Heavy rain event 8/14-8/15 discussion/obs

12z NAM is 1"-2" across the board with heavier amounts of 2"-4" in western Jersey.

Starts early tomorrow morning and right through Monday.

Luckily I flew back today. Looks like a soggy couple of days sunday and monday. It has certainly taken a much wetter turn as has been a constant case of late when things seemingly go dry.

I have not been below 80 since July 3rd.I am looking forward to the clouds and the rain.Nobody should be complaining.I believe in the past 2 summers only 4 weekend days were washouts.

Save the rain for the fall, who wants an all day soaker in the summer, especially on a weekend. Plenty wet of late too. Here's to a miracle of it being less than forecast...

wacka-doo :thumbsdown: . save it for fall. Interesting how this is prolonged into Tue morning, could be talking some bad flooding.

I would too, but rarely do we see three straight months of summerlike weather-- usually it's either June or August that's a washout lol.

June was pretty much average. With 2-3 shots of heat. All stations finished only +1 to +2.

August will probably finish similar or even lower.

I guessed -.5 to + 1, before month started.

Just wishful thinking, id be more pleased with a few hours of tstorms. We did luck out most of last weekend and we had been dry, so we're do for the usual 3 - 6 inch rain event and it will be interesting to track. I just cant see rooting for it in the middle of August, on a weekend.

Still think we could get back to and above normal by the end of this week/next weekend and maybemore so the week of the 22nd.

Mt. Holly finally posted flood watches for eastern PA and parts of central and NW NJ for two to three inches with locally higher amounts possible. Not surprised to see this at all, especially after the incredible 18z NAM run (although keep in mind that the 18z NAM has been known to overdo QPF right before events in the past). Taken verbatim though it would be 6-7 inches of rain for my area, which would likely cause some pretty severe flooding. Wouldn't be surprised to see Upton follow suit later tonight with the flood watches.

I, for one, and definitely looking forward to this rain event. The weather has been far too boring around here recently, and I always enjoy a good soaking rainstorm.

I think we were +3.3 for June out this way-- weird, how much variance we had this summer.

Soaking rainstorms are much more fun than thunderstorms with small coverage and dont last very long.

If the past is any indicator, look for Upton to pull the trigger for Flood Watches sometime early Monday morning and/or after several inches of rain have already fallen.

Jk :thumbsup:
