Pretty impressive and leaves a lot of coastal locations open to further trouble as we head through Fall and Winter.

Crazy storm in a crazy season. The rebirth of Fay and the birth of not so horrible Hanna will get us to just over 10 ACE points season to date as we close September. Still waiting on the first hurricane of the season. We've blown past that record.

Record high tide ranking.

Next 7 days per WPC. About as wet a forecast as you will see over such a large area.

41 years ago today: https://x.com/NycStormChaser/status/2104365901864919338/video/1 From what I can remember the power outages across L.I. were extreme and long lasting. Back in the LICO days.

Certainly going with quantity and not quality this season.

Three day event totals: Some 7-8" totals scattered around in there. Click maps to enlarge

Mist and drizzle ended here about an hour ago. Three day event total: 1.55". Happy to have missed out on the bigger totals as well! M.T.D.: 5.46". Y.T.D.: 46.63". Making a run at 50"+ year.

Lots of discussion over the last few days about how this storm should be classified. No shortage of opinions from several respected Mets. These two X posts make the most sense to me. It was shallow warm core and it did separate from fronts for a short time. No matter what it was not your typical cold season Nor-Easter and was not purely tropical. Hybrid or Sub-Tropical designation seems best way to go IMO.

Pretty cool radar evolution of this event from about 8pm last evening through current hour. Not your classic Nor-Easter look. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-eastcoast-comp_radar-200-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Event total rainfall here so far .99". Very windy overnight. Estimating gusts to 40 mph. Winds blew hard all night. Lots of leaves, twigs and small branches down in the yard. Numerous power outages in my immediate area. JCPL reporting close to 46,000 customers out across their service areas in NJ. Southeast New England and coastal Jersey have received the heaviest total rainfall. Forecasts for a high impact coastal storm worked out well.

Great cause. Good luck!
