SBUWX23 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 5.02 now here. Where are you located? What type of rain gauge are you using? Any flooding in your area that you know? It might be useful to send your rainfall into NWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 4.58" here now. The SW part of Nassau has been inundated. I don't know if this is some sort of record, but I saw 2.8" of rain in one hour between 4 and 5, I can't remember ever seeing that kind of rainfall in one hour before.

William, how much rainfall do you remember getting in October 2005? Did you get 10" or more in one day from that prolonged event? That's the only other event I can remember being of this magnitude.

A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Wow, get a load of that 16" rainfall total in Lynbrook LOL and JFK almost a foot. And up to 18" in your area! I dont think we will ever match those totals... especially for one day. William, did JFK or Islip or one of the other Long Island locations get 20" that month? Seeing some places get 18" in one day makes me think someone came close to 30" for the month (Upton?) Thanks for the numbers, I didn't know they were so high lol.

We were reminiscing about October 2005, because that was about as historic for rainfall as January 1996 was for snowfall (maybe even moreso!) We are over 5 inches of rain and this storm is barely 3 hours old lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Haha...I was wondering about those foot reports Currently no FF watches/warnings in those areas.... I remember some people saying that Long Island wouldn't get much because of some sort of marine layer-- I think they were forgetting that any kind of marine layer is negligible in July and August-- last I checked our SST were 78 degrees. If anything, the SST are warmer than the air temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm still not particularly sold on this rain event especially for east of the City. There does seem to be a broader rain shield that develops on most models that sweeps most people but if this is the kind of convective/daytime heating kind of event we're seeing today, it's hard for me to see coastal areas getting hit that hard, at least compared to NJ. I'd wager a lot that the usual suspects in north or central NJ run away with this event. Hopefully tomorrow and Monday I'm proven wrong. Has there ever been a time when you didn't write a paragraph like this prior to the onset of a precipation event in the local area? Believe me, I would not call you out if you only did it once or twice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 LOL William that actually reminds me of Jan 26-27 last winter when a bunch of people were dismissing our chances for getting snow. Getting that surprise dump in the morning changed those opinions quick! Pretty much along the lines of the quick deluge we got this morning.

A-L-E-X Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I shouldn't be so quick to say that something like October 2005 wont happen again in our lifetimes-- we've obviously seen an uptick of big events in the last few years, so it's entirely possible we'll live to see some of those October 2005 records broken..... perhaps even in the not to distant future.
