T. August Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Up to 0.98" her with a few more drops to fall, a majority of which fell after in a 90 minute period between 7:30 and 9:00 which is fairly substantial. There was potential to get much more than that but unfortunately the models let us down when they bumped up totals yesterday. It looks like my area came in second place with parts of the LHV seeing almost 2" in spots. Lol I also got .98" in MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkiesFading Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I received a very underwhelming 0.55" here with only a little more to come. It looks like the clearing line is starting to push into NW NJ. I'm thinking the city and points west will salvage most of the afternoon with sun and temps rising to around 70.

IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Up to 0.99" at home and still reporting light rain. Keeping my fingers crossed to get over 1.00". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I will say a prayer that you get there. I know it's absolutely thrilling to watch rain fall. I really could do without all the trolling, especially coming from a respected met. People need to get over the fact that I enjoy rain. It's not like I prefer it over snow or prefer it over sun. I enjoy all types of weather unlike most people around here. Still stuck at 0.99" but reporting moderate rain again despite poor radar returns.

IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 you ever have your house damaged in one of those things ?- no fun - keep them away I was down in South Jersey for 2012 derecheo in a RV surrounded by 100ft oak trees. Not fun. But, as weather enthusiasts most here enjoy severe weather. It's not that we wish for death or destruction. It's sort of like me being a firefighter. We don't wish for anyone's house to burn down, but when it does happen and the adrenaline is pumping and people are going balls to the wall their is a thrill factor.

SnoSki14 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You want heavy rain then hope for some training tstorms this summer. Those can drop several inches in no time causing plenty of flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 You want heavy rain then hope for some training tstorms this summer. Those can drop several inches in no time causing plenty of flooding. Eh, radar is estimating storm totals >10" just northeast of Joplin, MO today with all of the convection. Now that's some heavy rain. My highlight was Irene, although most of that fell overnight. It caused some massive river flooding which was very sad, but the rates were incomparable to anything else I've ever experienced. The biggest events for the past five years for me: 1) Irene 2) Sandy 3) March 2010 noreaster' 4) Boxing Day Blizzard 5) Halloween snowstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It caused some massive river flooding which was very sad, but the rates were incomparable to anything else I've ever experienced. that whole month was insane. Even before Irene, we had 6 inches or something like that..so Irene's rains fell on already saturated grounds which made the tree damage all the more severe. Without the prior rains, I'd bet 1/2 of those trees don't fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yesterday's 12z ECMWF had a 998mb low near Sandy Hook at 12z Thursday. The low ended up about 80-100 miles or so further southeast and several mb weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Bust down here, I doubt we had anything more than some showers. JFK has only 0.20" for the whole "event" so far, maybe we add a little more and that's it.Scary to think of a repeat of last summer. I hate drought! South shore micro climate is showing it's ugly head again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I believe that August 2011 was #2 wettest month all time. Had 21.53 inches here that month and over 25 inches during a 30 day period into early sept.... by far my wettest month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select few think im pessimistic but living on the south shore of LI, getting organized convection and/or severe storms no matter what time of year its VERY rare.

Isotherm Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Let's be honest, the Northeast is not the place to live if you like convection. Even in great set-ups, one fly in the ointment can ruin everything. Occasionally we hit the jackpot, but it seems that it'd be safe to bet against widespread strong storms in the Northeast 9 / 10 times, and you'd have a good track record.

jm1220 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Select few think im pessimistic but living on the south shore of LI, getting organized convection and/or severe storms no matter what time of year its VERY rare. We oftentimes have mini-droughts in the summer along the coasts here. It wouldn't be rare to dry out for a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well, if you want wet come on up and visit us in the LHV. Tuesday we got doused and again early this morning. We have that temperate rainforest feel going on right now and plenty of mud to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even places that got heavy rain I don't think reported thunder or lightning I had thunder and lightning when I left for work at 7:50. I posted about that. Came down very hard for an hour with most of my 0.99" falling during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 depends where you were...for NJ and Philly major bust. Mild bust up here, still got .75 and a cold/rainy morning as forecast The biggest bust was the 6/3/14 12z ECMWF which had a large band of 2.00"+ totals. Convection is so hard to forecast and the globals have struggled immensely this year with QPF even in the near term. Take a look at today's 12z GFS, it has nearly constant rain and unsettled weather from hour 87 right through 384. You can count the dry panels on one hand. Doubt it verifies anything close to that.
