Up to 4.19" and our rate has finally dropped under an inch, it is now at 0.95/hr. It had been significantly higher, although never more than 1.75/hr,which was a bit more than 30 minutes ago.

Rain gauge here, in Fort Salonga, where we have finally moved into the axis of heaviest rain is up to 3.49, with the current rate at 1.70 an hour. If the overall rain area does not continue to slide east, it will be even worse. There is a solid line of red to our south and ssw. We have also had some loud peels of thunder in the past half hour, with more lightning seemingly approaching, based on the current radar.

I have been logging into Ambient weather, since I am one of the reporting stations and it is a great way to follow tropical systems through observing dozens of different stations in the regions being affected. t also see the reports on top current rain rate and wind gust from all the regions I select. Total rain, wind gusts and more in real time. Weather Underground also includes a barograph for their stations, and continuously recorded weather records for all of the reporting stations to follow barometric pressure, and to get the precise moments of storm passage over an area. Frisco, NC, in the Outer Banks, already had a gust to 55. It seems that virtually everyone on the outer banks has been getting gusts over 40.

It has been pouring since 11 AM, with rates as high as 2.72/hr. But we keep getting lulls and then periods of intense rain and thunder. Currently at 1.11 inches. All the local forecasts totally missed the boat. All official rainfall forecast, even now, say about 35 total for the entire day. Areas to our east and southeast have not even had rain, here was are getting storms generating just southwest of us that then build while over us. There really should be some sort of flash flood advisory for parts of Northwestern Suffolk. We are on the North Shore, at LI Sound, several miles west of Sunken Meadow.

Had thunderstorms within the last hour. Closest strike 4/10 of a mile to our west. We have picked up .30 so far. Since 3:30 PM, temp went up 10 degrees, as the wind switched from the east to the south. We topped out at 53.2 a short time ago, and now down from that slightly tp 51.3.

Crazy warm today. Already up to 67.5 in Fort Salonga. All the models seem way under on the forecasted temperatures.

Our current temperature is 9.9° with a windchill of -1.8°. I looked at six different models on windy.com and for our location at 10 PM they ranged from 12° to 15°. We are significantly lower than that.

A total of .50 inches from the storm, here in Fort Salonga (NW Suffolk, at LI Sound). Our highest wind gust today was 38.7, while my neighbor had a gust to 43. Currently 21.7 degrees, down from a high of 58.1 Lowest barometer was 28.98 at about 1:15 PM. That was the same time that the wind shifted from the south to the northwest and the temperature really started to plummet.

Precip is rapidly winding down. We logged .88 from this weather event so far, and earlier today had a peak wind gust of 27.3. The wind has completed its shift from ESE to N to NNW. Our barometer made it to 29.53 at 3 PM, before starting to rise a bit as the low passed south of Long Island.

The front came through roughly around 6, when the wind shifted from the South to West to North, fairly quickly. In the past half hour, we have dropped about 5 degrees. it is already at 50.7, which is at least a few degrees lower than all the models seemed to prog for our location at this time. I upgraded to Windy.com premium today (it's fairly inexpensive), and it is interesting comparing what all the 6 different models predict for our specific location. They all certainly got the exact timing of the wind shifting correct. We have a lot of trees, so it does affect our intensity here a bit. We did record over 27, while our neighbor peaked at 30. Our rain gauge measured 0.86, but he recorded a bit over an inch. We are in NW Suffolk, just off LI Sound, a few miles west of Sunken Meadow.

Feel better!

Round 1 of the rain ended before midnight with 1.13 inches and wind out of the S and SSE gusting to 21.7. It looks like the wind is going to increase overnight. Probably more wind than rain with that new batch.

Rain has been consistently gaining in intensity over the last hour. Currently at .52" and the latest rate at .61"/hr. Temp/DP 67.1/66.7 and both rising. Top recent gust, SE at 12.5 nph.

An incredibly beautiful day. We peaked at 76.3, 90 minutes ago. Now 74.3. Winds have now shifted to the North, with a recent gust to 13.6. Dew point now steadily dropping, 10 degrees in the last 2-1/2 hours, right when the wind started shifting to a more northerly direction.

We hit exactly 75° today, a minute before noon. Second day in a row of at least 75.
