ORH_wxman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It was an impressive event, but it was just shy of the amounts needed to cause real large-scale, dangerous flooding. The cut-off for that seems to be in the 5-6" range...Irene had about 6.5" here and Floyd around 7", and those both had widespread problems in Westchester. This storm was a minor inconvenience and didn't rise to nearly that level. Thankfully it did not rise to that level. It wasn't predicted to though...I thought the general forecasting of this storm was pretty good. Lots of minor (to some moderatein spots) scale flooding, but nothing massive.

codfishsnowman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I was in Narragansett at work and at times it rained so hard i could not see across the parking lot. No doubt we got five inches plus...and most of it fell from 3pm Friday through 3am Saturday morning. For a few hours we did get some southerly wind gusts to 35 maybe 40 mph as well and there was a huge sea on through the day Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonkis Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 So true. Part of the dam at the mouth of the river was removed last year to allow for saltwater fish to spawn - and the overall water level dropped by a couple of feet. It doesn't look like the river is any less flood-prone. You can urinate into that river and it floods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't need luck just knowledge and understanding climo, heck even yesterday was a +1 here with a high of 77..........warm nights coming up will ensure slightly positive departures during this "cool" period thanks to clouds and dews. Its a lock for + departures at all 4 in sne, not even close. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
