Event total here so far 1.12" with 7.22" on the month. No complaints. Breezy, chilly, damp and raw last 24 hours. Temperatures mainly in the mid 40's here over the last 24 hours. Heat on for 30 minutes this morning to wipe out the overnight chill. Still slept with the windows cracked open and the blankets up. Again, no complaints. As posted above by @MorristownWxthe Drought Monitor is significantly better. This current rain was not event was not even factored in. Possible NNJ is wiped clean by the end of the month. SNJ a little more in question.

Upstairs and down currently reading 65 and 64 respectfully. Did turn the heat on for about 30 minutes this morning only because we left a few windows open a bit overnight and it was chilly. Gotta let the cool air in! Bedroom windows open about an inch. That's what blankets and flannel sheets are for.

Just great weather (a bit windy) last few days. Low was 41 here this morning. Great sleeping with the windows open and the blankets up! Not going to go on much longer so I'm enjoying it while it's here. The muggy and sultry weather will be here soon enough. Meanwhile everyday without it is one less day we have to deal with it.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14723605/Brooklyn-Bridge-hit-boat-jaw-dropping-footage-shocked-onlookers-watch-pier.html Happened about 24 hours ago. Not sure why just being reported now. Ship was too tall it seems.

Same here with the wind. Had a few drops of rain but the wind went from near calm to I'd estimate gusting to 40 mph for about 90 seconds. Trees bending and lots of leaf debris. Back to near calm within 5 minutes.

Wow, had no idea Gypsy Moths were so active on L.I. Agree with your list of biggest threats. Especially Ash borer and Asian Longhorn, they have been a problem for a while and really show no sign of easing up anytime soon. Big problem with those two.

This is ongoing now or in the past? If Walt had not posted I would not have known they were active anywhere in the area. Hope it does not get out of hand here in Jersey. The spotted lantern fly was a bit of a problem Summer of 2023 but just saw a handful last Summer so hopefully that problem is over? Have not heard much on them either.

Worse is when you hear the poop falling like rain through the trees. I remember once back in late 70's or early 80's there was near total defoliation of trees especially oaks. Just disgusting critters. Nothing here in my area and I'm not that far away from you and I hope it can stay that way.

Nothing here but picked up .81" yesterday. Total for May to date = 6.10" with additional 1-2" rains coming up mid to late week. Drought conditions fading fast. Sharp clearing line now moving in from the west.
-
Same here. Did not check gauge but looks like about .40" here. Few rumbles of thunder and hardly a puff of wind. Main show was moderate to some heavy rain. Skies brightening now.
-
Meanwhile CNJ is drench warfare. Serious training all morning. Going to be some BIG two day totals coming out of that area.
-
Received .77" last 24 hours (8am-8am) with a 2 day total of .81". Still periods of light to sometimes moderate rain ongoing. Doing well with rainfall so far this month. It could back off for a bit now.

Had an additional .85" rainfall last 24 hours (8am - 8am) for a two day total of 2.38". Total 5/3 - 5/10 = 3.66". Sunny and breezy this morning. -

Received .40" snowfall with a morning low temperature of 26 degrees. I was at a funeral down in Trenton in 1977. I was a young teenager and I remember standing at the cemetery mid morning with a cold wind and a snow squall going on. Horrible day I try not to remember but can never forget.

On this day back in 2020.

Received 1.53" here last 24 hours (8am - 8am) with a weekly total (5/3 - 5/9) of 2.81". Rain came down hard at times predawn through about 7am. Everything lush and green. Much appreciated rain this week. -

Just .06" last 24 hours (8am - 8am) here. Five day event total = 1.28". While a far cry from early advertisements of 3-6" it was a slow and beneficial rain event spread over several days. Some places clearly did better than others but most everyone received .50 - .75". Beautiful sunny, dry and breezy morning. Additional rains 1-2" (maybe some locally higher amounts) Thursday night through Friday. All in all when the recently ended event and the upcoming events over the next 5-10 days get added up the drought conditions should be pretty much erased.

Can do without the hail but would be happy with another .5" of rain or so if lucky enough to get under a heavier downpour.
-
Received .62" last 24 hours here - 8am to 8am. Four day event total = 1.22". Quality over quantity. The 1.22" has been slow, gentle and spread over 4 days. All of it got to soak in instead of running off. No excessive totals (3-4"+) for this forum so far but some places did better than others.

Latest EURO for JJA agrees on warmer than normal Summer. Especially nations mid-section where it shows the largest positive departures. FWIW.

Rainfall totals so far over the last 3 days - click to enlarge. Received just .09" here yesterday for a 3 day event total so far of .60". As I mentioned yesterday the best totals so far have been over far NW NJ and radar yesterday was certainly confirming that yesterday afternoon. Radar echoes now rotating in from the southeast as opposed to last 3 days where things were moving NNE. Best / heaviest totals next 24 hours look to be from NE NJ on east and north. Lighter amounts elsewhere.

Guidance only but this WPC product has shown shrinking rainfall totals for days now. If I get what is shown here for my location and add the .50" I've had so far I'll end up with about 1.75" for the entire "wet period". I'll take it for sure but a far cry from what could have been and much less than what was being forecast from when we started. We'll see where final totals actually end up but this was a shaky heavy (3-4"+) rainfall evolution from the get go. So far extreme NW NJ seems to be doing best, from western Hunterdon, western Warren and up through NW Sussex.
-
Received .19" from overnight showers. Two day event total = .51". Need more but something is better than nothing and the ground is at least somewhat primed for anything heavier over the next 1-2 days.
