Picard Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 4 minutes ago, Santa Claus said: small line is cranking I am forced to eat my previous post. It is ripping up here, 60 lightening strikes in the past few minutes according to accuweather. Torrential rain, and wind too. Really blew up again for some. My rain gauge is out of commission, but underground stations around me are showing over 1/2 inch and counting. It looks like upwards of 1.5" out towards Sandyston where they also got the first batch earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm to the north really blew up and developed a nice southern component. The lightening has been non-stop and we're past 0.6" of rain according to two nearby gauges on weather underground. Lots of rolling thunder now. Our dog is having a rough go of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 0.35" from that storm. Not bad. Obviously doesn't put a dent in the drought, but enough to give the vegetable garden a much-needed watering. For a change I won't have to water tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly and I mean this for city residents only. Central Park, at least, in the warm season is not a typical indicator of what our five Borough folks are experiencing, temperature wise. Newark and our airports set records and yet our official high temperature is 91. The dryness concerns me as I believe we are near six inches below yearly average rainfall to date for the city. Stay well, as always …. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
