That entire line coming into western NJ is severe warned. Let’s see if it can maintain as it heads east 

The problem is the line is heading ESE. So even if it holds together, it will likely miss NYC to the south.

 

All I had here today was sprinkles. The heavy rain event from the remnants of Laura was a bust, but for a few days there certainly were signs that the worst of it would miss to the south. Not a huge suprise that we got nothing.

for all the potential this week was enormously disappointing.

That's true. Even though there were signs that the worst of it would miss to the south, northern NJ to NYC was at least supposed to see some scattered downpours today. At least we had that nice storm the other night. It was cool seeing the heavy rain blow sideways with that strong north wind from that storm.

So in summary, I'm pretty sure tropical moisture made it at least into the extreme southern part of our NYC forum, per attached radar and CoCoRAHS rainfall Fri-Sat (3"+ extreme south part). The EC and UK were far too strong on the remnant Laura holding together across the Apps and may have contributed to some of the high bias in forecasting the resultant rainfall (disappointment for many of us I78 northward).

Our part of Wantage NJ had less than 1/2", even including the 27th!

I do think it was worthwhile to follow Laura's potential impact on our area, appreciating model guidance in its various deficiencies and strengths. We do know there were flood warnings near PHL and in the Delmarva for this storm...fairly close but not close enough.
