I get why the rain shield is not advancing. Our dew point here, which was at 54.5 mid-morning, dropped to 46.9. It fell about 3 degrees from 2 until 3 PM. Winds remain very gusty out of the east, but the highest recorded was only a little over 18 MPH. (update: DP just dropped further to 45.5.)
Final storm total for last night: .78
Total for the month: 5.99
Meanwhile, News 12 LI is reporting that the NWS is in Mattituck to determine if a tornado caused the damage there last night. A woman had a tree fall onto her house. They have damage pictures on their website.
We got .44 in Fort Salonga, in NW Suffolk. Temperature and dew point really started to drop shortly before noon. Bottomed out around 4 PM, before inching back up. Now 63/59.
.94 for the overnight rains (a rate of 2.78/hour at one point in the 6 AM hour) and, already, 4.75 so far this month. This part of Long Island, at least, has been getting wet.
Thank you for the clarification. My neighbor and I both report to Weather Underground, and I also report to the Ambient Weather network. I see the radar totals you posted verified the higher amounts in our section of northwest Suffolk. I use the RadarScope app and noted it there as well.
Our storm total from the last storm was exactly 3 inches. A neighbor had 3.4." That map of storm totals had very incomplete data from Long Island, and seemingly no reports from northwest Suffolk County. On the map that was posted we are just east of Northport, bordering LI Sound. I saw no stations listed there.
2.84 inches, so far today, in Fort Salonga, west of Sunken Meadow, right near LI Sound. Showers now moving SE to NW, as opposed to all the precip south of LI moving W to E.
