It's ripping right now. Already 1" of rain and counting rapidly. 1/2 inch fell just in the past 5-10 minutes. Numerous flashes with plenty of thunder. More looks to be starting to develop off to the SW, so we'll see if it takes or remains spotty.

Stormy morning. Round one passed and a another cell is aiming this direction. Mammatus clouds present in the sky this morning around these storms. 0.3" in the gauges last I checked.
-
1.68" storm total here. Stars are beginning to come out now and will be a cool late summer night.

1.15" in Sparta. The skies were majestic, but I didn't witness anything too severe. The wind did kick up at the NJ state fair and made it exciting for a few minutes. There were a few CTG strikes around the area, but then it mostly ended up being a heavy rain event after that with some remaining thunder around. I'm seeing some breaks in the clouds now off in the distance.

Storms up here tonight. 0.42" so far. Playing back the radar loop, it almost looks like the small cell that developed over Warren County around 9 pm essentially absorbed the larger cell off to the west and then moved up through most of Sussex County. It was nothing severe here, but an interesting scenario. I work the NJ state fair this week, and today's shift was gross with all of the humidity. I'm in one of the exhibits most of the time with shade, but still. Stepping outside for more than a few minutes with the sun beating down makes the real feel almost unbearable for more than a few minutes. The rain, followed by a cool shower, felt good.

77F/75 DP 93% RH with sun out now. It feels awful.

Two areas south of Albany are up to 11" and change for the storm totals. There are some wild photos on facebook if you follow the meterologists.

According to their mesonet: 4-6 inch totals up that way since last night. 7-9 inch totals for the past 24 hours. Someone is underwater with those amounts.

I had 3.28" in the plastic and 3.56" in the tipper. Take your pick. Seems to match the Cocorahs map pretty well. Either way, it was a utter deluge here around 6:30 last evening and again around 10:30.

3.4" and still counting. I'm currently under my third heavy thunderstorm of the day with rain and thunder since 2 pm. Pretty wild day.
-
Deluge with scattered thunder and lightening. I'm up to 2", including an inch in the past 27 minutes. We're passing through 3-4 inches easily based on that radar. My street is a river. Meanwhile, if I'm reading it right, it looks a huge bow echo is heading into South Jersey. Wild evening.
-
Pretty wild up here with CTG lightening and booming thunder. Day has become dusk and the temp is down to 65. I've got speakers paired together all throughout the downstairs for the dog which is helping her today thankfully. Already over 1/2 inch of rain and looks like we're not done with this round yet.

Nothing here, but I could see the towering clouds all around in multiple directions. This station in Bergen County is showing an inch of rain in 10 minutes if you break it down into the 5 minute observations from 18:30 and 18:35. https://www.njweather.org/data?resolution=5minute&range=latest&station_id[]=1033

Ditto for Sparta. Looks great. I have a shiptload of them up here. We got five in the last week just from being out on the deck. I've found them crawling across the deck rails and even the deck chairs, and one up the wall of our kitchen! We don't even butt up to the woods, so they must be from the copious amounts of deer wandering through the yard. I just sprayed the hell out of the deck, deck planters, and surrounding lawn with pet safe spray so I'm hoping that does the trick. Ticks in general are really getting out of control and tick borne illness, some serious, continue to rise.

Cape May only had 0.71" for the entire month before today. There up to 2.83" for today, including 1.89" for the past hour and the radar is still training over that area. Amazing how you can get a lot of it back within a short time frame.
