Larkfield Rd in Commack closed from flooding. At least this time it didn’t shut down Jericho Turnpike. Huntington Village flooded pretty good too, that’s where there were amounts over 4”. Otherwise getting pretty gusty now.
Looks like 3.8" will do it here. Kudos to the HRRR for nailing the heavy rain just north of the warm front and developing band with the cold front. Still have 7 days left with many/most of us over 10" now for the month.
Even better, tonight it will probably get below 30 here. Wonder how much of this will ice up. Still raining moderately. Closest gauge to here says 3.48". Seeing 4.02" in Huntington Village just north of here and some over 4" in N Nassau.
Heavy rain band w/the front that was advertised on the hi-res models is getting together and coming east. Yard is a pond again and more to come. We're turning into a rainforest.
Definitely a big event for Glens Falls/Lake George area. Good for them.
Downpouring here currently. I'll probably make it to 3". We'll see what happens further east where the relatively spared zone's been so far.
Usually happens with these. No mid level closed low to slow it down. Should still be some heavy rain amounts though north of the warm front where lift is strong. W Suffolk through NE NJ/Hudson Valley/S CT should get drenched in the next few hours.
RGEM continues to nail MBY but some of the hi res models especially are worst over the usual suspect NJ/Hudson Valley areas. I'll be perfectly fine with getting relatively spared.
Last year or the year before GA had a very damaging freeze for the peach crop after a freeze hit right after our new normal much warmer than average “winter” started the growing season early. Maybe this will be a more frequent occurrence in this new climate normal with the growing season starting earlier and earlier but still prone to cold snaps.
Models flipping wetter again at 12z. CMC has 4” for parts of LI. Quite the nice CCB that develops and nails most of us on Saturday. Too bad there’s zippo cold air until you’re well north into NY State/NNE. Could’ve been very nice if some cold air could stay around beforehand with this track/evolution.
Maybe LibertyBell can suggest a chemical we can mass release into the atmosphere/oceans to raise the freezing point of our water and make it be able to snow at 50 degrees.
I think generally it'll be okay here, again if it holds the bugs/mosquitoes off for a while I consider it a win. All this rain will mean swarms of them soon.
