Today's record rainfall at NYC is only 1.50" (1871). 1926 had 1.38". Tomorrow's record is 3.13" from 1995 two days after a two-day hot spell (96 14th, 102 15th).  To show how variable regional rainfall can be, I noticed that LGA had 3.53" on July 15th 1997 for a daily record but NYC had only 0.17" on that date (max 97, min 77 also). But NYC did record a daily record 3.75" on July 23, 1997.

One of those July 97 days had one of the best lines of storms I've ever experienced. 70 mph wind gusts over a large area

In Long Beach now, essentially there’s just been just a couple showers here. Maybe something can happen with the rain to the south but we’ll see. 

Did well here this am, but nothing since. Think the stuff to the south is sliding too far east to have much of an impact. Unless you’re out east

I agree. I think the worst is mostly over with some drier air beginning to punch east into western NJ . Could see one or two rogue lines of showers/storms if there's any heating between 5-7PM. Other than that, for most of us, it's onto Tuesday. Should be near 90 tomorrow. Tues and Friday the stormy days this week.

WX/PT

southern nj, out over eastern LI and SE New england won today.

East end will be the big winner. The stuff to the south seems like it has eyes on it. Gonna be some big totals out there. Rest of us, things appear to be winding down

I’m 2 miles east of RM Causeway. Might get lucky before it hits the eastern end. Only Mother Nature knows

Same as here. Few showers. Will be watering the garden all week again. 3 miles away it was a monsoon 

Crazy. I’m basically due south of you and we did ok. Everything slid SW to NE as it intensified. If you missed it, you were done. 
 

East Hampton is going to put down 12” IMO. Getting absolutely smoked

Complete list of 3" daily rainfalls in July at NYC, and also 3.00" two-day totals. 

(the 3.0" list does not include any slightly lower values that might occur using a day on the other side of a heavy rainfall) Notice that many of the entries are towards the end of July.

Note the 3.0" daily list continues with a few near-3.0" values to balance the entries.

 

RANK ____ Amount __ Date ______________ 2d amount __ Dates

_ 01 ______ 3.75" _____ 23, 1997 ___________ 4.62" _____ 23-24 1997 (3.75" + 0.87")

_ 02 ______ 3.56" _____30, 1960*___________ 4.37" _____ 26-27 2000 (3.24" + 1.13")

_ 03 ______ 3.47" _____29, 1980* __________t3 4.33" ____ 8-9 2021^ 

_ 04 ______ 3.24" _____26, 2000 __________ t3 4.33" ____ 5-6 1901 (3.07" + 1.26")

_ 05 ______ 3.16" ______13, 1972*__________ 3.64" _______ 29-30 1971 (0.64" +3.00") _ 5.87" 4d total July 29 - Aug 1

_t06 ______ 3.13" ______ 7, 1984 ___________ 6 3.56" _____ 30 1960 (29, 31 dry) 

_t06 ______ 3.13" _____ 17, 1995 ___________ 7 3.36" _____ 17-18 1995 (3.13" + 0.23") 

_ 08 ______ 3.11" ______28, 1913 ___________ 3.30" _______ 10-11 2020 (2.54" + 0.76")

_ 09 ______ 3.07" ______ 5, 1901 ___________ 3.19" ________ 3-4 1967 (2.08" + 1.11") 

_ 10 ______ 3.06" _____ 28, 1902*__________ t10 3.14" _____ 6-7 1984 (0.01" + 3.13")

_ 11 ______ 3.00" _____ 30, 1971 ___________ t10  3.14" ____ 28-29 1913 (3.11" + 0.03") 

_t12 ______ 2.91" ______ 17, 1877**_________12 3.12" _______13-14 1897 (2.29" + 0.83")

_t12 ______ 2.91" _____ 29, 1872*__________ 13 3.09" ______ 11-12 1937 (0.41" + 2.68")

_ 14 ______ 2.80" ______ 3, 1930* _________ 3.06" _________ 28 1902 (27, 29 dry) 

_ 15 ______ 2.65" _____ 27, 1889** ________ 3.00" _________ 30-31 1918 (2.00" + 1.00")

______________ also including dates in July and August 3.99" 31st-1st 1889 (2.29" + 1.70"), and 3.71" June 30 - July 1 1984 (3.07" + 0.64")

_________________ would rank 6 and 7 if included, and expand total list to 17 entries plus next 3 below for top 20. 

______________ missing out by 0.01" was 22-23 1946 (2.99" from 0.87" + 2.12") and 20-21 1988 (2.99" from 1.28" + 1.71") also 2.91" 3-4 1978 (1.72"+1.19")

________________________________________

* No measurable rainfall on days before and after these entries, meaning they have the same representation in 3.0" list, or no representation if below 3.0" like 29th, 1872;  

** Others have measurable amounts on one or both sides of a heavy amount, only the larger of the two totals is shown for 2d amounts (would have included any nearly equal but there were none). 17th 1877 added only 0.01" so does not make the second list. 

^ Total from 2.27" and 2.06" both daily records. (8-9 July 2021)

From today? I don’t have a gauge, but I’m thinking we were north of 2” in brightwaters. You definitely did better the other day where I got skunked while a storm blew up right over WB
