This is in and out very quickly, with probably only around a half inch of rain. There will be some scattered downpours during the afternoon, but overall this won't be the huge rainstorm that was advertised. Thursday's storm looks as if it will be a much bigger one. Yeah, looking at the radar it seems like the main batch passed by most of us already. Not saying we're done with rain, just came through faster than I thought.

JerseyWx Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My area received a general 1.00"-1.30" since midnight. That's not far off from Friday's storm. Just about 1.05" here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using totals around your area from Wunderground and approximating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say about, that usually means the average amount my area recieved, which is just over an inch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The radar looks a bit juicier than forecasted. Looks like two main areas of convection, one just to the South and West of Lancaster and the other near the Eastern end of West Virginia panhandle.

Still you're talking >0.50" more to come in a lot of places that would be enough to put most people in the ~1.50"+ range that was forecasted.

NJwx85 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 One thing to keep in mind for later, the HRRR stalls the warm front right over our region and that's going to setup quite the temperature gradient over NNJ. Thinking most of the convection should ride along the boundary. Could be 70 degrees near the DE Water Gap and in the lower 50's in Rockland County. That's not going to produce surface based instability but there is quite a bit of elevated instability already in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Actually not too bad on the SBCAPE. Even if the core of the surface based instability remains to our Southwest, the storm motion should still bring whatever forms through our region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing missing was some wind which would of made it severe. It's was a fun 15 minutes nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
