I dunno, while it has been wetter than the past few months it won't even make a dent. I'm under .5 in the last week and down over 12" this year. It only looks green here, dig down 6" and it's dusty dry. 

Doesn't take much to fill up the reservoirs.  Sometimes one good event.  Supposedly the real key are winter snows (Summer snows not as much).

Good to see those 3.00” totals near the South Shore since Sunday. But Central NJ gets another jackpot. Some spots recorded 10.00”+.

It was a significant short lived dry spell here, and perhaps one of the most significant for how little rain fell here, and the data backs this up. Reservoirs never got down too low because those areas saw more rain. I don't mind a dry period to even things out. I don't worry too much about a lawn, but many trees here were stressed from the drought. When the trees become stressed, it's clear indication of an intense dry spell.

I was watering the new trees I planted so I know what you mean, but the drought was pretty localized to our area.  I'd like to see how this compares to some of the big droughts we had in the 80s and 90s when there were widespread water shortages.  The one in 99 I referenced earlier was historic, in that there was half an inch or less of rain for multiple months.  It seems like a big tropical system or noreaster is what breaks the pattern; in 1999 it was Floyd right around my birthday./

Yes there's been a sharp cutoff up by you guys.

Meanwhile the heavy rain has made it all the way back to NEPA.

The big question is how long this cooler October +PNA pattern can last? We haven’t had a colder October since the modoki El Niño in 2009. So it will be interesting to see if the North Pacific warm pool can continue the more Nino-like pattern or the milder La Niña eventually returns.

Wasn't the tropical season also more reminiscent of an El Nino pattern?

Will they post a final map tomorrow night when the rain ends? I'd really like to see both the final rainfall totals and the highest wind gusts recorded.

34 more hours to go.  About 86 inches of rain here, 4.17 total (so far) since Friday night.  Clouds holding tough, plane ticket to Palm Springs in hand.  Sun pokes through in time for sunset Wed, not so sure anymore.  Mets triple header Thursday? 

 Sunnier , drier and warmer Thu (10/6) and Fri (10/7) before front (looks dry) comes through for the weekend.  Inland / burbs 30s Sat night / Sun night. 

Moderate by Tue (10/11) or Wed (10/12) and remaining overall dry through then. 

We'll see if the PNW Ridge pushes east for the second half of the month for a warmer note.  

I think they'll get the Mets games in today. Radar looks much better now. The steady rain is moving away and it looks as if it will just be occasional showers the rest of today.

I had to do a doubletake.... 86 inches of rain is a lot.

Some locations in the NYC Metro Region are getting some really soaking rains from the remnants/leftovers of Ian. But if my take is correct, we are still in a drier than normal overall weather pattern while above normal temperature pattern has shifted into a below normal temperature pattern. I don't think this current event necessarily means that the drought is over. Even if a few spots ended up with 3.00" of rain from this, if the next 8 weeks are very dry, we're very close to being back in the drought. We are lucky that we ended up in the right spot with Ian and the same luck is unlikely to happen again though not impossible. Most of the computer guidance having systems accelerating w-nw to e-se across the northern tier of the country with cold fronts one after another dropping down from Canada does not give me confidence in more sizable rain events after this one. We'll see if the tropics have more to say.

But Ian turned into Noreaster is exactly the type of storm you'd expect to get in October, so I would say it was more than just luck.

Yeah I agree, an El Nino pattern with an active southern jet this is not. 

I'd be willing to bet the default Nina state will also try to come back.

1.38” current storm total. Winds have relaxed a bit so it feels mildly less terrible than it has felt for the last 4 days, sky brightening up at times but never fully clearing out.

Currently 56 (and slowly rising) which is the high for the day.
