We had rains approaching biblical proportions here on Sunday. My home weather station was reporting instantaneous rainfall rates of 4+ inches per hour at times. My storm total was 3.5" of rain on the tipping bucket and 3.9" of rain on the haptic sensor, and the airport across town reported 5+ inches. (Rain gauges have accuracy problems in heavy downpours.)
Many major roads are still closed on the southeast side of the county due to significant damage, including
Storm King Highway (cliff road used in TV commercials), the
Palisades Interstate Parkway, and roads around the USMA at West Point and Bear Mountain. Commuter rail on the other shore of the Hudson River is suspended due to track washouts.
Yesterday was sunny/humid and slightly below average, with some pop-up thunderstorms. Today is sunny/warm/dry, but we'll be back to hot with dank humidity by tomorrow.....
