If the NWS finds Newark’s readings to be in error at least it’ll be fixed, not sure if they adjust any records but Central Park is a known issue with no solution in sight.
As dry as it’s been I don’t think Newark’s readings are divorced from reality, but what do I know.
ISP’s 13” in 3 hours in 2014 really continues to stand out for me with all of these extreme rainfall events.
3 hours. More than 1 month’s worth of rain per hour.
I’m on the south shore near ISP watching the storm roll on by, only some loud thunder.
Traveled on NY135 earlier and you can see the transition from green in the north to browning in the south.
