be like this morning and every day be like this day, we'd be living in paradise. Not a single soul would ever complain about about sunny, low humidity, and 71. Just gorgeous.

Thanks. I need data for earlier in 2021.
