lrene's Heavy Rain Impacts in PHL 8/29 - 8/31


ptb127

Recommended Posts

Is it inland from the shore in Jersey?

It rides the Parkway. As a minimal cat 1 or strong TS. (Per a met friend of mine with high res data that I can't see right now)

I've been thinking 50-60 gusts in Trenton but that may be high if its only a strong TS.

Thanks. I'm debating whether its even worth driving to LI tomorrow to see what could most likely be a Tropical Storm as it passes the area. Hmmmmmmm.....

Jersey really is going to bare the brunt of this I think. Between the coastal erosion and interior flooding of streams/rivers. Very bad.

I think gusts of 50-60 are possible for TTN even at a tropical storm IF it rides the Parkway. If its east of Belmar heading for LI, probably 40-50. IMO.

I would only go to LI if you don't need to be back in PA for several days. Traffic will be a nightmare from flooding probably through Wednesday.

Ugh, I need to be back no later than Tuesday morning. I was hoping any flooding you be gone by late Mon. night or Tue. morning.....obvisously my main concern in the Belt Parkway.

Oh well, I'm 50/50 as of this point...but slowly leaning against going.

I mean, you would probably make it, it would just be a big pain in the ass with major delays.

What's the single month record?

I was wondering that.

RECORD EVENT REPORT

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ

910 AM EDT FRI AUG 26 2011

...THE WETTEST MONTH ON RECORD AT PHILADELPHIA...

...RECORD MONTHLY RAINFALL AT PHILADELPHIA...

WITH THE 0.61 INCHES OF RAIN THAT FELL AT PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL

AIRPORT YESTERDAY, THE AUGUST MONTHLY TOTAL NOW STANDS AT 13.61

INCHES. THIS SURPASSED THE PREVIOUS AUGUST RECORD OF 12.10 INCHES,

WHICH WAS SET BACK IN 1911.

THIS ALSO MAKES AUGUST 2011 THE ALL TIME WETTEST MONTH ON RECORD

BREAKING THE OLD RECORD OF 13.07 INCHES, WHICH OCCURRED DURING

SEPTEMBER 1999 /MOSTLY HURRICANE FLOYD/.

WITH HURRICANE IRENE MOVING UP THE EAST COAST, ADDITIONAL RAINFALL

WILL PUSH THESE RECORDS HIGHER.

What ever does happen with this storm one thing is for sure. Its one thing to have plans in place for events like this. Its another thing to see them in action. If nothing else its good practice/prep for the present and future storms.

Also is Mount Holly putting out another powerpoint briefing. I may have just missed it today.
