HRRR fires storms around here through this evening no goodski for your area. We got 2” in like 30 min here but it already settled looks like double and still pouring south of here. 

[Brian5671]

Estimating 5-6 here-still raining but lighter

[dendrite]

12z herpes kinda nailed the rain down there. Maybe a little under on the amounts, but it is the only thing I've seen with the right idea.

Seems kinda similar to the flooding the area got from the remnants of Ida back in I think it was 2021?

[OrangeCTWX]

Also I think the storm off the coast may be taking some of the heaviest stuff with it. Still raining quite heavy though lol 

[weatherwiz]

watch be coming soon for western CT

At least they drive on the right...that helps when you are not focusing on the road!

That's so awesome.  The Scandinavian countries are the only European countries I have any interest in going to and Norway is at the top of my bucket list. Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures. I have incredible respect for  Norway for saving cod and other ground fish stocks. I spent more than four decades hook and line codfishing and through the eyes of Norway I can at least get a look at a what a well managed fishery can look like and for serious fishers it's mind blowing.

Weird I didn’t get as much rain as the operational product viewer and radar storm totals suggest.  Still about 2-3” in an hour across the area, luckily just below flash flooding for most.  A different story down near the Merritt by the looks of it on social media , 3-5” in about 90 min. 

[Brian5671]

NAMS completely missed this event here....terrible for 3 hr forecast

Oxford with a 1/200yr rain in 2024 and 2026 lol..luckily southbury missed the worst by 5-10 miles this time.

ramping up the TORs in NY

[weatherwiz]

one reported on the ground northeast of Scranton 

[OrangeCTWX]

That’s quite the storm south of Milford in the LI sound.  Possibly some rotation too? Or maybe I’m just seeing things.

No you're not... definite mid-level rotation 

[weatherwiz]

Might have to consider a TOR watch at this point. Everything blossoming is rotating 

[Brian5671]

Still ripping here on and off.

You think we all get hit again later?

Its worth watching. Much different versus Saturday. Per mesoanalysis any CIN from the rain moving through has essentially eroded and instability is building quickly. Just have to probably push the warm front a little more east but western areas definitely need to watch this given how radar is unfolding. Pushing 1500 J MLCAPE into SW CT with 200 m2s2 of effective SRH.

Just can’t catch a break HFD BDL north and east this summer .  Living the extreme vicariously yet again

Even Saturday we were crushed here with heavy rain in the evening-so if this setup is better I'm all in.

i am trying to stay safe under brightening skies with 0.2" on the day

[WinterWolf]

Got very good rains here with this first batch…no flooding though.  Best of both worlds…good rains, but no flooding. 

[nutmegfriar]

Yanks game for tonight has been postponed.  Much of shoreline CT continues to get spanked, with more to come.

[BrianW]

What a flooder here. Basement got overtaken. 3 sump pumps cant keep up.

It’s absurd. It really is. I mean I could probably pass on the tors but everything else would be welcome
