Getting some lightning now, winds gust probably 35-40 mph. I think I’ll alright but if we get anything in the 45+ range that might be an issue

Up to about 2.3” here, the core of heavy rain is missing to my north so I’m assuming this should be mostly it. Maybe another quarter inch or so

Roads starting to fill up now in SW suffolk exactly 2 inches in Lindenhurst. Also first 2”+ event here since October 2021

Getting some decent gusts now 30-35 mph or so

On and off showers out here, Up to about 1.44” now, 30+ dbz firehose is maybe like 6-8 miles to my west. Nassau and queens  looks to be taking the brunt of this now

Cross island to. Any rain floods parts of the cross island. I’d rather walk.


 

Back when we got hit by Ida, I remember cars were flooded to their roofs on the Cross Island.

Wind’s definitely starting to pick up now, gusting 25-30 mph or so

My dad is a foreman with Metro North Railroad said the flooding is pretty bad, Hudson, New Haven, and Harlem lines are all shutting down

I have about 1.25”. Still a long way to go but if 3k NAM is right (big if since it’s been flopping all over the place), we’re good. I don’t want to deal with flooded streets/basement so I’m totally fine with this being a bust other than just laughing at how the jackpot’s been in the same areas for the last 4 months. 

We definitely don’t need the rain out here, unlike earlier this summer, but it’s insane places just to our west and north could reach 10-15” of rain this month, especially after the same areas got that amount in july

Up to about 1.37” here, wondering if today winds up being another low bust for most of suffolk like the weekend event/Post tropical Ophelia. On a side note this is still probably going to be the heaviest rain event of the year here

Up to about 1.2” here in Lindenhurst

First heavy shower of this event is done, picked up a quick 0.18”

Someone might get that with a setup like this. My hunch is it'll be west of us but we'll get plenty too. 

It looks like something similar to what happened during Ida’s remnants might occur, at least when it comes to the rainfall jackpot, just with a more N-S axis. Hopefully the flooding isn’t as bad…

Radar estimates already show a spot close to 2” off the coast

Nice sunset tonight

Clear skies (almost) for the first time in years here, 1.94” is my final total

1.87” total now with this never ending rain event

Up to 1.68” here in Lindenhurst

Up to 1.59” since yesterday morning here after that last round of showers. Judging by radar I’m assuming the island isn’t going to get all that much more unless precip gets enhanced overnight

Up to about 1.37”this morning 

Actually felt a little bit like a tropical storm for a minute there with that shower that moved through, winds gusting maybe 30-35 mph or so. Up to 0.74” on the day for me

Up to just under half an inch here

Picked up about 0.18” so far this morning, winds gusting maybe 25-30 mph
