  1. The photo below was posted on FB earlier. It was taken on Great South Bay to the north of Fire Island Pines after 5:00 PM. This is looking towards Davis Park.
  2. 48 here. Has not even reached 50 today. 0.54” so far with the event.
  3. There’s a lot of people on this board that would not want a repeat of that one.
  4. Storm totals for the 10/2011 event
  5. The flooding in the city is being caused by an inverted trough (IVT). In this setup the winds are coming from different (opposing) directions on either side of the trough in the lower levels of the atmosphere. The result is moisture present in the atmosphere is being forced to rise where the trough is setup resulting in the downpours that are being experienced. These features are known for being prolific rain producers and as long as this one remains where it is the problems will continue.
  6. This was never going to be a big hit for eastern or northeastern PA. FWIW I have two weather stations. One here in eastern PA and the other on Fire Island (Both are Davis stations). There is a 12” difference in the YTD rainfall totals between the two. When we were getting deluged back in the summer those areas nearer to the coast were dry a lot of the time. Now that difference is getting worked off - unfortunately a lot of it in one day.
  7. I guess you were not old enough to remember it with much detail. This was the worst storm to hit LI in the last quarter of the previous century.
  8. If you want west pay attention to what the GFS is doing with the following system (Nigel?). It’s very much locked in on a potential east coast threat two weeks from now.
  9. That westbound outflow boundary has really ignited the atmosphere over NJ and PA. My dry weekend is gone.
  10. Here comes that outflow boundary. You can see the towering CU behind it.
  11. I am hoping for the same here. Especially after the pounding we took Thursday night.
  12. I took a new photo and you can see the towering CU over western NJ which will fire new cells.
  13. You guys on the island are taking it on the chin with this pattern. My station on Fire Island has not measured so far this month. Meanwhile storms are firing up in NJ and racing off to the north and west.
  14. With this one did the trough cut off over the SE or was this a deep meridional trough?
  15. This is what it looks like from here
  16. I am seeing the same thing. This is actually a repeat of what happened yesterday.
