On the topic of PWS. Does anyone know of a person or company that can help install? I'm located in NW NJ area and would appreciate any leads for someone that can set a station up for me. Thanks in advance.
-
So sad and so sudden. RIP.
-
The area roughly along and left of a Trenton to NYC line is done with heavy rain today IMO. Anything additional will be showery and on the light side. Southern half of NJ and L.I. (especially central and east) still in line for some locally heavy totals.
-
Those radar echos are over producing what one would expect based on moisture rich atmosphere. Not your standard rainfall rates.
-
Thankfully these extreme rainfall rates have missed the concrete canyons of NYC of late. Rates of 2-3" per hour can cause some significant flooding for the boroughs.
-
On another topic...smoke making progress to the east. Expect hazy skies here Tuesday / Wednesday. Nothing more than haze though.
-
1.16" here early this morning around sunrise. Most of that fell in 30-40 min. Total for the month to date 7.87". Big congrats to L.I. crew this morning! You deserve it. Has been a long wait.
-
Soils are saturated around my area (NW NJ) so if these heavier 2, 3 or 4" totals verify I would expect some stream flooding across parts of Sussex, Warren and Morris Counties especially.
-
Rainfall yesterday and over the last week. Warren County NJ seems to take the prize for heaviest and most widespread totals.
-
Has already returned to the Northern Plains this morning. Nasty stuff. I agree with "SnowGoose69" that NW flow should not be persistent enough to sustain it for a continued period of time and effects here should be mainly hazy skies. Not expecting low level smoke or smoke smell this go round.
-
Had .26" yesterday morning and 1.37" in about 45 min. last evening T-Storm. Total 1.63" for the day and 5.67" for the week which is on the lower side of other obs. in my area.
-
Amazing light show going on to my south. Brilliant cloud to ground bolts and flashes.
-
Can confirm "Picard" report. Just made the trip from Sparta area back to Mt. Arlington and it was horrendous. Incredible rain rates, numerous cloud to ground bolts. All cars crawling down 206 and onto 80 using flashers almost my entire trip home. The ponding on 206 was bad in spots and even on 80 in a few spots. Will check the gauge in the morning but some spots along my route home had to have picked up 3" easy.

NJ Climate Summary for June. Nice section on the intense smoke conditions early in the month. https://www.njweather.org/content/strange-just-plain-strange-june-2023-recap-plus-first-half-2023-review

As it has been for nearly every event for the last 8+ weeks.
-
90 day rainfall anomaly. Long Island sticks out like a very sore thumb.
-
Some rainfall totals. Click to enlarge.

Some rainfall totals.

Total here was 3.98".

Rainfall total yesterday was 3.98".

Almost done here. Will confirm in the morning but looks like about 4” in the gauge.
-
Feel bad for the Long Island crew. We've had a rapid turnaround over most of NJ. The latest Drought Monitor showed intensifying dryness across L.I. Don't think this "event" is going to reverse that for them. For my area it is now getting to be too much rain. I'd rather have too much than not enough though.
-
They have been pounded for last several hours.
-
That area around Bear Mtn. looks to be getting hit hard. Radar estimates of 4-6" so far and looking at radar it appears training has been and still is relentless. Bad situation unfolding with water pouring down the hillsides in that area.
-
Up to 2.27" here. Rounds of torrential rain mixed in with steady light / moderate rain. Based on slow eastward movement and some training have to believe I top out at at least 4" for the event.
