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. 

Yep we lucked out in our area too..run of mill stuff and anything that comes overnight will be light. 

 

Not sure why you wanted a deluge..a fine line from 0 to 3 inches

North Shore will probably get skunked. The boundary the storms are following was pushed south by the Douglaston and Smithtown storms so now they are favoring the south shore. Some thunder here and light rain, maybe it picks up to moderate for a while.

It’s literally pouring at the end of my block, maybe 1/10 of a mile away. Not a drop here 

[Picard]

0.00"  Nothing is getting here and it won't at this point.
Stiff breeze and running 68-69 degrees with mostly cloudy skies.  Feels quite raw actually and a great day for backyard football.

Sucks for the flood prone areas again.  I'd happy take an inch off your hands.  As it stands, I'll be out watering like crazy tonight since I held off last night given the prediction.

Transit alert for you: Port Wash branch suspended and Clearview and CI both shut down and LIE at Springfield Blvd. I don’t have the pix, but the water is completely above the 3rd rail at Bayside station.

Yep, 3:26 they suspended the Pt Washington line for high water E of Flushing Main St.  Got the text alert from the MTA at that time.

I never said I wanted a deluge. I would have liked a couple heavy downpours to deliver a half inch to 1 inch to give everything out there a very good watering, instead of just a quarter inch. It's very dry here because we've gotten almost no rain since that flooding 2 and half weeks ago. But a quarter inch is a better than nothing ... I'll take it. 

Temp is all the way down to 72 too. I'll be going outside to run shortly and it will be nice to run in rain cooled air.

I may be just sitting in the room where that email and txt alert came from    I’ve seen the camera at Bayside, it’s not pretty. Totally over the 3rd rail.

Heaviest rainfall in quick scan of weather underground data.

 

Am sure more will come in soon... click of clarity.  Ignore the 11.8. Not qc'd so amounts might be too high?\

 

[JonClaw]

Not great (Clearview Expy)

[WestBabylonWeather]

Well that sucks. Rain gauge decided to stop working. Thanks ambient.

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

 

 

How many floods is it going to take before everyone is driving water proof submersible amphibious vehicles?

We need a government mandate....

It actually feels decent out. And tomorrow should be mostly dry and comfortable

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. 

we've definitely been getting slammed for awhile now JM!!

80 degree dewpoints will drop a lot of water once it gets lifted up.

Parents are in Wayne. Just sent a pic of what looks like a beautiful sunny afternoon. Meanwhile it took me 80 minutes to get from Parsippany to Clifton. Wonky.
