Yeah that's wrong. They forgot to use the numbers from Floyd in 1999, 14" in Fahnestock and other similar amounts in the area. 

Wonder why they never edited or fixed it. Or maybe it was talking about record amounts in a certain time frame? Not sure. 

Hey Long islanders, who remembers this?

Not happy for a weekend washout. But I’m ok with it. Need it on the south shore

Oh come on dude. Lol. I won’t even door dash if there’s more than an inch of snow

Round 3 
 

Fun forming on the immediate south shore now 

Another just formed to my SW about to impact babylon. Like I’m chasing snow bands over here.

South shore miss again…

Really? I got a nice downpour in west Babylon between sunrise and southern state 

Barely any rain all summer in babylon. Starting fall with a little hail lmao 

Pingers. 

Getting skimmed in babylon. Heaviest rain since June. 

Underwhelming in west babylon. But it was heavy for a bit. No measurement but I’d guess maybe .5

It’s really really bad. More dead trees on the wantagh and southern state everyday. Amazing what a few miles can do.

Yup. I live by belmont park. The trees hanging on. Probably ground water at the lake. 

Feels like July outside right now

My guess is .45"...

We had two rounds of 5-10 minute rains... The second being hardest... actually saw lightening and thunder!

Easily the wettest night since early June!

Up to about 3.25" since June 1st..!

I heard the thunder as I was waking up around 6. But it was in the distance

Damn. Slept through it. Some puddles though. Did the south shore get anything meaningful? Lol 

Oh.  There was a second round. That looks to have clipped me good

At least your area made a turnaround. Grass is pretty resilient and can bounce back after periods of being dormant. What I’m noticing out here on the island for areas that haven’t had any rain is the tree damage seems most severe in man made locations. For example parkway ramps. Ground water is gone in those locations. However when you look at undisturbed forest there is still enough ground water left for the trees to be hanging on.

In my area we have had like half an inch of rain since July here on the south shore

lots of  trees are wilting and dropping leaves. I can’t remember last time I saw this.

Good Wednesday morning,  

 

I read complaints about less than 1" rain fall--parts of the e 2/3rd LI and near I78 in NJ.  Everyone else had 1+ with many reports 3-5" ne PA-nw NJ se NYS-CT.  The region nw of NYC is the important part for NYC drinking water.  Overall, I think the modeling did VERY well attempting to highlight general rainfall, including MAX 7-10" and the bands as Bluewave and others pointed out.  1970--- that wouldn't be happening. 

 

Lawns (Cone Flowers)--not critical.  

Droughts are natural processes and so they exert stress but if we manage... we get through it.

 

I've attached, for what it's worth ,the NYC Reservoir system which as of 9/6 was 11% below normal.  Today and tomorrow it will be less below normal as it continues to pour in parts of these reservoir areas as well as heavier rains getting ready to spread southward for a few hours from e PA and extreme northern NJ into west central NJ,  before fading tonight. 

 

Have a day.

 

I’ll be up in Delaware county this November. We hike the creek that feeds the reservoir up there.

It wasn't enough for most vegetation around here. Honestly looks like October out there with all the stressed trees. Bad foliage season coming up like we had in 2020 when the salt spray from Isaias destroyed the trees around here

Lots of trees in my neighborhood have been wilting and some already losing leaves. Major drought stress. We missed all the thunderstorms in my area. I’m honestly really worried. The .5 we got yesterday could have no way made it to the roots. Hoping the trees took water in from the leaves if that’s even a thing. I’m worried for them. We need a soaking rain and fast.
