Excessive Rainfall and Thunderstorm Event

Not sure why they dropped the flash flood watch. The activity for this afternoon doesn't look to be widespread, but slow moving popcorn storms are already firing up and will be capable of dropping copious amounts of rain again. The threat for flash flooding continues.

It certainly does.  I'm under one of those popcorn storms now and it's absolutely pouring.  One of those days where the sun is out one minute and it's raining the next.

What a difference in rainfall around the town from the storm that moved through this afternoon. It came in hard and fast with torrential rates, couldn't see across the parking lot at Stop and Shop for about 4 minutes and very heavy for about 10 minutes overall with lots of lightning and strong winds. 1.5 miles WSW of where I was there was .03", a few blocks from where I was .24" and 2 miles ENE was .55". Strangely enough none of those 3 stations showed much for wind, 10 or less, but I know that it was easily over 20 and probably closer to 30mph gusts for 3-5 minutes and the lightning tracker I just looked at didn't show anything in the area but we all saw it with one strike in the shopping center lot that set off car alarms. Anyway, great quick hitter storm that was fun to be outside but under a roof in.
