Yup, this is historic so someone should save some radar loops-- not that the precip would be moving much on them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT5ANDREW Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 4.14 inches now.I have never had that amount of rain fall in an overnight period here.My previous record was 3.4 inches in JUly 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAT5ANDREW Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This is JAN 1996 in terms of nocturnal thunderstorms.I now have an incredible 4.43 inches as of 6AM.If we get the heavier amounts later on,the 5-6 inches the models had for some could very well be surpassed.

tmagan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Look at the 0.5" isohyet on the 09Z RUC for forecast hour one. About as big as you will see for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think October 2005 is the king of rainfall around here-- I was so upset NYC came so close to breaking their alltime monthly rainfall record with 10 days to go but it stopped raining there-- however, on Long Island we had over 20 inches of rain that month! That will always be my most historic time period of rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow its ironic we got so much rain that summer and yet 1995 will forever be known as the summer of heat, drought and widespread forest fires.

A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Eastern Suffolk county had a massive brush fire out there. Yup there were tons of them all over the place. I remember the smell of burning brush and seeing smoke rising from the hills in NW NJ-- I will never forget that smell! There was so much fire you could see the plumes rising up on satellite, from NJ to Long Island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
