first time i heard that term was a few weeks ago in a flood near philly

I had one once when I lived in Austin TX in May 2015 during the epic floods there. It was crazy. Creeks overflowed and literally flowed through downtown. If it’s an emergency NWS isn’t messing around at all.

Looks like its moving NW. 

 

 

fairly significant trend NW tbh, its definitely drifting. If this trend continues brooklyn/queens could get a whole ton more rain and theyve already received a ton tonight from these bands that drifted away from Henri. I assume it will stop drifting west at some point and just be traveling north but the question is how much will it drift west and when will that westward movement stop? Im still relatively worried over here in central/southern Nassau.

Central Park received 1.94” of rain in the last hour. That set a new hourly record. The old record was 1.76”, which was set on September 8, 2004.

Manhattan,queens,kings for ny and hudson essex and bergen for nj counties currently under flash flood emergencies

Wobbles tend to happen with these. We have to watch over the next hour or so to see if it stays NNW or wobbles back east.

Finally it slows down here lol

the storm is following the flow  from the trough

[nycsnow]

Any winds above 30 tomorrow can do some damage with this saturated ground

Incredible 

[weathermedic]

3.14 inches so far at my station.

[jm1220]

I’m also seeing it heading due N on radar. Not seeing NNW. At any rate Central Park has 4.09” before any banding from the storm itself gets here. Radar estimating 5” in parts of Brooklyn. Crazy enough on its own. 

[nycsnow]

Subway suspensions happening now and multiple road closures 

[Akeem the African Dream]

Henri looks awful 

[nycsnow]

Moving nnw can see it on radar and water vapor now 

[psv88]

Rain redeveloping in Bk, incredible rain event for the metro. I’d say congrats but nobody wants that
