Mt. Holly has a forecast rain band pivot for the CWA overnight and into tomorrow morning, so it's possible, if it verifies, that anyone who missed out the first round, might cash in on a 2nd round (including what looks like a convective line tomorrow morning) -

 

We shall see. The Reading Rain Shield is holding the line at the moment.

That thing looks like the machine from Willy Wonka that made the Everlasting Gobstopper. I though it would be a little more precise and technical. Oh well, over and done with...

When I got my Ambient weather station, I had been reading all sorts of discussions on how people calibrate all sorts of rain gauges and saw pics of those ASOS rain gauges.  I think the point of the slats is as a baffle around the funnel to minimize ground level winds and droplet bounce, since the rain can get blown around that could miss the gauge and give readings that are too low.  There's a cool little video explanation of it (using NWS's DFW ASOS as an example) -

THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC STATES THROUGH MONDAY...


SUMMARY OF 800 PM EDT...0000 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...41.7N 72.8W
ABOUT 10 MI...15 KM SW OF HARTFORD CONNECTICUT
ABOUT 90 MI...140 KM NE OF NEW YORK CITY
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...35 MPH...55 KM/H

MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1000 MB...29.53 INCHES


WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Henri 
was located by surface observations near latitude 41.7 North, 
longitude 72.8 West.  Henri is moving toward the west-northwest near 
7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion with a decrease in forward 
speed is expected through early Monday morning.  A slow turn toward 
the north is expected Monday morning, followed by a motion toward 
the east-northeast Monday afternoon. On the forecast track, Henri is 
expected to slow down further and possibly stall near the 
Connecticut-New York border tonight, then move across northern 
Connecticut or southern Massachusetts by Monday afternoon.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next
couple of days.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface
observations is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Henri can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3, WMO header WTNT43 KNHC
and on the web at
www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?key_messages.

RAINFALL:  Henri is expected to produce storm total rainfall of 3 to
6 inches with locally higher amounts expected over portions of Long
Island, New England, southeast New York, New Jersey, and northeast
Pennsylvania Sunday into Monday. Isolated maximum totals of 10 to 12
inches are possible across northern New Jersey into southern New
York. Heavy rainfall from Henri will continue to result in
considerable flash, urban, and small stream flooding, along with the
potential for additional minor to isolated moderate river flooding.

Henri at the following link:

SURF:  Swells are expected to continue across much of the east
coast of the U.S. and Atlantic Canada tonight and continue into
Monday.  These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.

Man that N NJ region is going have some prolific flooding.

Starting to think Poconos will be prolific as well. It will be interesting to see how far south the precip shield gets tonight. Looks like it has made it just south of i78 and i81.

If I’m looking at things correctly Henri is a bit off track looks further west-southwest and getting shoved southwest towards NE Pa 

Rain shield seems to be finally crashing south. The Reading Rain Shield can only hold for so long! Wait, that sounds weird. Eh, whatever.

I think some of the models earlier in the week suggested that it would drift to the west and get cut off from any steering mechanisms (basically sitting and raining all over the place), to the point where a couple mets were even comparing it to what Hurricane Harvey did (down in Texas).  It would supposedly eventually get picked up  by something and sent east again across NE, and out to sea.  Some of the models even had it do a loop-de-loop that took it down into NE PA, and then had it head back up to the northeast, and finally go east out to sea.

The behavior we are seeing probably had the most uncertainty with the forecasting because it was dependent on features to the north and the ULL that is south of where we are, that would be determinants on its movements.

Rain started back up again about an hour ago, nothing heavy, just steady. .1" so far tonight. Wondering if some of those heavy echoes currently in Lehigh valley and Poconos will rotate down this way overnight. They look to be getting slammed though, some places with already 4-5"+ and no sign of letting up either. I think chances of some river flooding, albeit minor, have definitely increased. That's a pretty large area seeing 2-5"+ of rain in a pretty short period of time. Pretty much the entire length of the Delaware river in pa/NJ down to the tidal region is over 2" of rain and at least another inch+ still to go.
