That was my first winter with a drivers license. I used to borrow dads car after dropping him at the train station. At least once a week I'd leave from there to go skiing rather than to school. I'd drive up to Hunter and ski all day then get back in time to pick him up. I almost missed a few times :o It was a good winter on LI but only in relation to the times, it was an average (which meant pretty good) winter in the Catskills. 

Sorry all for the thread drift...

lol I used to walk to school 2 miles and back 2 miles I hated all the icy roads.  We had back to back 4-5 inch  snow storms both at night and I never saw a flake of either because I was sleeping and lots of cold which is what the 80s were known for (in January anyway)

  • wdrag changed the title to IDA remnants-Moderate to isolated Major Impact (esp NJ-LI), general storm total 2-8" rainfall Wednesday-Thursday September 1-2 2021

Looks like there's consensus forming which unfortunately looks like the heaviest rain across the metro area/NJ/LI. RGEM shifted north at 6z when it's been south for a while. 5" for the south shore and 4" elsewhere around NYC/LI. 7" rain in Monmouth/Ocean Counties. Hudson Valley/N NJ mostly 1-3".

Little to add: My own expected tomorrow morning rainfall of 1/2-iso 3.5" of rainfall between 4A-Noon in I78-I80 NJ-NYC metro cannot be a PRE since just below criteria in distance, timing, and amount but this will be precursor event (plenty of banding support).  The 03z/31 SREF ensemble qpf for LGA is appended...total ~4" there.   The action between PIT and MRB at 750A (now), is a start and only with modest lift. That lift intensifies early Wed in our area. 

Continuing thread as initiated last week with minor title change confirmations. For now staying with max 8". Power outages a wild card dependent on wind gusts exceeding 40 knots... for now I expect some power outages but this is not an easy parameter to predict due to uncertainty on wind gusts but this risk exists.

TOR: My guess from modeling is that central NJ may see a TOR early THU morning per modeled SIG TOR PARM nearing a value of 1 on the our southern edge. Needs further review in future times.

River flooding will be significant with potential for a couple MAJOR in NJ/PA dependent on River BASIN ensemble qpf equaled or exceeded.  

Worst of remnant IDA should occur 4A-Noon Thursday.  Leave plenty of extra time time, if driving. Expect detours, cars stuck in water in your typical flood prone areas, and then coming home Thu eve, the river rises will have started their bigger impact.   Thursday is probably a good day to be more careful weatherwise.

Just like before big convective snowstorms the axis of heaviest totals will shift a little each run. Last night it was North, this morning it's a little bit South. Consensus puts the heaviest totals between the LHV region and Northern NJ spreading eastward into SNE and Long Island. 

The real killer here is that some areas could see in excess of 6" in under 12 hours and this could occur over a widespread area. Several river systems in NNJ are in trouble.

The water table for most areas must be high enough that basements will flood with those kind of totals even away from rivers. Not good.

Definitely expecting basement flooding.  I haven't had to add water to the pool all summer, maybe just once.  That never happens.
