donsutherland1 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Westchester County Airport picked up 1.08" of rain in the past hour. One hour of heavy rainfall is missing from the Airport's reporting. Nevertheless, based on radar estimates, flash flood reports, and precip.AI, the daily record of 2.20" from 1973 has been broken. The precip.ai estimate is 3.70" has fallen there so far. Further, based on the precip.ai estimate through 1 pm, the missing hour saw 2.53" of rainfall at Westchester County Airport. That would eclipse the July monthly hourly record (2.15", July 18, 2005) and the all-time hourly mark (2.16", September 1, 2021). Data continuity matters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathermedic Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Mesoscale Discussion 1690 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1223 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2026 Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 211723Z - 211930Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Increasing storm coverage is expected through the afternoon and will necessitate a watch. DISCUSSION...Recent composite radar indicates increasing shower and thunderstorm coverage across eastern Pennsylvania on the leading edge of mid 70s dewpoints as they advect northward. Most of this activity is moving away from the greater moisture/instability, but continued northward destabilization is anticipated. In addition, broken cloud cover across southeast Pennsylvania and New Jersey will result in greater instability within this zone. The leading edge of a 50 knot mid-level jet (centered around 5-6km) has been sampled by the CCX VWP within the last half an hour. As this overspreads the warm sector, shear will be in place for storm organization, including supercells. Damaging winds will be the primary threat, but some large hail and a few tornadoes will also be possible. The greatest threat will be across southeast Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where the greater instability is in place. However, as the warm front lifts northeastward, the threat could extend into southeast New York and Connecticut this afternoon. ..Bentley/Mosier.. 07/21/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Thankfully they are moving quickly along so any intense rainfall rates should not last that long with these isolated pop ups. Torrential downpours still likely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Just now, NEG NAO said: could have also been coming in through under a door or they just had the sump pump without the drains along the walls I have a friend in the Plainfield area and in one of the recent flooding events there it came pouring in the ground level basement window wells. Could be any number of reasons with those excessive rates. Pumps or drains with those rates are not a lock that you are safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
