Lower Manhattan to Canarsie has 6-7" by radar estimates. 

Sky is brightening up south of me. Rain should be mostly be done here soon (not for northern NYC and North Shore-looks socked in for a while there). 

It's going to pivot back later this afternoon and tonight right?

It'll linger around for a while but it seems like the back edge is inching its way north. We'll see I guess. It's definitely not over north of me through NYC and Hudson Valley. Sort of the same precip shield/orientation as 2/25/10 with the pivoting NW low.

Major flooding of homes in Brooklyn last night.

 

How much rain do you think Brooklyn has had so far?  8 inches?

I was just thinking about that!  That night with all the wind and snow was unforgettable.  There was snow sticking to the sides of houses!

There was definitely a band of decent winds for awhile in Nassau/W Suffolk but the last 30-45 minutes it seems to be dropping back down again.  Were some gusts of 28-34 for a time

I'd say generously in Long Beach we had 25-30mph gusts. Now it's practically calm.

Parts of Brooklyn are probably over 8” by now with this band stalled out.

Kings County...

Not sure if this has been posted, but look at the radar-indicated rainfall in parts of CNJ and NYC/NENJ, especially southern Middlesex (over 9" in Cranbury) and parts of Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer, Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington.  Nuts.  

[nycwinter]

since this morning 1.29 inches of rain in the park over a half inch last hour..

[Rtd208]

Picked up 2.85" of rain so far today.

Storm total of 3.25" so far.

[psv88]

Remember when the GFS had no rain for the city?

[tdp146]

3.10 on my weather flow but it’s almost certainly too low. The wantagh mesonet is 4.5” and that lines up with the radar estimates. I do like the weather flow devices for everything else beside the way it measures rain. It’s some sort of algorithm based on the size of the rain drops. Sorry, but no technology beats measuring water in a bucket. 

[BxEngine]

Incredibly heavy rain rates with that line moving though rockland.

[uncle W]

brighter skies to the south of me all day but the rain is still falling...est 3.5"...

Nyc metro getting crushed again

I was wondering if that was still active, it never shows up on searches. I remember seeing historical reports and obs from there (before my time ).

[stockmanjr]

FFW now up until 7:15pm for Nassau, Kings, Queens.

[donsutherland1]

Through 4 pm, Central Park’s 2-day rainfall is 6.29”. That is the 4th highest 2-day figure on record for August.

 

[gravitylover]

Oh yeah -

~.8" so far, no wind and no drama. I like the no damage thing but it hasn't been much of a storm.

[crossbowftw3]

Finally at nearly 4 PM the first sustained steady rain has made it to my end of Sullivan County.

BX, I can vouch for this ( New City here ) and I will have to get some out of my pool soon as it has really filled up the past hour or so

if we can get another inch or 2 we will i think have 2 months in a row over 10 inches in the park i wonder if that has ever happened before.

[BxEngine]

Just like winter, its fun reading back through the thread of the people who are too cool to believe certain models and “there is no way we’ll see even remotely close To those totals”. 
 

still time for someone in the metro to get to double digits.
