You’re welcome. In the end, yesterday saw 2.67” of rain (very little prior to 9 am).

Central Park has 3-day rainfall of 8.05” through 10 am.

Yes. That’s correct.

Morning thoughts… More August rainfall records are being washed away at Central Park this morning… The August 21-22, 2021 rainfall total of 7.12” swept away the old 2-day August record of 6.87”, which was set during August 27-28, 2011. Through 7 am EDT, New York City’s 3-day total had reached 7.92”. That easily surpasses the old 3-day August mark of 7.20”, which was set during August 11-13, 1955. Additional rain and showers are likely in the northern Middle Atlantic region and southern New England as Henri gradually moves away from the region. Farther south, clouds will break this morning. New York City could see clouds break during the afternoon or evening. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 70s to middle 80s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 79° Newark: 85° Philadelphia: 86° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 82.6°; 15-Year: 82.3° Newark: 30-Year: 84.0°; 15-Year: 84.0° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 85.0°; 15-Year: 84.7° Tomorrow mostly sunny and very warm.

That source is way off for today’s rainfall. At 4 pm, the daily climate summary showed 1.90”. More fell since then. 000 CDUS41 KOKX 222034 CLINYC CLIMATE REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK, NY 434 PM EDT SUN AUG 22 2021 ................................... ...THE CENTRAL PARK NY CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 22 2021...

There will probably be a pause in NYC until Henri starts heading east again.

The generated chart is what is in the database. I am not sure where the differences arise.

New York City's Central Park received its largest 2-day August rainfall on record. Through 8 pm, 7.04" had fallen. That broke the previous 2-day August record of 6.87", which was set on August 27-28, 2011. In addition, Central Park set a new hourly mark of 1.94" rain yesterday. Daily rainfall records included: Hartford: 3.15" (old record: 1.95", 1937) New York City-JFK: 2.26" (old record: 2.00", 1994) New York City-NYC: 2.59" (old record: 1.85", 1994) Newark: 2.39" (old record: 1.70", 1994) Tomorrow will see clouds break for sunshine. It will turn noticeably warmer. There could still be a shower or thunderstorm. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.4°C for the week centered around August 11. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.45°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail into mid-September. The SOI was +3.46 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.833 today. On August 20 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.447 (RMM). The August 19-adjusted amplitude was 1.637 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 83% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 77.3° (1.3° above normal).

No. From 10-11 pm, 1.38” fell. From 11 pm-midnight 1.94” fell.

Large parts of the parkway are now flooded.

Bronx River Parkway:

That’s a small waterfall.

A normally quiet section of the Bronx River in Scarsdale, NY:

It has happened once. March 1983: 10.54” and April 1983: 14.01”

Through 4 pm, Central Park’s 2-day rainfall is 6.29”. That is the 4th highest 2-day figure on record for August.

With 0.39” rainfall through 11 am, Summer 2021 has become only the 10th on record to record 20” or more of rain in New York City.

A steady rain and light breeze on the Long Island Sound in southern Westchester County.

This is also why the NOAA makes adjustments as necessary e.g., through its homogenization process. Otherwise, data would not really be consistent or comparable.

Morning thoughts… Last night was a historic night in Central Park. For the first time on record, 1.35” or more rain fell for two consecutive hours, including a new hourly record figure of 1.94”. 2021 also recorded its record 3rd day of the year with an hourly amount of 1.35” or more. Total rainfall came to 4.45”, which broke the daily record of 4.19” from 1888 and was the 5th highest daily figure on record for August. Henri will pass east of Long Island before making landfall in Rhode Island. It will be mostly cloudy, windy, with rain. Heavy downpours are likely. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 70s and lower 80s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 77° Newark: 80° Philadelphia: 81° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 82.8°; 15-Year: 82.5° Newark: 30-Year: 84.1°; 15-Year: 84.1° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 85.2°; 15-Year: 84.9° Tomorrow will be variably cloudy, breezy, and warmer. Showers and thundershowers are still possible. For reference, daily rainfall records for select locations are below: Bridgeport: 1.42”, 1994 Farmingdale: 0.89”, 2019 Hartford: 1.95”, 1937 Islip: 2.21”, 1977 New Haven: 2.25”, 2010 New York City-JFK: 2.00”, 1994 New York City-LGA: 2.34”, 1994 New York City-NYC: 1.85”, 1994 Newark: 1.70”, 1994 Poughkeepsie: 3.70”, 2010 Westhampton: 1.41”, 1952 White Plains: 3.04”, 2010

Wow. H/T The intense rainfall.

Central Park received 1.94” of rain in the last hour. That set a new hourly record. The old record was 1.76”, which was set on September 8, 2004.

For the first time, Central Park has had 2 consecutive hours with 1.35” or more of rain, as 1.60” has fallen so far during the current hour.
