Central Park above 7 inches officially(7.04 inches storm total) as of 8pm. That would be a 24 hour total too since it started at 8 last night.

 

I wonder how that ranks in 24 hour rainfall totals for NYC?

These precipitation extremes were measured at Central Park and go back to 1869. During that time, the heaviest downpour recorded for a single day there was 8.28 inches (210.3 millimetres) on September 23, 1882.

beautiful full moon out tonight

2.23 inches in the park since 7 am

Yea. Basically been a non event rainy day here since about 9am. We only got maybe 2-2.5" of rain since yesterday evening. 

how often do you get 2.25 inches of rain not often...

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

 

if we can get another inch or 2 we will i think have 2 months in a row over 10 inches in the park i wonder if that has ever happened before.

since this morning 1.29 inches of rain in the park over a half inch last hour..

It was always supposed to tug back west…

looks like it will head into long island after all if it keeps this movement and not rhode island

Wobbles tend to happen with these. We have to watch over the next hour or so to see if it stays NNW or wobbles back east. 

the storm is following the flow  from the trough

fairly significant trend NW tbh, its definitely drifting. If this trend continues brooklyn/queens could get a whole ton more rain and theyve already received a ton tonight from these bands that drifted away from Henri. I assume it will stop drifting west at some point and just be traveling north but the question is how much will it drift west and when will that westward movement stop? Im still relatively worried over here in central/southern Nassau.

clearly this rain was a connection to henri moisture no doubt

Where will there be severe flooding? From the rain? Long has Sandy soils which drains well. There are also few rivers and creeks which flood. Most of the island can handle 5” of rain without a problem…10” and you will see issues

flooding from the waves bayville for example always floods

already .52   of rain in the park.

looking forward to a rainy sunday in the city..

On the beach in Wading River. Sandy had minimal damage for us. Even with minimal damage:

There was no power for at least a week

There was several inches of water in the basement with associated water damage

There was a sharp 6 foot drop at the bulkhead and the beach was destroyed.

 

Even Irene, Which was a nothing burger for the five boroughs… As the storm came through big branch fell off an old tree in North Flushing, right into a bedroom and killed a guy as he slept.

 

Long story short, you dont wish for a hurricane to hit your forum area

 

 

 

8 inches or rain in the city from irene is not  a nothing burger

nice breeze blowing from the north i assume the front has passed by..

nyc only had  2 days of over 90 degree heat and doubtful we hit 90 today so officially nyc would not have had a heatwave..

it's a park the rest of NYC isn't a park and we shouldn't be using a park for temp readings anyway, how many of the official NWS reporting sites are parks?

 

nws feels it is important to keep official readings in the park,,

"This is our last heatwave" you said. Im holding you to that

a heat wave is 3 days in a row of 90 degree temps. i am very confident after this current heat wave that will not happen . until next summer.. unless this current heat wave did not meet such criteria, thursday and friday will be over 90 not sure about saturday or if the park hit 90 today..

i don't remember the last time we have excessive heat warnings going north of poughkeepsie and well into connecticut..

from the radar i figured we would have more rain then what fell in the city..
