Cfa Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 8.40” storm total. Radar estimate over 11”. We went from less than 3” between 8/1-8/17 to over 11” for the month so far now, more than tripling the previous amount in just a few hours. It’s a good thing this area doesn’t flood like that (I believe anyway), although I did hear fire trucks in the distance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 N Coram along Rt 112 might be the big “winners”-seeing a few 12” estimate there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 The rain stopped a few minutes ago and just like that the blue super moon is visible to the southwest. I have a standard 4" cocorahs gauge and will check it in the morning, but bkviking is about a half mile south of me and I'm sure is very close to what I will measure.

Radar estimates over 10.00” with actual measurements over 8.00” and 9.00”. Looking like more significant damage to roads and residences than 2014 due to the hilly terrain on the North Shore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 72/70 cloudy. Another humid day, shower/storms and warm mid 80s. Tue - Thu cooler (coolest since late May/early June). Ridge building east by the end of the week and this weekend. SOme onshore / weakness off the NE will keep brunt of the heat west again with strong (potential record) heat going north and staying wets of the region. Flow does come around and should get some to late season heatwave especially west of the city. Overall looking warmer to close the month. https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/SECTOR/eus/02/GOES16-EUS-02-1000x1000.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 2.88" last 24 hours and two day total of 3.01". About 2" of that 2.88" fell in about 45 min. last evening between roughly 5:00 and 5:45. Off and on heavy showers well into the evening. Got off easy around here. Got more than enough rain to soak things but not enough to cause issues. Enough is as good as a feast. Seems we are seeing much more of these Flood Emergency type events in recent years. Never remember so many. Seems at least one a year in this sub forum area over the last few years. Several this year alone. Guess it is the new normal in the warmer more moisture laden era we are in. Hope nothing tropical to cap it off over the next several weeks. Not taking bets on that though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 2 hours ago, FPizz said: .39" grand total. Perfect. I was happy to get almost an inch and a half here. A very nice soaking but missed the really big amounts that cause flooding. I thought it was important to get a good soaking since we're looking at a very long dry period after today. Storms later today look widely scattered. Nothing like yesterday but a few areas will get downpours. Then onto the long beautiful dry stretch. Looking forward to the refreshing weather the next few days. Dew points will drop to the high 40s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 8.21" here over night. 8.54" total if you include Saturday night's rain. For comparison, we had 5.53" during the August 2014 deluge and 4.20" during Ida. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one cluster just missed to my east (and for the most part your west) where Somerville and Raritan got several inches and flash floods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per news12 a house collapsed and has been condemned. Many pictures out on social media of the tremendous damage that occurred there. Apparently a levee failed in Stony Brook that contained a pond resulting in the entire contents being washed out to LI Sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
