LongIslandHurricanes Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I wonder what the highest measured total an actual board member on here has. The highest I can find on WUNDERGROUND is Bellmore and the're approaching 9" with East Farmingdale a close second. Im the Bellmore one.Im up to 9.10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT5ANDREW Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The rain shield is starting to pivot more to the North.North and west will be the focus of the steadier heavier rains and should start to play catchup as the afternoon progresses. Well that was not a good call now was that? 7.04 here and still adding up.The DOT cleaned out a lot of sewers in the area during the spring and it shows.WHile there is flooding in the usual spots and was big flooding during the most intense rainfall earlier this morning,the flooding is not as bad as one would think with 7 inches of rain.

bluewave Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Nice Job with the GFS picking up the heavy rain potential further east with the 18z run on Friday then the 6z on Saturday while the other models were still too far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are dealing with a convective event, it will outdo the models a lot of times. And some models, like the NAM, showed this for 2 days prior.

Sometimes you can double the QPF that a meso model like the NAM, shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Or in the winter, cut it in half! LOL, well yeah...sometimes. It just depends on the circumstance. For instance in the winter when the models showing over an inch of QPF with 850-800mb temps near 0 the whole time, and the 700 low going over BGM probably means cutting QPF in half, dryslot approaching within hours, and then ending as IP/RA....lol.

RutgersWx92 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Storm total here is 4.60 inches so far. Amazing totals for sure, but the flooding around here is nowhere near as bad as it could've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Emptied the CoCoRaHS 4" gauge... found 4.96" for the event total here in Ewing (versus the Davis tipping bucket's 4.67"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Basements are still in bad shape here in Long Beach, a lot of pumping still going on. Almost everyone I know who has a basement or sloped garage sustained some kind of flooding damage today. In Island Park, some areas had water so high that it went into homes themselves. Numerous road closures also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavier that the rain is falling, the more that is missed when one bucket tips and the other is moving into the catch position. Little difference during light rain, but greater and greater as intensity increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
