The rain is relentless, consistently heavy for the last 2-3 hours. These tropical systems usually overperform.

A little more windy than I anticipated..

1.80 in the bucket and still going, was hoping the split models showing less were right but had a feeling this would exceed 1-2 inches

2.28 on the Passaic/Clifton border. What a waste of a fall day. Half an inch my a**.

Perfect rainy day to have an excuse to do nothing but watch football. 

For the 5th Sunday in a row.

Wild day. Spent it inside at Roosevelt field 

on the way back to Babylon the rain was terrible everyone was doing 40 on the highway 

trying for the city tomorrow. Looks like it should be decent.

Just under 2 inches here.  Damp and chilly day.

Week ahead looks pretty good, just have to see if there's a blip on Friday.

[Stormlover74]

Thundering now

[SI Mailman]

Wow. It's amazing how month after month we ge these massive +10F areas encompassing huge swaths of the conus. And little to no cool anomalies at all! In the past if the west torched then the east was cool and vice versa, but for the past 7 months its just been conus wide torch.

Even when we had our colder months from November to February, they were getting record +10 months in the West.

So the geographic footprint of the cold was very small in the East. The shrinking size of the winter cold pools since the 2015-2016 super El Niño is part of the reason that 2025-2026 was our first colder longer term temperature winter since 2014-2015.

Prior to the 2015-2016 winter, we would usually get a cold winter every few years. This was the first 11 year hiatus between cold winters. The chart below is for the entire Northeast which has been in the same boat as our local area.
