More rain today 

I can't even remember the last time I had a snowfall storm total at 8 inches! Maybe back in 2008? At least it looks like nobody died in this in NYC, and the damage seems less than I thought it would be with these amounts. 

 

Henri may have basically crapped out, but these rainfall totals are historic-broke a record or two.  Always interesting when a record or two falls in an event. A one hour rainfall record being broken is nothing to sneeze at.

[nyrangers1022]

Guess I lied.  According to official measurement here in village is at 2.92.  I don't know how, never seemed to rain that hard lol

Good morning nycr ( great ID ). You didn’t lie, it was the truth as you perceived it. That’s how it ends up with many of us. At least until we get hammered by cold hard statistics. As always ….

Haven’t been following this one too closely and being at my parents house in Monmouth County we didn’t really get much.

 

That said I need to take the parkway or turnpike north to Westchester County NY today. Think I should be ok to depart here around 10am?

For now portions of the Hutch, and most of the Saw Mill pkwy is closed. Bronx River pkwy is closed past 233rd st to White Plains

It is right there lol. West Jefferson is a hellhole about 20 miles west of Columbus and a screw zone for any kind of interesting weather.  We did have a small tornado touch down and cause damage a few miles south of me a year or two ago-but nothing interesting weather-wise happens here. This has been the one of the most boring summers weather wise here so I have to get my fix in other areas following tropical storms, heat waves, etc. hence my being in this thread

 

*plus I love NYC- of all of the major cities I have visited people were the friendliest there to me-quite the opposite of the stereotype.  Also I am a skyscraper nerd so...

 

*8.05 storm total at Central Park as of 8am.

Good morning Anthony. I do and you are hopefully too young to, remember when an 8+ snowfall , despite the zoo keeper measurements, was a rare event in our area. As always …

Makes sense to me. I’m sandwiched between that 7.73” in Bridgewater and the multiple 6” in mt. Olive.

My basement took on a few inches of water overnight, which is par for the course in very long, heavy rains. Thankful it’s unfinished and made of fieldstone from 1850. 

[nyrangers1022]

Some blue skies and sun trying to peak through lol.  Probably will fire up storms

Yeah I think it’s mostly going to be sprinkles and those puffy high clouds today. The main low is pulling outta here. Also someone mentioned if we get the sun to destabilize the atmosphere we’ll get thunderstorms, I think that’s false, the atmosphere is drying out so chances of thunderstorm for today at least are dropping by the minute. Maybe a shower

It has to be north Brooklyn because there is barely any flooding in south Brooklyn.

3.04 here. If you look at the maps Wdrag posted, there were 2 reports, one  in upper amounts of 3 and the other report of over 4” right across the River from us. I’m thinking that orgographic lifting had an affect to the fluctuation.

[wdrag]

Am I correct??? CP now at 9.51 for the month with their 0.93” at 12z on the 6 hr ob????  We do have a chance of 10+ for August.  

[nycsnow]

Wonder if some storms fire up today 

[lee59]

Just picked up another .75 inch of rain as a thin slow moving line came thru.

I know that yesterday evening I was impressed with how quickly it was adding up as it didn't 'seem' that heavy.

Was on my way to ice time in newburgh about 8 last night.  Seemed like a decent shower, maybe that added up

No idea how much, but still raining. Wunderground precip map from Mt. Holly has me in “purple” colors. I would guess 6+ at this point. 

Yeah all surrounding stations are 5"+ here.  Enough to get water in the basement, thankfully not too bad. 

Definitely enough rain for awhile.

[crossbowftw3]

Surrounding OBS all have 3-3.5” here. Guess I got lucky? Didn’t come down heavily for 90% of the event except for the first round at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. 

[WE GOT HIM]

i got 7" here in Queens in 3 days and still going lol

I think this is a recognized thing with TCs but I have no idea why. Drop size? Drop shape? Fall speed? One day I'll try and learn something about the weather that doesn't have to do with snow. Not today tho.
