[justinj]

Wind has definitely picked up here in the last hour

[Cheticus]

Check those downspouts and gutters!

[psv88]

Recently weve been on the dry side of all of the hurricanes, Sandy, Irene, Isaias, well went to our west...not used to all this rain...

[jm1220]

Parts of town starting to flood now from the rain. 

[bluewave]

The rainfall total since yesterday is 3.42” in Wantagh. 1.86” so far under this stalled out band.

I think we will get a break in about an hour, seeing subsidence over the sound now

Raining hard here too.  Looks like landfall was Block Island at 60 mph

Forecast for heavier rain to come later today and also tonight.

Nowcast time...

That massive area over Central CT has been moving west will start to bring in the real effects of Henri with more consistent wind gusts and heavy rain!

Haha I just saw something that about made me drop my sandwich.  A map showing 3-5 additional inches of rain for most of the tristate area with a bullseye of 5-8 inches from Queens out to most of Long Island.  I wonder what model that came from (they were showing it on TWC and it was labeled as Euro, but the Euro hasn't come out yet.)

Getting some gusts here too, with the trees bending a little I'd say they're 20-25

I use environmental indicators and the Beaufort wind scale to measure wind:

https://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/beaufort.html

 

Looks like it's a 6 on that scale, a strong breeze, about 22-27 kts.

Been a steady moderate rain here...3.25" so far.

The HRRR and NAM are showing one hell of an intense rain band forming and sitting over SE NY/ northern NJ for awhile tonight. If that’s correct you are going to have major flooding issues there

Twc is never up to date. They're probably using this morning's euro which did have a lot of rain

Looks like western half of Long Island in for lots of rain and it appears to be ending in far eastern Long Island. I now have 1.42 inches from Henri after 1.5 inches last night.

[Sn0waddict]

The rain just does not want to push into SW CT. I’m lovin it.

Radar may be indicating they could be correct.

[Northof78]

Lots of rain here, stuck in the mod/heavy rain band all day...and a good amount last night as well, thinking 4-7” is possible when all is done north of 78 in NJ

Yes sir.  We are in the crosshairs over here I think.

[guinness77]

Finally got a decent gust here. Probably about 30mph. Been very little wind here at all in W. Bab. so far.

Hey where r you located I am in Northern Westchester?

[RippleEffect]

Any flooding going on in the city? 

[crossbowftw3]

Western Sullivan County still not seeing much. Cloud deck is even raising a tad—wonder if some sun can poke up before the steadier rains finally rotate in.

12z/22 HPC HREF I80 north and to the Ct River.  Been in the model for 3 consecutive runs. LONG ways to go on this rain event.,

Nothing today. Given the flat terrain and lack of rivers that flood, NYC generally only floods with very heavy rates that produce flash flooding. Hours of light to moderate rain won't do anything. 

[bluewave]

Major flooding of homes in Brooklyn last night.

I live near by there and that flooding was crazy

I was a few miles south of there and the rainfall was easily the most intense I've ever seen. Every staircase looked like a waterfall. Out here in SI I got somewhat less rain and am closing in on 5 inches.
