Yeah if it could just go ahead and stop raining for a bit that would be nice. Our COOP building had never had as many leaks as this year with how hard and wind driven the rain has been. It is literally finding all the crevices to enter the building. Can't wait to move within a year to a bigger place (hopefully without any leaks because this is ridiculous).

Makes sense. We are in the marine layer out here currently. If we can get an organized squall line I could see it making a decent way out on to the island. But the beat chance will definitely be from the city west. 

I think even that is a stretch. Looks like the hudson valley and points north and east of there will do well. I think New Hampshire and Massachusetts have the best chance of severe weather IMO.

Looking through the list that Don posted above it's strange that all around me reported over 2" but the closest station on the list in Croton Falls was only 1". Looking through a variety of other sources everything was over 2" also so I guess that one gets tossed...

The only way to really know how much rain fell at your house, is to have your own rain gage. With convection the amounts can vary widely over very short distances.

77/75 with breaks of sunshine.

75+ degree dew point #41 at my station.

77/76 at JFK, the #42 75+ dewpoint here.  I wonder what the latest and earliest 75+ dew point days on record are?

https://classic.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-jfk/KJFK/date/2018-9-26

So far about an inch and a quarter of rain between the last two days, most of that fell last night.

It looks like October 10, 2017 was the latest 75 degree dew point at JFK.

Thanks, Chris, looks very close to our latest 90 degree day, which was October 10, 2007 I think?  Do you have a number for our earliest 75+ dew point? I would think it wouldn't be any earlier than April, just like the first 90 degree day.  Do you have that graph for 75+ dew point days updated for number 42?

It's been sunny here and feels both hot and is humid and I'm going to turn the AC on lol.  I think tomorrow is the anniversary of Hurricane Gloria.

Today was day 42. I would have to look up the earliest 75 degree dew point. But last October 9th was the latest 70 degree minimum temperature on record at JFK.
