The map is also off, shows me at 1-1.5” and I’m only at 0.08”. Not sure if that’s radar indicated but i’ve noticed reflectivity for the KDIX radar can be off by 5+ miles at times.As usual with mesoscale events, rainfall amounts are all over the map, from not too much (only about 1/4" in Metuchen) to 1-2" in many locations and even 2-4" in some spots. Map below is rainfall over the last 12 hours for CNJ.

That's generally correct, as per the graphic below which shows rainfall from Thursday night through Friday night. Debby has been stuck for a few days under very weak steering currents, but the approaching major trough from the NW will finally pick up Debby's remnants and accelerate them NNE on Th/Fri/Sat - and we'll finally have seasonable, comfortable summer weather starting later on Saturday for the next several days.
The colors are radar indicated, while the specific amounts are reporting stations and yes, radar can be a bit off.
...two hours after this post, I get stuck inside Home Depot in Hamilton because the water was sheeting off the roof. It was like looking through a waterfall.
yep looks like we really dodge a bullet with Debbies waste...mainly have to get through tonight and that will be the worst as long as this projected track stays on targetLatest Debby remnants track has been shifted NW of our area, meaning rainfall amounts would be significant, but likely not torrential/flooding levels on Thurs-Sat. Can live with another 1-2" whereas 3-5" on top of the 3-5" many will get today and tomorrow would mean some likely significant flooding. Hoping this track verifies.
its crazy the ranges from town to townAs usual with mesoscale events, rainfall amounts are all over the map, from not too much (only about 1/4" in Metuchen) to 1-2" in many locations and even 2-4" in some spots. Map below is rainfall over the last 12 hours for CNJ.

Yeah it came down hard about a hour ago. More coming too according to the radar
So State College is going to get the brunt of it? Now there’s something we can all agree on in a weather thread.Latest Debby remnants track has been shifted NW of our area, meaning rainfall amounts would be significant, but likely not torrential/flooding levels on Thurs-Sat. Can live with another 1-2" whereas 3-5" on top of the 3-5" many will get today and tomorrow would mean some likely significant flooding. Hoping this track verifies.
yep, almost always is in these kinds of events in the summer - if the same thing happened in the winter with snow (it can't around here, but just saying if it did), people would want to string up their forecasters, lol.
Yeah. Was supposed to meet a friend for dinner tonight who lives in Highlands, and she couldn't get out due to the flooding.
The closest thing around here would be an inverted trough like the one that hit last winter. Basically a lake effect-esque band of 12+ inches, was right under that bad boy.
It was. I've always seen the corner of 31 by Pennington Market under water but never the circle. The best is watching people trying to navigate it.
I don't despise it. I still chill in the yard after work no matter how hot it is, but it would be nice to have it be a little more comfortable when going out for a walk in the morning or just doing whatever. Fall has turned into one one of the best seasons around here with comfortable warmth extending through October.
Where have you been? There has been burning sun at times, but I’ll grant you the weather has been changeable. I don’t remember any prolonged gray stretches outside of this one.
No worries. We understand perfectly well just how little value you place on accuracy and factualness. 😉
