Sock Puppet Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Some streets flood easier plus I'm not sure how much you got there since it didn't rain at all on Ocean Parkway and Ave J. The current batch is weakening as it moves in so I wouldn't worry. Thanks , I'm up in the Catskills always a bit nervous about my basement flooding, last summer I had issues with the big storm before Irene. If you get serious rains please post. Thanks.

forkyfork Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The rainfall rates with these storms are absolutely incredible. I expect totals today to reach 3" in some spots with the way things are shaping up currently weak shear and high pwats will do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neblizzard Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It is absolutely pouring here in Elizabeth NJ. Looks like storms are starting to fire inland as well. Not too shabby for having limited instability...the outflow boundary near the coast is doing its thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Outflow boundary is definitely triggering convection. Just had a storm blow up overhead right after it passed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neblizzard Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Outflow boundary is definitely triggering convection. Just had a storm blow up overhead right after it passed through. Another cell near Woodbridge is moving slowly to the north, I can see some flashes of lightning to my south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neblizzard Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Were seeing more action in our area today with hardly any shear than last week during that derecho tha moved through our area or what was left of it haha go figure Totally different setup for sure. Weak winds aloft and high Pwats will give you training storms especially when there is an outflow boundary nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwcMan Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 That cell near Woodbridge is insane. Incredible rain rates and flash flooding in minutes. Rt. 9 around Woodbridge turned into a river and I drove past a truck that ended up smashed on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Poured for a few here in Garden City, now just light rain...Looks like the rain stays west of much of the island today. Looks like we will salvage the weekend and get some nice storms in here Monday...perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsnowx53 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Training storms! The same areas will continue to get hit for a while in the "train line" and areas right near the line will continue to get missed. More storms may fire in other areas, though.

RutgersWx92 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 No rain at all here in New Brunswick but the clouds to the northwest from that training line of storms looked quite dark when I was outside a few minutes ago. Also heard quite a few rumbles of thunder and one very loud one. Those storms must be dumping a ton of rain in the Franklin/Bound Brook/Manville area. Amazing what a difference just a few miles makes. They've prompted a flash flood warning actually: THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A * FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR... SOMERSET COUNTY... NORTHWESTERN MIDDLESEX COUNTY... * UNTIL 645 PM EDT... AT 235 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED VERY HEAVY RAIN FROM A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHWESTERN MIDDLESEX AND SOMERSET COUNTIES. AS MUCH AS TWO AND ONE-HALF INCHES OF RAIN MAY HAVE FALLEN SO FAR IN PARTS OF THE WARNED AREA. * LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO NEW BRUNSWICK AND SOMERVILLE. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNED AREA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what a difference just a few miles makes. They've prompted a flash flood warning actually: Yeah. Also nothing at my home in the southeastern corner of Franklin Twp, while a few miles north have been getting hammered. Looks like a few cells are starting to pop further south in Mercer Co along the outflow, so maybe this will finally move the cells south into New Brunswick proper.

rcad1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Crazy out on the island as well I saw one down pour for about two min in carle place otherwise just sun and clouds while to my North and West they have gotten hit all day and it doesnt look like its going to change if anything radar looks to be drying up a bit over the nyc metro so im not expecting much of anything today the bubble still remains tight around us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 got downpoured on and had to stop work...rained in sheets sideways and frontways...definitely our heaviest rain event storm of the year, probably dropped 1-2 inches of rain which sucks for everyone but the crabgrass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more on the western edge of town only few miles from East Millstone in a lull now up to 1.14'' definitely nice slug forming to the south.

Stormlover74 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've had light to occasionally moderate rain here the past couple hours. It has gotten noticeably heavier however in the past 15 minutes. Radar definitely shows the areal coverage growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
