it's not moving at all?

Maybe if you turned on a fan you could force it to move lol

I'm just glad I caught a bit of a break because every time it rains it's biblical. 

Just had another massive burst of rain. Now it's practically stopped. But I see it will be back very soon on radar. 

[jm1220]

Finally a couple showers firing close to me. Up to 2 or 3 drops so far. 

[jm1220]

Saw a 4.13” pixel right near Douglaston. Too bad it refuses to move and it’s probably helping to stabilize the setup here and elsewhere since now it’s just cloudy and windy here from the outflow boundaries all over the place.

Lots of thunder and lightning now. Light rain still.

It's just a non stop deluge currently.  Have water leaking in one of our office suites too from the window.

Hearing distant thunder to my south and west. I’m in Hawthorne NY 

[Neblizzard]

Eastern Union County ( Elizabethport).  Incredible lightning and heavy rain.

It’s like hitting a wall over NYC. Can’t fathom how this is happening yet again

I've got 14-20mph NE winds here-dry air preventing much north movement of the rains

[Sundog]

Looks like the JFK radar finally decided to start working.

the old 7-10 split here-NAM seems to have been right with a screw zone in b/w the stuff to the north and south

It’s here raining but the heavy stuff is north and south, and the south stuff is hitting a wall it appears and won’t get up here even on an ene heading.

[steve392]

Light rain still.  The heaviest was lining up to destroy my area and has just fizzled out to showers as it's approached for the last 2 hours.

Dangerous flash flooding being reported with that back building cell near Bayside.

I live right near there!

I was right on the edge just NW of the cell's path and still managed almost 3 inches of rain.

Nice thunderstorm here now

.31" and light rain for another 20 mins probably...whole lot of nothing here again

[nycwinter]

hearing thunder now

[MANDA]

Getting skunked up here in my area.  Had one very brief heavy downpour as a storm slid by just to my south.  Otherwise sun pops in and out.

Main show is route 78 south into CNJ.  SNJ getting hit pretty hard as well.

Hi neighbor rain has slowly started to pick up here. I still bet we somehow manage to pick up 2-3 inches out of this you can see the western area with some strong reflectivity that should push into our area. Obviously not like further south but we should get our fair share! 

[JonClaw]

Big crash of thunder in Elmhurst!

[doncat]

Si West shore station 0.52" , here in castleton corners deluge with 1.75".

Your area might get slammed. The seabreeze/outflow boundary sagged south after the Smithtown/Hauppauge storms and the storm over Nassau County now looks to be following that boundary.

I got only 0.10" from the t-storm that brushed my area earlier. Now we're starting to add to that a little bit with some steady light to moderate rain and I'm up to 0.15" for the day so far. To me it appears I'm not going to get too much rain today. Maybe we end up with a quarter inch, just barely enough to water the garden. I was hoping for more significant rain today. 

[Snowlover11]

not even a drop, what a joke.

[winterwarlock]

Just run of mill thundershower imby about .25 and sun poking out now
