Congrats north and eastern areas

 

That southwestern edge of the heavy rain will have to move a bit SW on this map judging by the heavy batch about to spin into NYC and LI. 

[Brian5671]

Just mist and drizzle here so far.   61 degrees

About to rip on the island. This batch coming in from the south means business. Should drop a quick inch. Rates in these setups often exceed radar depiction.

Yeah I don't get all the whining, it's raining when it's supposed to be raining.  It wasn't supposed to rain that much over the weekend anyway.

To be fair, a bunch of models did not have this heavy batch rotating through the NYC area right now. 

It was shown more east.

I thought we'd have most of our rain tonight, so this is a bit of a bonus.

Models always struggle with these cutoffs and the placement of the rains at a given hour

It was more about things being needlessly canceled because people use weather apps. We all saw that coming.

Its super dark here right now!!!

Rainfall totals so far over the last 3 days - click to enlarge.

Received just .09" here yesterday for a 3 day event total so far of .60".

As I mentioned yesterday the best totals so far have been over far NW NJ and radar yesterday was certainly confirming that yesterday afternoon.

Radar echoes now rotating in from the southeast as opposed to last 3 days where things were moving NNE.

Best / heaviest totals next 24 hours look to be from NE NJ on east and north.  Lighter amounts elsewhere.

Do these weather apps have radar on them though? They really should not be canceling anything unless something is about to hit the area within the hour.

It's been raining pretty hard here for the last 30 minutes or so.

I can understand things being canceled Sunday, the Yankees game was played after a rain delay and it rained for much of the game, but Saturday was a mostly sunny day here and nothing should have been canceled that day.

The forecast was for an 80% chance of rain back on Thursday so alot of places had no choice but to cancel. Outdoor events that require planning for example

That’s exactly what I was getting at. They cancled the TOH car show at point lookout Saturday. People drove in from all over, and they were pissed.

Getting some pretty steady moderate rain now.

yeah-something like that you need a lead time to reschedule vendors etc.   It's never an easy call that's for sure.   The models had bailed on the rains but it took another day for forecasts to catch up.  Other things like a little league game you can wait til day of...

Finally some heavier rain here in this batch. 

[psv88]

0.72 today in Suffolk. In manhattan now getting drenched 

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

Rains not dissapointing in SW Nassua. Basically training consistent moderate with a few heavy bursts. Easily over an inch.

[Brian5671]

Crushed here-but it's moved NW of us now so rates have lightened up.

[FPizz]

Still haven't gotten anything here, but some trying to move in.  

[Sundog]

All this time it was fat drops and pouring, now it has turned into much finer droplets and still pretty moderate. 

[jm1220]

Probably 0.6” total here now.

[winterwx21]

Getting some moderate rain here now. Decent downpour moving in. 

[FPizz]

Just .02" here so far.  Maybe when this is done I'll get up to .10" lol

[Sundog]

JUST east of Manhattan today had good rains. That late morning batch really upped our totals

[Irishmick9]

Here in Eastern Sussex Co, we are the only bob left of severe drought in Tri-State area beside small blob in southern NJ.  Total here since last Thur is .73. Very frustrating as we have missed heavier rains by 5-10 miles all year. Our wells need some drink before summer. You like boring weather, this is your place.
