When I lived there (Austin) were definitely a couple impressive storms and a few tornado warnings. This time of year in May is their active season often with a lot of rain, the truly intense heat didn't get underway until July the two summers I was there (which were true hell). I lived there in May 2015 when there was over 20" of rain just that month and heavy rain almost every day. Catastrophic flooding in some places near me. But then in June it dried up and essentially no rain again until Sept 2015, and Oct 2015 was another deluge month.

WTF... Austin, TX's high for tomorrow is expected to hit 108. That's insanely early to be reaching that kind of heat and is actually not far from all time heat records there. The average high there this time of year is around 85. And it's expected to be 100+ for the next 5-6 days. This is more typical for mid-August. Must be feedback from the drought conditions over the Rio Grande Valley and SW flow/ridging.

Overdone again like the last storm generally when some models had 4”+. Was pretty obvious what the outcome would be early this AM with the split-screw setting up. Hopefully the last places with drought get a good benefit. SE NJ still needs a soaker. -
“Backlash” rain coming through. Light to moderate shower, maybe it’ll get me to 0.6”.

E Suffolk getting crushed. Someone out on the twin forks should get 3-4”. -
Yep and plenty of snow when the pattern supports storms into SoCal.

Looks like eastern 2/3 of Suffolk about to get slammed. Split-screw west of there. -

We’ll see, hopefully it’s right. Could be a brief heavy rain batch here while eastern Suffolk gets drenched with the stuff off the NJ coast. -

We’ll see what this heavy rain area over coastal NJ does but I’m doubting anything from the city east that causes flooding unless something trains and that might be over eastern Suffolk. Wouldn’t be surprised if I end up under 0.5”. -
Not seeing it. The steady heavy rain is well NW and maybe the stuff developing over coastal NJ clips eastern LI. Many of us on LI probably get the shaft zone in between.
-
I’m fine with getting the rain now since we often dry out so much in the summer. Build up the groundwater now and have it as a buffer when almost inevitably on LI we can go weeks without appreciable rain from June-Sept.
-
SE moist upslope flow helped enhance the rain over the Catskills.

Sun peeking out.
-
Probably 0.6” total here now.
-
Finally some heavier rain here in this batch.

I drove down in the evening-shorts and T-shirt at home, definitely needed a hoodie on the shore.

81 at my house too. Summer for sure

Mid 80s in Oyster Bay, 61 in Long Beach.

Fickle evolution. Hopefully the wetter models are right. It won’t cause flooding since the rain comes over a few days and we need to build up the groundwater for summer.
-
GFS has much of it staying west of us again and most of our subforum about an inch or so over the few days. This can still evolve in a way that’s mostly just chilly east wind mist and occasional light rain.
-
5" over a few days would actually be quite beneficial. We all know what normally happens on LI in the summer. Also we have to see how it evolves. Could be a few days of mostly raw misty crap on easterly wind while the real rain is west.

Wow. Reading today about much of the PSU campus/State College still with no power, and trees down everywhere. I never saw anything that bad when I was there.
-
Gorgeous. 75 this afternoon right down to the beaches.
-
Looks like it was quite intense heading down the I-80 corridor. In State College lots of trees down/roads closed. I remember some decent T-storms and small hail when I lived there but this seemed particularly bad. The line bowed out heading that way so I’m sure there was significant wind impact that whole area. Edit-saw report of 65mph gust at the NWS State College office.
