mgerb Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think I've seen heavy rain for about 25 minutes total today. I'm not complaining though, my house has 2 basements. I dunno. I'm just across the river from you in Somerset and I'm up to 2.06" for the day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isnice Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not much wind right now, leaves are pretty steady, but man it is raining outside. Towns in NJ like Bound Brook and New Brunswick are really going to get hammered with flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Getting a deluge here, and I'm starting to notice the winds now too, maybe gusting to 20 mph. That feeder band coming off of the ocean looks nasty, and it's headed right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the worst looking hurricane i've ever seen... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t2/loop-avn.html It's begun it's extratropical transition now--and it has been discussed (at length earlier in this thread, or the previous thread..not sure) how this transition both expands the wind field and allows for some more atmospheric destabilization..albiet slight..which could help mix down winds to the surface in convection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
