979MB low or lower passing just to the s of Nantucket now.  Outages continue coming up in RI/MA and soon I think we'll see some increases e CT and LI.

Some very impressive gusts on the cape sustained at 60 gusting to 75.

also 33 foot wave heights just NE of Boston, there is going to be damage from this in coastal eastern NE. 
 

wind field seems tight, almost tropical like. And I think a big reason this has underperformed in our area

Here are 48 hour precipitation totals.  Widespread 4"+ totals across SE NY.  Heaviest amounts in NYC were in lower Manhattan and the Bronx with 4.75-5.5".

Looks like the multisensor precip. estimate (which combines radar with sfc. obs) is underestimating precip. by ~15-20% based on mesonet obs.

Numerous Weather Underground stations confirm what is shown on the multisensor precip. estimate - highest amounts were in the ne three-quarters of Suffolk County with widespread 5"+, locally 7-8.5" in the area around Stony Brook, Setauket, Centereach and St. James.   A small area of SW CT near Westport and Fairfield also saw 6-7" totals, but these were quite localized and mainly near immediate shore.  Very impressive mesoscale banding out there!    Will be interested to see CoCoRAHS totals later.  

Thank G-d these rains fell on dry soil and rainfall rates were generally 1" per hour or less in the areas where heaviest totals fell... thus avoiding significant flooding in LI, S. CT and NYC.  N/C. NJ and scattered areas in the lower Hudson Valley were a different story.

Wantage NJ final 4.73".  We'll see how much higher this is against nearby stations and whether indeed there is a high bias in heavy rain.  Right now, I think my report is going to be pretty close to the reality. 

Monitor the river flooding...  a bit interesting.

An update on the very impressive winds in SE New England.  These wind reports are comparable to some seen on the Cape in the Dec 24-25, 1995 nor'easter, with the 80+ mph reports also more widespread than the Oct 29-30, 2017 "Bomb Cyclone" (the storm that may have made that term viral haha).
