August 2026

[straphanger]

Over 1.6" of rain so far between 1745 and 1845 here and still coming down like crazy.  The subway isn't handling it very well and there are suspensions due to flooding.

Coming down now here, only 0.26" so far

SPC really dropped the ball on this one. They had the strongest/bulk of the rain going to the south of the city.

Torrential downpours over the last 2 hours or so.  Based on radar the heaviest of the rain is through my area.  Just light to some moderate rain next 90 minutes or so.  Eyeballing the gauge it looks like about 2".  That would put me at 7.5" for the month of August so far.  Will get an exact measurement about 9:00 or so.  Came down is torrents at times. Thankfully the heaviest has passed through and totals around here did not go off the rails.

Up to 0.78” and pouring. Some thunder and little wind

I'm on the south shore right now near Copaigue and there's a lot of rotation. 

[jm1220]

Almost 2” here already. 

[JonClaw]

1.85" per Corona mesonet site

[psv88]

Seems like it’s a manageable event. 2” for most areas and nothing crazy 

[mob1]

Over 2" here and still coming down pretty good (though the backend is fast approaching).

Between 17:51 and 18:51 Central Park reported 1.82. The rain at 17:26 at my city point is still moderate to heavy, as always ….

Racing east-might be over by 9-10pm for most

[winterwx21]

1.65" here so far. Glad to get a nice soaking but not the flooding.

Best part

Did the strength of the first line which exploded NYC east and back built caused the second wave in central and north NJ be a nothing burger?

Its light to moderate rain at best and restatyed at 650 and ending in 10 minutes. moving fast which has been commented but seems like the energy got sucked out of it.

[nycsnow]

Winds pretty impressive in Staten Island last few hours 

[mob1]

Really impressive rain rates now from Freeport to Brookhaven.

My mother in law was at her friends in Atlantic Beach. She is saying they had a tornado before. I just got home. Wild ride. 

[FPizz]

1.33" total, down to 65.  Time for a jog

[Tatamy]

Just had a wind gust to 38 mph at my station at Cherry Grove at 7:40 with a strong cell.

Close to 2.5”. Should be a moderate soaking rain from here. Great for the gardens, unfortunately the bug population will explode in a few days and it’s bad enough.

That’s what I was saying before .  The NAM was way overdone.   Closing in on 2 inches here in Union county
