Woah. I know Orange is pretty big but what a difference in totals from one end to the next.

There is as much as 4" difference just in my town.

I think ill be able to physically watch the grass grow the next couple days 

There are vines and assorted invasives in my yard that look like they've already started. It's like a green wall across the back which isn't the worst thing, we don't really like the neighbors

2 day total 7.5, using 3 sites within a half mile. 

6+

It absolutely poured for a few hours and some local stations barely rose, it ranges from as low as 3.5 to the more common 4.2>4.6. I know my rain gauge got fukt when a branch landed on it at ~1:30, but it was over 3.5 and it's rained hard since. 4.5 at the mesonet site a few miles SW.

You and SNY are winning this one so far. I'm just reaching 3" since 10pm last night.

@update: Actually it looks like 3.3

Yeah it’s been pretty relentless since 10p last night. 

Relentless is the right word for sure. It was lighter most of the night but the last 2 hours it built to about .5/hr so it's adding up quickly now.

5.40” so far

3.53” since midnight

Wow. I thought my 2" was a lot 

I had .3 and very little wind. I mean, it rained hard for a minute or three but people never stopped their fireworks. After the heavy stuff it got foggy and they went nutz. The big sparkly stuff is kinda cool thru the fog.

Just got a quick quarter inch.

The popular notion and indeed most long range thinking this summer has been for the more typical El Nino pattern to emerge after the current heatwave with the big ridge retrograding and ending up out west leaving near to below normal temperatures mostly in the east with only short episodes of heat. I am rejecting this thinking and feel that today's Euro AI, GEFS, and Op Euro are more accurate in the depiction of two massive heat ridges, one out west and WAR. I believe that temperatures in the east are going to continue to be well above normal for most of the balance of the summer here in the NYC Metro Region. 

WX/PT

I agree. 

As dry as it is I bet we see some brush fires start tomorrow night. 

Looks like 94 will do it. I'm in Truro on Cape Cod and it got hot but stayed in the low 80s with a stiff breeze all day. Much better...

.3 at home yesterday. That fog this morning was no joke. 

Ended up with a few minutes of drizzle. 

Looks like we picked a good week to head to Cape Cod to do an outdoor event by the beach.

And here come the showers, man the models are all over the place anymore, but they look south of New Paltz as of now @gravitylover

Yeah it's nice here now. It's cool, breezy, mostly overcast but blue and hazy over the Gunks. 

.99

Yup  

Up to .99 today and it looks like one more line of showers incoming. I sure didn't expect an inch out of this but I'll take it!

Raining pretty hard here. Up to .4 already.

Do we think Saturday morning will be dry in New Paltz?

1.4

The drizzle has fizzled  If it doesn't rain again the event total is 1.4. 

It's raining hard again, another .1 and going up.

Up to 1". One of the showers that moved through was torrential for a few minutes.

Chilly and breezy with .7 in the bucket
