I'm trying to make it up to the Poconos tonight along I-87 and Route 17, do you guys think this is realistic?

Rain started to come down in buckets a minute ago here in Southern Westchester, briefly backed off, but radar looks to be filling in again from the SE with the coastal.

I'm sure you can make it, its just a matter of whether or not it takes you until 3 or 4AM ;)

I know they haven't had much up there, but we've seen about 3" with radar filling in, and I have a tiny car that isn't so great on flooded roads. I have to decide if I can make the 140-mile trip safely tonight, or wait it out until later tomorrow when we experience a break from the torrential rainfalls. There looks to be an area of 35-40dbz echoes along Route 17 heading towards Middletown, so that is not so wonderful.

Do people think the band currently oriented from NYC to Middletown is going to lift towards the north, or start to train over our area as the coastal fills in?

That means in the past 5 years, EWR has had their wettest March (10), April (07) and now August days on record

Looks like we wound up with around 6.5" here (!) but I can't believe the almost 11" in Nassau County. Wow!!
