IsentropicLift Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 latest radar is actually filling in over Monmouth county and working its way up to the city. With the event on Monday the cutoff was too sharp and perhaps thats going to happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say "big deal" when people are going to be experiencing major to historic flooding? If you don't live in a flood plain, no rain storm is really a big deal no matter how much falls.

The media and everyone I have bumped into is talking like this is the worst storm to hit us in a while. its going to be a nightmare for North Jersey SE NY and perhaps into western CT given how high the rivers are and saturated ground...news media is not that far off with the hype here....

Stormlover74 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 But the media is hyping it as a big deal for NYC, 40 mph winds, driving torrential rains, umbrellas not working, people stepping in puddles. After the cataclysmic winter they had how will the city survive. Is this caused by global warming? Is this what the future holds? You know they live for this stuff. How can you say "big deal" when people are going to be experiencing major to historic flooding? If you don't live in a flood plain, no rain storm is really a big deal no matter how much falls.

IsentropicLift Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Not sure why they think this will be a big deal for the city. I guess the flashier rivers in the Bronx could see some significant rises overnight but this has always been a NE PA northern NJ event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 big deal 1-2" of rain What an awful post. Mount Holly's latest AFD even addresses the seriousness of it: .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...LATEST RADAR SHOWS AN AREA OF PRECIP ACRS MAINLY PA AND NJ, WITH ABIT OF A LULL OVER DE, AND SOME MORE PRECIP BETWEEN DC AND BALT,WITH A BIT OF A BREAK BEHIND THAT. HOWEVER, ADDITIONAL PRECIP ISEXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND WE ARE GOING TO BE IN FOR A VERY WETPERIOD AS MOISTURE PUMPS NORTH AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. NOREASON TO CHANGE THE FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. IT WILL REMAIN INEFFECT UNTIL 8 AM FRIDAY MORNING. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL MOVEINTO OUR AREA TODAY. THE HEAVIEST IS FORECAST TO OCCUR EARLYTONIGHT AS THE FRONTAL ZONE MOVES IN. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ORTWO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT, ESPECIALLY IN OUR SOUTHERN AREAS.RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE WIDESPREAD, WITH UP TO 4INCHES POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY FROM THE I-95 CORRIDOR N AND W. THESEAMOUNTS WILL PRODUCE MINOR TO MAJOR FLOODING ON THE MAJORITY OFOUR WATERWAYS. THIS WILL BE A WIDESPREAD FLOOD EVENT AND IT ISPOSSIBLE THAT SOME RIVERS AND STREAMS COULD APPROACH RECORDLEVELS. ANYONE LIVING IN OR NEAR A FLOOD PRONE AREA SHOULD REMAINALERT TODAY INTO FRIDAY FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF VERY HIGH WATER.EVEN THE MAJOR RIVERS IN OUR AREA WILL NOT BE SPARED, ESPECIALLYSINCE WATER LEVELS ARE STILL RUNNING HIGH FROM OUR LAST EPISODE.

IsentropicLift Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The only saving grace with this event, and its not much of one is that the rivers did have a few days to recover. Had this rain come Tuesday all of the Passaic River basins would have likely seen record heights. Still records are possible if 3.5"+ falls.

IsentropicLift Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Steady moderate precip or better already approaching the Pompton River. Would think the river should begin to rise steadily within the next hour or two. Seems a tad ahead of schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof09 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 As fun as it is to track a big storm like this you gotta feel for the residents that live along flood prone rivers and streams. After sundays torrent this is only going to make it a lot worse and national gaurd may have to be initialized for some locals as well if major flooding does occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
