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.

I topped out at 1.38" after the much smaller second round. In my childhood home in Lafayette - 5 miles as the crow flies, Mom reports 2.5", and she's good with the rain gauge, I taught her well! Zooming in on Weather Underground does show several reports in the low 2s throughout that general area. It's a bummer that Rutgers doesn't have more stations in this area. There is a rather big gap in coverage from the High Point / Vernon / Sandyston area down to Central Morris County. There is a station in Lafayette, I drive by it frequently, but it rarely reports anything anymore. Hell, I'll even volunteer to help maintain a couple of them if they put more up.

Just measured here and have exactly 1.25" in both the electronic tipper and the plastic one. The sun had come out but now clouds and darker skies have returned. It looks like more spots are starting to develop to the SW again and we'll see if they bring anything. I had a quivering, panting dog glued to me earlier so she is unhappy with this morning's weather. We'ved tried music, calming chews, treats, and playing with her. Nothing seems to help. As I finish typing, rain has started again here.
-
Looks like a hell of a drive on the thruway, even if it only lasts a few minutes, that's some serious precip.
-
Ripping up here as storms train through. I've already blown past an inch and counting just in the last 20-25 minutes. Frequent thunder and lightening.
-
Hey Sparta. Sparta here too - over near the health and wellness center on 517 (Sparta Ave) We were out from 11:15 - 11:50 but it came back, and then blinked again. We're good for now, but the JCP&L outages are stacking up. Almost 30K and counting. I have a small station over here but nothing fancy, as well as an official plastic rain gauge since the electronic tipper is unreliable, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

The reported AQI in Duluth, MN right now is 1129! I've seen a few others today just over 1000 in the upper mid west. We don't really track AQI regularly, but that is nuts. That cell down around LBI was nuts. I didn't smell the smoke as much sitting outside tonight, as I did earlier.
-
I can see the smoke now against the dark green woods moving through the wind. Strong smell. Interestingly enough, the sun seems brighter than it has since this all started. Maybe because it's more surface smoke now?
-
That magenta and deep red air quality is edging closer.
-
Most of it is probably aloft.
-
It must be a pretty serious issue given the length of the outage and no estimate for restoration.
-
Air Quality Indexes are off the charts in the upper mid west. Higher than 2023, The extreme readings are knocking on the door of Buffalo. Hopefully it doesn't reach here and without that satellight working, we won't know for sure.
-
Completely smoked in here with zero sunlight, and the storms have moved on, so it's not that. I only picked up 0.01", they went around me. I did hear thunder. There are a couple of Air Quality Index (AQI) of 800-1000 in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I don't think it got that high in the 2023 smoke out. https://www.airnow.gov/national-maps/ https://gispub.epa.gov/airnow/?monitors=ozonepm&xmin=-12204191.014333315&xmax=-7507899.996493336&ymin=4559496.5702827135&ymax=6460026.841564831
