Upton’s updated QPF map has backed off somewhat.

Totally agree, being along the Hudson River at lower elevations is a micro climate. Up on Storm King at 1,000 ft is a totally different world along with going further inland westwards towards Montgomery/Goshen the fall leaf colors are more in swing. Then when the winter type precipitation occurs, the type and accumulations can vary in short distances. It’s very accurate when doing winter forecasts by many they use 84 as a dividing line for precipitation type and accumulations.

I was at weeds orchards 3 weeks ago. It was a total madhouse with non local morons walking around and a few walking around with wine bottles and their masks down. Staff was consistently on them. In addition, at the end of the day they were selling their last batch of cider donuts and some rude non mask wearing non local was giving the poor girl behind the counter a hard time because she wanted to buy all of them even with a sign limiting customers to 1 dozen. They made the poor girl cry, I went over to the local police officer that was nearby and sicked his ass on them. It’s not the same that it used to be for all the local farms. So sad.

1.85 here.

1.85 Storm total.

0.70 as of 10pm

Currently at 0.49. Maybe I should turn off the sprinkler. Too close to the rain gauge

Wow I’m surprised at your amount.

Agree. We should definitely knocking on the door of 2”+ the way the Radar is currently looking.

.33 here so far.

0.33 so far. The line coming up thru NYC area will definitely add some more before the FROPA.

0.27 in the Davis so far today. Hopefully, we get a little more from the band of showers moving up in central NJ before the front gets here with it’s heavier QPF to soften up the ground.

Hopefully we get some light rain for a few hours to soften up the ground for absorbing purposes. Everything is rock hard now. Flash flooding could definitely be an issue.

I’m glad I’m not under one of those flocks.

Fringed up here light rain shower.

0.27 here after midnight.

If it works, don’t let a good thing go. She probably forgot about it, and you save $3.98

0.64 here in the bucket today. Could add some more overnight after midnight.

Mesoscale Discussion 1637 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0545 PM CDT Sat Aug 29 2020 Areas affected...southeast New York...Connecticut...Massachusetts...New Hampshire Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 469... Valid 292245Z - 300045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 469 continues. SUMMARY...A primarily damaging wind threat may spread south and east of the severe thunderstorm watch 469. An additional watch is possible. DISCUSSION...A line of storms continues to increase in coverage and intensity along the cold front, now approaching the ALB area and extending southwestward in segmented fashion into eastern PA. Around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE exists ahead of the front, along with increasing GPS PWAT values up to 2.00" from the Chesapeake to CT. The moist air mass, combined with lift along the front should maintain a threat of storms along the front, with a few severe gusts possible. ..Jewell.. 08/29/2020

Yup real close. Dodged a bullet. Others weren’t so lucky. The view would have been awesome from up by the parking lot especially being on the southern side of the cell.
