Still at just 1.10" this evening? There's a bunch of gauges in the NJWxNet up your way with 2"+, and I definitely don't doubt what you measured in the plastic 4" gauge (I coordinate the program out of Rutgers; those gauges are top notch). The 2.52" is at High Point (not all the way up, but 1388'), and the 2.12" is our brand new station at the top of the main lift at Mountain Creek (~1394'), which I believe is pretty close to your location? Both are quite similar in elevation to yours, so doesn't seem to be a topographic thing. I'm really surprised by the difference and curious to see what other reports in the area show tomorrow. 

1.3 final...maybe rain was harder locally etc

Saw philly airport over 4 inches!

Storm total 1.3

Bust here.

anytime a storm hugs the coast at is near cape May...I get dry slotted.

Sorry for confusion...was looking out and guessing

Your location worked to your disadvantage as the heaviest bands didn’t quite make it that far into interior NNJ.

Understood 

people always question my snow totals in winter....I question rain.

from what I see. My Davis I took down months ago  was good.  Tube I bought for that coohr stuff is awsome.

radar estimate are typically wrong with Mt Holly. You don’t see rain....as in snow.

sold my house & gf & wife moving to Portland Maine.

my point is get a reputable rain guage.

Just going to say it.

i have an official rain tube that I paid $37 plus shipping used by Rutgers.

lots of shady back yard rain guages.

Radar more bark than bite on my street.

Rain drop size not all that impressive. Winds make the rain seem more impressive than reality.

If the center can align better with the mlc then she could get to 60-65mph. Doesn't look bad on IR.

I'm predicting stronger impacts than currently forecast. Some 6"+ amounts likely.

track has all the ear markings for 2-5 inches coastal New Jersey.

not expecting much in my area. Inch or so with some decent wind gust.

congrats Monmouth County

Welcome to summer am I right?

I did get a nice sunset.

As a comment: big summer storms are like a good dinner to me.  You get the appetizer, the anticipation, big heat and humidity, you watch it roll in, outflow breeze revves up, maybe you get a nice shelf cloud.  Bam, it hits, big rain, wind, thunder and lightning, hail if you're lucky.  It rolls out, you're absorbing everything that happened, and just as you do, a big beautiful sunset appears.  Dessert!  God we are so lucky to be weather enthusiasts.

Here's today's dessert straight from Piscataway.  Camera phone can't ever do it justice but it was good for a summer sunset.

 

QVC is doing Xmas in July.
