NJHurricane Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Very heavy rain right now. New Brunswick must be getting hammered Oh yeah....was working at the state theater....the rain overwhelmed a downspout...the water flowed down an alley building to a foot deep near an emergency exit where it leaked into the theater and trickled into the orchestra pit....they had no pump available so we hand bailed out the alley with buckets til it was below the doorway threshold....one of the other stagehands said water was rushing down albany street for awhile too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Only 0.35", most came from one lone thunderstorms about 2 hours ago. Not necessarily drought busting here. If we don't get more rain, the ground will dry up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxnyc Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 My total is at 2.82 inches at 65 street and 16 ave. in Brooklyn. Had to drive out to woodmere ny, very tough commute on that belt, Flatbush ave entrance is still under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxnyc Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think this is only the 5th time that NYC has had a day in May with three inches of rain or higher. I don't think I'm crazy but having watched the weather these last 25 years locally there is no question that we get our monthly totals in a day here's and there, flooding tornadoes etc, are becoming so much more common these last few years. What happened to a nice rainy day just two summers ago we got almost 9 inches On a Saturday night in August, a week before Irene people with basements have to work out better drainage plans if this is the new reality.

Wxnyc Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Not sure why when the euro was showing 1"+ for days. They did say that there would be higher amounts in convection, not complaining but wow this really snuck up on us. I realized that warm fronts give us the heaviest rain and often most severe weather here in southern brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 In June 1996 we had a closed low sitting around aloft for what seemed like weeks. Same pattern with mostly dry mornings and lots of pop ups in the afternoon/evenings. One storm dropped more than 6" of rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherGod Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hey everyone - what's the chance of a washout on Saturday? Having a communion party for my daughter and am hoping to be able to send the kids outside to play. ;o) NWS shows 60% chance of showers but am hoping for a break during the late morning/early afternoon timeframe.

Snow_Miser Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The bands in New Jersey that gave interior locations a good downpour are shifting their way eastward towards coastal areas, including New York City. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dix&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This looks like it will be the biggest May temperature drop for our area since 2010. Newark will approach 80 degrees on Friday and have lows closer to 40 a few days later.
