Henri: Moderate-Major impacts NYC subforum this weekend, possibly into Monday August 21-23, 2021

[Santa Claus]

so i was doing some reading and learned Hurricane Sally cost $7.3 billion and was the most expensive storm not to be retired.

kind of funny that Henri is going to be one of the rainiest events ever for NYC and very likely isn't going to be retired, unless it unleashes some serious flood disasters tomorrow as it pivots.

thats all she wrote for now, as we await the pivot back east.  not sure how much i’ve gotten thus far probably in the 4-5” range 3.3” today but another station says 5.2”

When is the pivot expected?

That source is way off for today’s rainfall. At 4 pm, the daily climate summary showed 1.90”. More fell since then.

I couldn’t get a good picture of it with my phone, but the moon looks absolutely gorgeous right now, it’s very comfortable out and not a breeze to be felt. If you had told me this even just 24 hours ago I would have said you were crazy. 

[Tatamy]

No full moon out here.  The moisture from Henri has circled all the way around from CT, SE NY, and northern NJ and found it’s way to eastern PA.  It’s been pouring out here tonight after a drizzly day.  2.01” on the day so far.

that was training storms I believe we got 10" in southwest Nassau too!  Do you have JFK totals for that storm?

Yeah I was suprised to see it but it sure is bright, with thin clouds racing by in front

Large parts of the parkway are now flooded.

 

[doncat]

4.14" storm total so far... A 74/70 temp split sunday...Monthly precip at 7.10" and ytd of 40.20".

[gravitylover]

1.75 so lotsa water but less than the late week deluge last week. 

[Snowlover11]

rain is slowly shifting back east.

[ForestHillWx]

No idea how much, but still raining. Wunderground precip map from Mt. Holly has me in “purple” colors. I would guess 6+ at this point. 

[Rtd208]

Picked up 3.34" of rain for the day yesterday

0.15" of rain so far today

Storm total of 3.89"

[TriPol]

Looks like the pivot is happening now. Hope we don't get a big nor'easter or another trop-storm or hurricane up this way in September -- we will lose all the trees with the soaked ground.

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ (this part) in extreme nw NJ.  5.10" since 9PM/21, includes 4.1 yesterday most of which feel between 6P and 9P/22.  For an early look 8AM/22 to 4AM/23...radar multi sensor rainfall...conservative for sure but the idea of max axis. I say give the SPC HREF some props, as well as sometimes the HRRR,  often the HRRRX, and even the GGEM tho it was wayyyy off on tracking Henri. I'll add a very general wrap on the storm and CoCoRAHS 2 day acscums, probably this evening around 9P> 

[Dan76]

Hey it's raining out.

[Snowlover11]

absolutely pouring outside, surprised we have no ffw right now.

[gravitylover]

Picked up another half inch since the pivot started, puts me around 2.3" total.

[nyrangers1022]

Boy did my area luck out with the rain yesterday and last night.    Probably not even an inch yet.   I was basically dry slotted all day in Eastern Orange county....I know more is still out there, but right now I'm basically back smack in the middle in the dry/drizzle slot

[dWave]

Pouring again but with wind now.

Lots of road closures, if it has parkway in its name its probably closed

[weathermedic]

Closing in on 7 inches total (6.93) at my station with this morning’s rain.

Interesting, West Point had 2.40” and one of our regular posters from New Windsor had just over 2”, 2.92” here in Campbell Hall.

I don't have a gauge, but it was drizzle most of the day, and dry for s couple hours too here.  Couple heavy showers that lasted 5-10 minutes.    No idea what it did overnight tho. Although in a moderate shower now

[nycsnow]

Pouring now and there is definitely more wind today 

[TheSn0wman]

Haven’t been following this one too closely and being at my parents house in Monmouth County we didn’t really get much.

 

That said I need to take the parkway or turnpike north to Westchester County NY today. Think I should be ok to depart here around 10am?

[nycsnow]

Wind driven heavy rain on west side highway

Pouring in Carteret. Yesterday it was a constant rain, but seems a heavier rainfall this morning.
