    Stark contrast in Sussex County NJ... Count me in for 1.16" yesterday 250-7P in southern Wantage. Click attached for clarity

    So far... From what I can see on EPS GEFS, NHC will probably have to start TWO sometime between F 9/1-Sun 9/3...based on the two ensemble pix provided. While early model speculation suggests recurve out to sea s of Hat next week, lots of room for change. By the way on Ernesto, I was tandem kayaking Frenchman Bay-Gulf of Maine Wed 8/21 in residual subsiding 3' swells. That Acadia NP vacation prevented me from looking things over carefully for a topic regarding the killer flood ( 7+" )near Southbury in sw CT last Sunday the 18th, when I was traveling up there for a 19 participant multisport.

    I attached the OKX digital STP. The highlighted color is over 2". The PHI Digital STP is more accurate from our home on Linq. I also have STN Park in Sparta and WHT - Wheatsworth in Hardyston in 3 letter ID's which I've added as locations too my map. (ball parks I play senior ball in)

    fwiw: This part of southern Wantage NJ at least 1.14" 250P-7P with multiple showers and tstorms (my Ambient rad 1.28 but like most home weather stations, these read too high in intense rainfall. EC was nil. Best indicators of potential were in my opinion (looking back at multiple days of guidance... the 12K NAM, HRRR, and very weakly the SPC HREF which vastly underbid max amounts, by I suspect 2" since I was not in the narrow 2+" spots on the Digital STP, as seen on radarscope. ,

    I'd considered a thread for iso 5" FF rain tonight-Tue but I'm a little caught up in other things so it's as always, yours to comment. I'm lowering our pool, if that means anything here in in NJ, to allow for 21/2" to fill skimmer..

    Seems a little interesting to me next weekend IF the possible Ernesto has slowed to the slowest cluster off the Carolinas, then it would be interesting up the coast as at this time, the GEFS is sharpening the trough along 80W. Depends of course on Ernesto actualizing per the seemingly multi models, and then running slower than the mean. Check 06z/11 180-192 hour GEFS 5H.

    CpoCoRaHs amounts where there were reports overlapping 8/4-10/24 to match up with the original post WPC. Not too bad in our area by WPC and it would have been a much better fit but Debby ended up much further west D5-6. The first image shows the max amounts (reported in gold and red). Then the break down in our NYC subforum. Pockets of 5-7" evident in NNJ. Click for clarity. Wantage NJ (this part ) 4.81".

    Will attempt 8/3-9 CoCoRaHs summary maps around 9A. Indeed less than 0.15" NYC area last evening. Dawning a nice weekend and currently no expected post from myself on next Tropical system off the east coast later next week.

    Wantage NJ 8 s High Point 1.79 since 8AM, most of that in 30 minutes...probably about 1.5" in 30 minute ending 505PM. Total for period 8/3-8/9 ending 525PM/9 with lessening light rain in progress...4.51"

    SR94 near Hardyston in Sussex County NJ:: total 2 large tree branches down on wires NB side at 245PM, one attended to by electric company. Then at Wantage NJ 8 S of High Point, 2.88/hr rainfall RATE between roughly 445-5P with once in a while rolling thunder. AWN gage had increased 1.6" in about 30 minutes ending 505PM... will confirm rainfall total on Stratus climate gage when I can go outside but I suspect at least 1.6" since 8AM. Sent

    I too am a little uncertain regarding how much rain this evening, but the 12Z/9 SPC HREF still has a brief period of one tenth inch NYC which would be a game delayer if played. Attached is an image from the SPC HREF Fire products (MINIMUM wind gusts) which is lot of 40s (MPH) for LI. Already NJ spotty 40-45 MPH. Power outages are past 11000 meters in NJ, including my county in nw NJ showing power outages. Recommended my wife not go out shopping til at least 3PM in extreme nw NJ to avoid falling branches. My last comments til at least 5P. We'll all live well, but pays to play it safe, especially with on-going evidence of increasing power outages in NJ. LI may be next on the power outage problem late today.

    I think that is the smart move... especially with potential for a little wind damage prior to the pre piously scheduled evening game. Why put folks in harms way when excellent options exist for this weekend. Yes, they probably could play tonight, though maybe with a rain delay. NJ power outages increasing, just under 10K meters at 1130AM. At least tonights game wasn't postponed yesterday

    CoCoRaHs reports through the Friday morning reporting periods of generally 5-9AM EDT Aug 9. You can see the pockets of 5-7"already in NJ with a 9 down hear Trenton, and not seen here but Im pretty sure 9+ in very narrow swath near Bear in northern Delaware, that occurred solely between approximately 4-9PM last evening. Forced two small rivers in N DE to flash rise 10 feet in 5 hours into minor-moderate flood. Both have receded this morning. Had to have major impact in I95 in n DE but didnt see much in the media. NYS Mesonet 5.98 in the Bronx reporting station, as of 10AM. Debby track west of multi modeled around 8/4 post time, results in sparing the region of major flood problem today, but maybe not so wind uproots of wet ground created during this week. Still was life altering rains (delays, detours) for some Tuesday evening the 6th in NJ/LI/NYC. May update on power outages late today and remnant rain... the 12z/9 HRRR giving two bands to NYC-LI this evening, while most other 06z-12z/9 modeling less 1/2" NYC-LI-coastal NJ. From what I've seen, I think the wind damage will be important this afternoon...hard to tell how much, but smaller removable by hand wet branches down here in extreme nw NJ without much wind...max G so far 25-40MPH as of 10A in nw NJ. Click maps for clarity.

    Will add CoCoRaHs rain totals around 10AM (where they reported) for the period 8/3-8 to know where we're at. Strongest flash flood/power outage potential along the PA/NJ border Noon-5P, and I95-eastward 5PM-10PM. Spotty 7-9" totals near Trenton so far.

    A TOR occurred near Newark DE around 712P. Philly.com story as well. Nothing major but...
  17. wdrag
    Fwiw: I saw multiple 3-4" reports on DEOS northern DE/Chester Cty area of se PA and multiple 5-7.5: reports on wundermap (no quality control of wundermap reports as I think automated home systems tend to run high when rainfall rates are intense). Friday will be interesting, especially evening bands in PW off 2.5"... think a few rainfall reports on our area of 1-3" in 1 hr. Walt
  18. wdrag
    BEAR, DE. 3.87" on the Wundermap... everyone else less than 1.5 so far... PHI with the FFW from earlier.

    May be worth monitoring the area of showers, some very heavy in DE, sePA sw NJ. Might be (VERY LOOSELY) signs of a PRE. We'll see if grows as it advances northward tonight through e PA/w NJ. BIG rains involved there. Weak sfcc boundary with 20C 850 Dewpoints nosing in on se 850 winds lifting a bit over the boundary near the De RVR, weak RRQ of the 2H jet over New England. Not traditionally located in the power point composite link. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/hmt/seminar_files/PRE_NWS_Teletraining.ppt

    My guess is rain shrouded with low LCL, possibly not well seen in squally rains. Not saying what will happen but am recommending to be cautious late tomorrow-tomorrow eve and monitor any warnings.
  21. wdrag
    imo a good post incorporating machine guidance... and I'm in agreement. My take only... mm pretty certain FFA needed for tomorrow in NNJ, e PA and maybe a wind advisory for the coastal plain. Showery bands will continue rotating n-nw from the Atlantic and our sodden area should not be downplaying-dismissive the potential impacts here by Friday evening. I have to think power outages by tomorrow evening from squalls, possible svr and excessive short duration rainfall. Wantage had more rain overnight than what occurred Tuesday evening... (1/2"). So for many this will be no big deal going forward, except if you can't get home due to flooding-downed wires. the HREF referenced abeve does not include anything after 8P Friday evening when the I95 corridor gets a pretty good slug of additional water. I'm following HREF, HRRR, RAP, RGEM, HRDPS trends. All of these could be a tad high but the max's and bullseyes will belpful.
  22. wdrag
    Not sure if anyone is noticing the 06z-09z/7EC op, HRRR and RAP (future forecasts though may be overdone at times). Lots of rain coming. This morning all the yellows on radar at least 0.1/hr. and I80 south should do ok in the bands... adding up. PW near 1.9" today -Thursday along and south of I80 and up to 2.6 Friday night. Modeling is trying to get some decent showers moving north tomorrow, maybe in clusters ahead of the warm front. I'm not one believing an inch or less the rest of the way NYC. Doesn't mean I'm right but this is just not time to let the guard down. Additionally coastal plain winds Fri afternoon gust 40-50 MPH with fully leaved wet leaves and sodden ground making it fairly ripe for uproots and power outages I95 eastward. Not even convinced so far west on the Debbie remains track. Also sever later Fri? PRE will need to be explored late today for Thursday afternoon or night. If the future HRRR/RAP back off, then my thinking is incorrect the relatively dry NYC comments will be correct but I myself am looking for 1.5-5" more inches NNJ/NYC/SE NYS by 18z Sat.

    Two 7" CoCoRaHs reports near Trenton and one 5+ in the Bronx and one in Bergen County per OKX PNS at 1131P last night. Haven't checked much else. Will shorten headline around 9A.
  24. wdrag
    NYS Mesonet official climate site at the Bronx 5.15". Several NNJ climate sites around 3.5". Rainfall of at least 0.8" hour beneath heavier bands I95 corridor.
  25. wdrag
    Wundermap..automated gages...probably read a little high but spotty 5-7". Not official HIGHLY variable.
