July 14-16 Flash Flood Watch & Warnings

Recommended Posts

WPC reduced the precip amounts in the metro - if this verifies should be few flooding problems considering how dry its been the last few weeks maybe some localized brief flooding in poor drainage areas

We could definitely use it on Long Island, where it's been bone dry since June. Luckily, these kind of systems that are more synoptic in nature during the summer can deliver it to us. Quick frontal boundary passages and T-storm outbreaks are usually DOA once past Queens.

YUP! couldn't of said it better. if storms don't hit in the morning or we don't get synoptic rains over a frontal passage its VERY boring around here, save for the rogue summer thunderstorm of garden variety. same every year, winter-spring with some rain then a boring summer, maybe some autumn coastal storms than back into winter

By your descriptions, anyone who's a weather enthusiast on Long Island should just jump in the tub with a toaster and be done with it.

I've always thought that 2-3" was a safe bet with locally higher amounts.

obviously flooding is a concern these next couple days but I still feel fairly confident in a decent severe threat today and tomorrow, especially for tomorrow anywhere in the tri state area chris

Yeah, we often get severe storms during these flash flood threats this time of year.

 

...MID ATLANTIC INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND...

AREAS OF EARLY SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT LIKELY

NON-SEVERE. IN THE WAKE OF SAID ACTIVITY...HEATING WILL OCCUR ACROSS

VA IN THE LEE TROUGH...WITH SLY SURFACE WINDS MAINTAINING UPPER 60S

TO NEAR 70 F DEWPOINTS FROM THE DELMARVA NWD TO THE OLD BOUNDARY

ACROSS NERN PA/SERN NY/SRN NEW ENGLAND. A GRADUAL INCREASE IN STORMS

CAN BE EXPECTED FROM NRN VA ACROSS ERN PA BY EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH

OTHER ACTIVITY ALONG THE STALLED FRONT ACROSS SRN NEW ENGLAND.

ALTHOUGH SHEAR WILL NOT BE STRONG...SMALL LOOPING HODOGRAPHS...AMPLE

MOISTURE AND PERSISTENT LIFT COULD HELP A FEW STORMS ACQUIRE

ROTATION...WITH A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO POSSIBLE AND/OR ENHANCED WIND

GUSTS WITH SMALL BOWS. THE GENERALLY WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT SHOULD

KEEP HAIL MAINLY SMALL.

The NAM seems to be focusing on tonight and then again tomorrow night into Wednesday morning as the timeframes for heaviest rain with tomorrow during the day mostly dry

Sometimes these training events are underforecasted-I know that no model had anyone having over 10" of rain before the deluge in August 2011 a week before Irene like my town did. 2-3" of rain is probably the safe bet but it wouldn't surprise me if places see more than that.

Seeing many SREF members > 3" with a few much higher than that is definitly a wet signal. Flash flooding seems likely. A lot of this could fall in relativly short bursts.

100% agree here especially in short bursts with a heavier thunderstorm where you can pick up 1"+ in no time. The areas with the most convective activity through wednesday morning will jackpot, however west and east of NYC is still a wild card. Ive seen situations where totals were high west and east of NYC with less in NYC proper so this should be interesting to say the least

It's sort of interesting, the 12z NAM has the heaviest activity over eastern sections between 2AM and 8AM on Wednesday. I think most people think we'll have cleared out by then. The mainstream media certainly seems to be portraying that Wednesday will be dry.

1.15" here from the storms last night...that serves as a nice precursor event to saturate the ground for whatever falls today and tomorrow. I think a widespread 2-3" is likely but higher amounts are definitely possible in localized areas. HRRR has 2-3" of rain in much of the immediate metro area just through 10 pm tonight so we'll see. And it has 40+ kts of 0-6 km shear just west of the city in NNJ later today which could definitely make things interesting.

Looks like convection will become widespread in the area after about 2 pm. Then let the fun begin.

From your lips to God's ears. It's been awhile since we've had an event like this on our doorstep. Most have fizzled out as we drew closer.
