Still no power. Rainfall total as of 7:00 a.m. a beneficial and manageable 1.36". Thankfully the excessive totals did not pan out over a large area. Isolated excessive amounts only. @IrishRob17seems to have jack potted. Threat of Flash Flooding much reduced for rest of today but still some locally heavier showers around. Temperatures down but humidity is sky high. Very soupy out there this morning.

Pretty strongly worded. Some places could be in trouble along that stalled boundary.

Same here, power still out. Latest update is 11:00 tomorrow night for my area. Generator is saving the day but honestly I'm getting tired of hearing the noise. First world problem I know. Can't wait for the next time a Cat. 1 takes the right track. How the hell are they ever going to handle that? I know they are working hard and I'm not near as bad off as some but it seems to be taking so long. Friend in western Hunterdon County is Wednesday night and friend in Berkeley Heights is 9:00 Thursday night. I've got nothing to complain about so forgive me. I'm just cranky. I hope anyone that depends on a sump pump during heavy rain and is without power gets it back in time.

Seems overdone but going to be some local 5” totals in spots I think. How bad any flooding might be will depend on rainfall rates / training.

First storm of the evening just slid by to my north. Gusty downdraft and some sprinkles. Few rumbles of thunder as well. Mid Hudson Valley getting rocked at this hour.
-
WPC going with the wetter guidance. Local 5" amounts verbatim over the next 7 days with most of that from later Sunday into Monday. Local flash flooding possible despite the ongoing dryness.

You as well! Not fun especially over a holiday weekend.

Power still out here. Finally received an update with expected restoration time of 7am tomorrow and crew has been dispatched. Anything severe later could delay restoration. Thankfully generator is humming away. Took 6 years but it finally paid for itself! Got it installed after Isaias in 2020. It was a 'WWI" purchase...wife wanted it. No way I was going to get away with putting it off any longer. Not after Sandy, Irene and numerous other snow / ice related outages over the years. She was having no part of it anymore. Cell service has been spotty at best. Internet was down but just came back. Have not been out but talked with people who have been and lots of trees and wires down. Picked up .71" rainfall in about 12 minutes with the storm last night. Happy 4th to all. Hopefully for those without power it will be restored sooner rather than later. I think several days for total restoration.

Reading between the lines I think it means they are doing little or nothing until daybreak.
-
Just got update from JCPL. For my area "estimated restoration times will not be available until tomorrow afternoon" This is not going to be a quick fix.
-
Not sure what happened in my area. My power went out before the winds really hit. We had a CTG strike, a boom of thunder and off went the power. Then the winds really picked up. Lighting must have hit something. Grid was probably pushed to the limit already with the heat.
-
JCPL outage map is lit up. Going to be a long time for full restoration on a holiday weekend I think. Could be days for some? My town seems to be leading the way with 95% of the power out. Chester area also up there with close to 80% out.

Might take a while to get the power back on over a holiday weekend. Thankful for the generator.

Temp fell like a rock. Currently 64 degrees.
