I've no skill in LR forecasting but the late start to the FALL frost-freeze season, NAEFS, and modeling through the 10th suggests we should be closer to normal this November than the positive departure we'll end up with in October. So when will the first snow accumulate I95 northwestward, then in NYC? Can we muster one more tropical RH contributor to the NYC subforum? Edited body at 742AM-Nov 2, to add the October 2021 CP +4.1F departure from normal, to use as comparison for NOV 2021 departure from normal.

OBS and nowcast 9PM tonight-8A Wednesday for a general 2-5" rain, isolated 8" possible. 40-60 kt damaging wind likely Tuesday-early Wednesday. Focus for damaging wind and heaviest rain is the I95 corridor to the coasts. Power outages esp CT LI. Reviewing Sundays 24th thread above: I didn't see 8" but overall I think the combined efforts here-in had a pretty accurate short fuse accounting of what would happen, in advance. Power outages were more in the forested areas north of I95 but I think we can agree the eastern tip of LI had near 70 Mph gusts. The extent of advisory/warning level winds was less than modeled. Max rainfall around 6.5". When the Delaware goes into flood from where it was, (a short fuse rise of 15 feet!!!) that tells you that it was a good thing the we were dry for 2+ weeks in advance of this event. I think aside from accurate SPC HREF, the EPS 5" coverage area was very good...better than the GEFS and imo, it also handled the intensity of the 85MB ne jet across New England much better. I'm pretty much done with this thread... thanks to all the contributors and critiques. The EDD comment this morning triggered my learning of this program from a long time met friend in CT and you'll in the future see imagery of reality max gusts.

OKX has just published LSR winds of 62-70 MPH from near Groton to e LI.

Prelim wrap on qpf... CoCoRaHs TWO DAY totals maps below. Click to enlarge. My 4.73 in Wantage NJ (8s High Point) looks pretty good. Walpack 5.02 and Vernon 5.04 via NJWXNET.

Adding WPC Excessive as a D3 starter.

Power outages and wind problems spread into our area. Good luck with this... note almost 1.2 mile without power in MA (thats 2.5x the number of meters out which you see attached.

Wantage NJ final 4.73". We'll see how much higher this is against nearby stations and whether indeed there is a high bias in heavy rain. Right now, I think my report is going to be pretty close to the reality. Monitor the river flooding... a bit interesting.

Fri afternoon-Saturday night: expect 1-3" of rain, iso 4" possible. FFG will be a lot lower so FF potential exists NNJ-se NYS. Any ongoing river flooding recessions this week will reverse with some rises in NJ/e PA/se NYS Fri night-Saturday because of the renewed rainfall-runoff. Wind in NJ coast may be higher than this mornings, by about 15 knots (easterly gusts 35-40 knots). Also coastal flood threat is a bit larger tho biggest inflow seems at low tide Fri eve. NYC which had 3.66" in this storm (less than I expected), should end up with 4.7"+ this week and monthly totals over 5.2", possible higher. Lots tbd, so lets get some 2 day precip summaries posted at 10am, as well as max winds/power outages. I'll add more to part two of this thread and a quick summary of part one, late today.

979MB low or lower passing just to the s of Nantucket now. Outages continue coming up in RI/MA and soon I think we'll see some increases e CT and LI.

Winds now coming up... gusts to around 40 kt parts of LI. Power outages not... so far. HRRR may be overdone a bit? Expect the worst wind risk done by 9 or 10A. many gusts 60 MPH in se MA where over 200,000 meters out and RI is nearing 10000 meters out.

MA now up to 10,000 meters without power. so Minor power outages responding to 40-44kt gusts Boston to parts of CC now. Am unsure how extensive power outs will be in CT/Li but staying with the forecast as presented earlier.

What I just wrote a special group of friends I84 corridor PA-BOS. Doesn't mean it's right but for anyone in there unaware, I think it's a useful heads up. Probably offline til 5P: then driving an ambulance overnight so may not be able to post overnight, if am on a call. Good Tuesday morning (Oct 26, 2021) everyone in CT-BOS. Some are aware that there will are no power tomorrow morning as wind gusts 50-70 MPH lash that region overnight tonight, for a 2-6 hour period, particularly 11PM-7AM. Be prepared. The heaviest rain of 3.5-6" is down here in NNJ/se NYS and far ne PA. Winds there should gust 45 mph at times, taking out branches and uprooting a few ground sodden trees w scattered power outages likely. The worst CT/e MA/LI later tonight. Also, be alert for possible flooding of vulnerable small streams/basements the next day or so entire I84 corridor and also late Friday when another significant event arrives, tho less potent than todays. However, with saturated ground, the flood potential may be slightly elevated from todays.

Updated title for damaging wind likely, strongest near sunrise Wed. This is a big one. Already 4-5" in parts of NJ and another 0.5-1.5" coming north of I78 in NJ thru sunrise Wed. Holding out for lower wind I do not think is prudent in the face of some of the short range guidance repeatedly stating 45-70 MPH gusts (HRRR/HRRRX and 3K NAM). I could be wrong---not privy to all NWS guidance-analysis but rather not err on the low side. If everyone wakes up with power tomorrow...that's a plus.

I agree, maybe few G45 MPH around 5A... b ut also at 11A when a quick 70KT speed max at 850MB rolls westward. BDR now gusting 38 kt.

I think the 12z 3K NAM and 12z HRRR/HRRRX will ice it for whether damaging wind occurs as now outlooked by HRRR/HRRRX, 3K NAM for CT/e LI.

storm centered near JFK at this time. NLY wind gusts 30KT up in Kingston.

Here are some 4+" amounts...remember, some of these reported at 6A, others at 830A...makes a big difference. All smooths out tomorrow morning when we do the two day. No SVR occurred last night in our area. However, NWS PHI now has two rivers in NJ forecast to moderate FS and many reports of rescues, and further reports 4+".

Looking for 4 consec months. We are now, 10+ 3 consec months in NYC. NYC now as of 8AM 2.92" monthly seemingly heading for 5 by the time this is done (i think-maybe am too high?). 1.8" past 6 hrs. Wantage now at 3.57" for the storm. STP's from DIX especially too low per earlier CoCoRaHs match. So my rainfall might be a tad high but wxunderground has lots of support here in nw NJ.

NYC heading for a 7" month of October with over 1.95" for this storm as of 7A. Seldom if ever see 4 onset months of 7+... not there yet but I think NYC heading for near 5 on this one. Added some rainfall totals... so far via CoCoRaHs and NYS mesonet. Also gusts 35-35 KT now north shore of LI as sfc low near Sandy Hook.

I'm leaving the thread title as is.... however, I think our forum will receive a general 1-3" rain later Friday-Saturday. Models have quite a southern sweep of the trough and while it weakens northeastward through us during the weekend, too late. Inflow of PW near 1.75" has occurred and I see a 6-12 hour rain of 1-3" with leftover weekend showers topping a few spots off with possible 4" totals. Depending on what we have by sunrise Wednesday, I may include isolated weekly max total of around 11-12" Still a little early. Winds not as strong but soft ground still remains. This one looks to me to be a potential flood potential enhancer (or delayed recessions etc) for NJ/se NYS. 637A/26.

Weatherflow Tempest is doing just fine... #'s comparable to surrounding weather underground and will review with CoCoRaHs later this morning. On-line till about 11 and then done til 5P or later. Wantage NJ so far as of 610AM 2.51". When you're in the heart of it, sometimes you like to raise amounts. Holding firm. I think much of NNJ NYC Metro and se NYS, ne PA will be around 5-6" with the bulk done by 2PM (less e LI CT). Isolated 8" by the time this is done daybreak Wednesday, somewhere with 40 miles of the NJ/NYS border into extreme ne PA border with NYS. I just need to think of the entire forum. Will rereview title in a few minutes. The wind is another story. I could see a pulse of 35-40kt gusts 10A-2P, but the real deal back breaker is the well defined southwest moving 70-85kt 850 MB jet core rotating back toward us with the storm center. Wind gusts for a 2-4 hour period of 50+ MPH gusts for LI, CT s of I84 tonight, mainly 10P-7A and that will probably result in quite a few power outages with potential for 70 MPH gusts e LI. I relied on the HRRR, HRRRX, and the Richardson # with the 3KNAM--- i t looks very rough s CT e LI. The only hold back by mets may the somewhat less than ideal sounding (not adiabatic), but turbulent turnover may win out. Be prepared for the power outages late tonight which if occur will mean power out for quite a while, and if they don't occur, it's an area for modeling improvement (or my faulty terpretation). Will update the overall thread for Friday-Saturday by 7AM. Added the HRRRX for axis of best rainfall.

0ver 3/4" in less than 1 hr Wantage. My rain data is very close to digital output. i see over 2" in parts of ne NJ now. This is going to be bad news for parts of NNJ/se NYS/NYC/maybe ne PA too. After all the rain next 18 hours we send a bunch of wind southwest thru CT/LI to add power outages.

At this point, I see a sizable event, slower than currently modeled but my interest is what is going on now. Just pounded 3/4" in less than hr here and i see 2+ inches to my east where a flood warning in effect. I think we've got a big problem ahead for parts of our forum. Wind rain-power. It's been underplayed too much.
