HRRR and NAM3km going nuts tonight, saying some spots could get 4 to 5 inches. Good to see the models beefing it up tonight. Hopefully this won't disappoint.

If you're not in the stratiform rain zone which our subforum won't, we're relying on convection to produce any rain we get. If that misses or fails to materialize we get skunked. 

[NEG NAO]

Flood Watch 1-3 inches expected

FFA from KOKX

HRR has been all over the place with the precip/storm placements  in the metro- same with the NAM - definite NOWCASTING event

We have seen that time and time again in the past. No flood watch for the island.

73 / 66 clouds.  Brunt of the rain into NY State / north so far.  Showers/ storms later still should yield >0.5 - 1.00 and more northern areas or where heavier stoems focus locally.  Clouds linger into Tuesday as trough is in the northeast.  Wed - / Thu look very nice warm / sunny and dry.  We may be pulling up to a split weekend with Rain / storms Fri evening into Saturday / dry sunday.   Moderation warmer / heat to close the month and open next.  Overall warmer 6.28 and beyond.

Historical:

 

1886: At Lynchburg, a "terrific rain" led to street flooding, setting a new record for the wettest June at the site (5.44 inches Record at this time). In Washington, DC, (4.16 inches Record at this time) of rain fell on the 22nd alone, setting a 24-hour rainfall record for June. (Ref. for Heavy Rainfall)

1906: A destructive hailstorm struck the town of Chelsea, VT, covering an area 1 by 10 miles. There were drifts up to two feet deep, and most crops were destroyed. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1919: 59 people were killed as an F5 tornado ripped through the town of Fergus Falls, MN. 400 buildings were destroyed. A blank check was found over 60 miles away and lumber was carried 10 miles. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1928: A farmer near Greensburg, KS looked up into the heart of a tornado. He described its walls as "rotating clouds lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy odor with a screaming, hissing sound."

 

1944: A violent tornado, which touched down in southwest Wisconsin, crossed the border into Illinois, northeast of Freeport. Both states had at least $1 million damage each. In Illinois, 66 farms lost barns, and 21 homes were destroyed. Two people were killed in Illinois, with seven more in Wisconsin.  (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1947 - Twelve inches of rain fell in forty-two minutes at Holt, MO, establishing a world rainfall record. That record was tied on January 24-25, 1956, at the Kilauea Sugar Plantation in Hawaii, as their state record was established with 38 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)

1972 - Hurricane Agnes deluged Pennsylvania and New York State with torrential rains resulting in the most costly flood in U.S. history. In the Middle Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania, 24 hour rainfall amounts were generally 8 to 12 inches, with up to 19 inches in extreme southwestern Schuylkill County. At Wilkes-Barre, PA, the dike was breached destroying much of the town. Flooding resulted in 117 deaths and 3.1 billion dollars damage. (David Ludlum)

1981 - A young woman from Lubbock, TX, was struck by lightning. The bolt of lightning struck just above her right shoulder near her neck, and passed right to left through her body, tearing her warm-ups, causing her tennis shoes to explode, and lifting her two feet into the air. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms in southern Texas produced wind gusts to 116 mph near Quemado. Thunderstorms in New York State produced 5.01 inches of rain in 24 hours at Buffalo, an all-time record for that location, and produced an inch of rain at Bath, PA. The temperature at Fairbanks AK soared to 92 degrees, establishing a record for the date. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Sixty-five cities in twenty-four states reported record high temperatures for the date. Tucson AZ reported an all-time record high of 114 degrees, surpassing the previous record of 112 degrees established a day earlier. Highs of 98 degrees at Pittsburgh, PA, and 100 degrees at Baltimore, MD, tied records for the month of June. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Record cold temperatures were reported in the High Plains Region. Rapid City, SD, reported a record low of 39 degrees, in sharp contrast to their record high of 102 degrees two days earlier, on the 20th. (The National Weather Summary)

1992: Record cold prevailed in the eastern U.S. with many low temperature records for the date tied or broken. Indianapolis, IN dipped to 37° to set a new all-time record low temperature for June and the coldest summer temperature ever. At Muskegon, MI the temperature plummeted to 32°. It was the latest freezing temperature on record there. In sharp contrast, it was a furnace in the Pacific Northwest with Eugene and Medford, Oregon setting new all-time record high temperatures for June with 102° and 111° degrees, respectively. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1993: Measurable rain would fall every day from the date until July 25th somewhere in Iowa. The highly unusual weather pattern that produced this nearly continuous rainfall would result in the greatest flood in U.S. history as 15% of the contiguous United States was affected. It would be one of the United States most costly natural disasters ever along with Hurricane Andrew of 1992. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
 

 

2003: A hailstone measuring 7.0 inches in diameter with a circumference of 18.75 inches and weighing 1.33 pounds falls in Aurora, Nebraska. The National Weather Service reports this is the second largest hailstone ever documented in the U.S. by weight, and the largest by size at that time. The world's largest hailstone NOW was produced from storms in South Dakota; 8" in diameter and 1.9375 lbs. on July 23, 2010.

 

2009: Florida: Temperature records tumble with Vero Beach leading the record heat parade with a record high of 102°F and a heat index of 111°F. Elsewhere in the state, Tallahassee hits 103°F; Daytona and West Palm Beach, 96°F and Miami 98.°F.
(Ref. WxDoctor)

2016: June 22-24. Part of a severe weather outbreak that produced over two dozen tornadoes from Illinois to West Virginia, up to 10 inches of rain fell in just 12-24 hours on June 23, setting off West Virginia's third deadliest flood. Twenty-three people lost their lives.

Best of luck thunderstorms, we're all counting on you.

I'm not really sure where the convection will come from to produce these thunderstorms.  With overcast skies, it maybe reaches the low-mid 70s at best, so there will be little heating up of the surface.

[qg_omega]

Most of the area will see little to no rain

[Dan76]

At least the sun is not baking the grass today.

[Stormlover74]

Hopefully the nam has a clue. Wasn't it supposed to be retired by now?

most of it is dormant - the thing that gets me is these lawn cutting services still come around regardless using their high powered ride around mowers with a cloud of dust folllowing them and destroying your lawn in the process - I just use a weed wacker carefully for any weeds and higher grass. Also you are not supposed to fertilize your lawn when it is dormant

Of course they still come around. They need their weekly pay day

My guy stops cutting which is nice.  I feel bad for the loss of income though

most of the storms are overnight so it's not a heating type setup.

Hmmm.  But the heating usually helps build the storms.  I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's less likely.
I just picked up 0.02" with the showers that clipped north jersey.  I don't think that will be it but this is contingent on some factors coming together, and they don't always.

I'm watching the area now over W. Virginia and eastern Kentucky to see how that does and if it builds more as it moves east northeast.  Also the area way back in Tennessee and Arkansas would give some potential if it holds and /or redevelops.

NAM and its replacement

[winterwx21]

I see the models now longer the rain pretty much all day tomorrow, which is a change. So we should get a decent amount no matter what happens with today's convection, but hopefully we'll see a heavy downpour this afternoon.

This will yet again be a <0.10" event, maybe even nothing here.
