Absolutely pouring again. Impressive rain rates.
-
It’s kind of insane, to me at least, that that was completely missed by NWS. I honestly couldn’t believe how windy it was. Probably windiest it’s been all Fall. I’m getting a gust here and there but no howling wind through the trees and nothing rattling the house. I’m certainly not complaining, hopefully it stays that way.
-
No real wind yet, but damn it’s pouring.
-
Rain that is falling (and we’ve had more already than I would have expected) is very tropical in nature.
-
Probably smart to take down any breakable decorations, unplug blowups and put smaller furniture in the garage right? It’s annoying but probably the smart move.
-
I know it’s still 5 or so days away but Sunday night/Monday early morning looks like it could get nasty, especially the further east you go.
-
Just had a gust of wind blow over my (full) garbage cans and my stacked Adirondack chairs (which I do whenever there’s even a chance of gusty winds) off the porch. Gotta take a 45-50mph gust to do that. I understand a shift in direction with a coastal front, but to not even put it out there that these kind of winds were a possibility is big L for the NWS.
-
I don’t know what the exact number is, but it is way windier than “30mph” gusts.
-
Those were two I didn’t look at. GFS and all 3 NAMs don’t really have (I’m on LI) until around 3ish, if not later. I defer to the experts, I know you guys said GFS isn’t always best close to an event.
-
NWS pretty bullish on giving us rain tomorrow through the morning until Monday although all these models im looking at don’t have rain starting until late afternoon and it looks to be pretty light. Kinda weird.
-
Where the hell was this weather when I was off last week? Lol, absolutely sucks to be going to an office for the rest of the day.
-
Just drove from Babylon village to West Islip…roads are flooded everywhere. Corner of Higbie and Union was halfway up on my tires. Can’t imagine if it had been like this all day here. Good luck to those who did.

Lol, yeah, not gonna drive to Gowanus. It sucks, but it seems like the right thing to do with all these posts I’m seeing. Thanks for talking sense into my thick skull.

All I gotta say is, despite the fact this weather is really screwing up something I’m supposed to do, is that @wdragnailed this thing like 5 or 6 days in advance and that’s incredibly impressive. Thank you. How stupid would it be to drive from West Babylon to Gowanus (and back) around 10:30/11am for something that’s not necessarily that important?

I don’t know if anyone even has an answer for this but I’m planning on driving into Gowanus right around noon. I’m hoping for a quick in and out, how bad is it gonna be around that time? Any answers are appreciated.
-
I go back to work on Monday so it’ll end Sunday night. Terrible week to be off and next week’s forecast is a slap in the face.
-
Irene was more of a northern straight shot that came in significantly west of Gloria. Gloria came in right through the heart of LI and on more of an angle off the NC/VA coast.
-
I grew up in North Babylon. I was 8. We went outside when the eye passed over. The most hellacious part of the storm was when it restarted. Lightning hit the tree in front of my house. We had 2 trees end up in our (new at the time) pool. Didn’t go to school/no power for a week. It was the first thing in my life that piqued my interest in weather. Just amazed me what weather could do.
-
Literally couldn’t have picked a worse week to be off. This weather is frustrating.
-
Windiest it’s been by me since this began. Getting 30-35mph gusts every 2 or so minutes for about 15 minutes now. Happy I walked my dog when I did. Got my footie session in on Sat morning too. Played about 75 minutes and got out in one piece.
-
Looks like our vacation spot (Sandbridge Isle, VA) is gonna take a nice hit. Hopefully not too much surge there, it floods there during a typical summer thunderstorm.
-
That history page is absolutely bananas. That storm ripped through here in literally an hour or two and was an absolute monster. Thanks for posting this.
-
You guys would know better than me…NWS has rain starting by 8am on Saturday…looking at the models, this seems to be a little early on the predictions, no?
-
If that is the case, then your post is spot on. I’m just praying to get in a pickup footie game this Saturday morning. I’ll be 7 weeks removed from a partial tear in my calf. I’ve jogged and ran a bunch of half-speed suicides, but kicking the ball around and running and cutting is the real test.
-
Looks like we wouldn’t really get most of that moisture until Saturday night into Sunday and then most of the day, according to the GFS. Saturday looks like it could be a decent day but Sunday looks like a washout.
