0.03". Heaviest stuff slides by just to my north, per usual.

Looks like the heavy rain is extending a bit to the southwest.  More downpours occurring here now, but they don't last long.

I was wondering something- if the ocean has a stabilizing effect, why is it that the south shore of LI seems to be a black hole for convective precip yet the Jersey Shore does so well with it?  Monmouth County (just 15 miles S of JFK) especially- both in summer and winter!

Maybe the orientation of the shoreline has something to do with it (north-south vs east-west.)

Shotgun thunder here as well, tons of lightning, wing blowing now, visibility about 1/4 mile, up to 1.21, 7" an hour rates!

Ever take a heavy rain video? I have a few (in the rare times we get heavy rain down here lol).  They can be pretty exciting, and the rolling thunder creates a 3D sound effect that really makes it memorable.  And the lightning acts like a camera flash and freezes water drops as they fall.
