Hoisting the Sultan Signal: Heavy Rain Event July 5-7

[weatherwiz]

Noah almost cancelled his plans in Heaven to come down and build an arc when he saw all these crazy ensembles and high extreme forecasts index. Good thing he decided not too

6am tomorrow… long way to go.

I suspect that map is well overdone around here but I’d like to be wrong

I know you see this every event winter and summer.  The first pulse stays south of the MA/CT border and the 2nd one floods many who are shocked despite guidance clearly showing the trend for days.

Islip area has to be getting rocked with now based on radar.  Curious if that stuff makes its way up here later.

Been raining moderate to heavy for the last couple hrs…quite the soaker here…with quite a bit more to come if modeling has any clue. We take.

Nice band from HVN east along 95. That stuff over LI is slowing moving north towards BDR as well.

In all fairness, Lots of us south of Hartford in CT are gonna end up with 3-4” plus if this goes all night.  I realize there’s quite the cut off north of CT boarder…but South of that it’s adding up.

Radar seems to be filling in a bit and that I-84 weenie band has legs

Yeah but nothing near the widespread 4-6/5-7" that was floating around on some of the guidance. And the overall flooding risk seems relatively low...I don't think the moderate was necessarily needed by the WPC. This was a long drawn out steady rain (and kind of in chunks). Will be worse off to our south. Definitely a much needed rain for sure but overall this was below a much more concerning flooding risk

I think some folks are getting ahead of themselves, and thinking it’s over shortly. As Jerry said…just like with the winter storms.

yeah this goes all night and into the morning.     also note the band over LI beginning to move north...

I hope you’re right. We desperately need the rain here. I’m not convinced this is a widespread thing east of CT. A lot of model runs over the last few days have had a CT soaker and kind of tapered it off into southern RI.

I could see this ending up as a few pulses of downpours where we end up around an inch

Not great weather for the pool, but I was able to mow the lawn and the contractor is getting his work done in the attic today

Looks like cloae to .65 near my house.  Definitely north of the best action.
