The sun just came out here as the clearing near the center is moving across LI.

BDR .81.    RGEM was too wet.   NAM was closer to reality.  3K NAM was best IMO

 

JFK is 1.33"

ISP 1.01"

NYC: 1.21"

And there are still bands of showers rotating in.

I thought that the radar presentation and droplet size suggested some warm core characteristics with this one, and interestingly, while the phase diagrams are still cold-core, they're VERY close to the line, especially for an April storm.  I assume that given the lack of baroclinic forcing and the recent trip over the Gulf Stream, this one has some warm core processes going on.  Cool little low.

It was an interesting storm evolution from down near the Yucatan. If the storm had a few more days to sit near the Bahamas, it may have come close to attaining tropical characteristics  like the storm recently did over the Eastern Atlantic. As it was, the record rainfall and river crests over NC were similar in some locations to tropical systems in the fall.

These areas of showers keep increasing the totals. EWR may still hit an inch

Funny thing is we're supposed to have a lower number of TC this season and yet we've already had one and possibly could have had a second one.

I wonder if the Yanks/Red Sox game will be rained out again.

Not sure if we ever had 2 years in a row with the A storm coming in by 4-20.

About 1.80" (and counting smh) for the entire event.

The sun came out briefly when I was in Suffolk, the temp quickly spiked to 66-67. Still drizzling off and on here by JFK, I wish it would end already.

Nah, the rain is sporadic there. Could be a delay or two if something more pronounced develops but they can play through light rain.

sun here-partial clearing working in from the NW

[Morris]

Very misty.
