OT: Hurricane Isaias: heavy rain, high winds, and flooding in SC/NC/VA/MD/DE/PA/NJ/NY/New England
- Thread starter RU848789
- Start date
Speaking of MVC. I went to the Rio Grande station to get my car inspected. No exaggeration, I was in and out in about 60 seconds. What are they even checking for these days? Can we just get rid of the entire inspection thing? Seems like a big waste of money that serves no purpose.
No, Tornado Watch for all of NJ
A warning on Cape May county as radar indicated rotation in the ocean heading towards Sea Isle City
Yup
When a WARNING is issued. Either a funnel cloud is spotted or rotation is seen on the radar
That is correct. Don't see this very often. Doesn't mean we'll have more than a handful of actual tornadoes, but it means conditions make it possible for a small tornado to hit almost anywhere without much warning.

Had a similar experience at Rahway inspection station, in and out. To add to it, I was getting my old beater of less than a mile drive to the train station commuter car inspected, it rattles, sputters from the exhaust, everything, and it passed with flying colors. Rubber stamp approvals at their finest.
Yeah I know that, just wasn't paying attention to the letters after the "W"
So, yeah, the rainfall forecast clearly shifted well west this morning while I got some sleep, lol. Flooding rains only look to be a major issue NW of 95 and especially west of the Delaware in SNJ and for Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex in NJ and west of there. Same thing in NY, i.e., west of the Hudson Valley. The big risks now for most of our are will be isolated tornadoes, with a watch up all day, and high winds with gusts to 60 mph for most and up to 70 mph near and along the coast (timing is about 11 am to 3 pm in CNJ; ongoing in SNJ and an hour or two later in NNJ). If curious, the track has actually shifted about 20 miles west since last night, which is a big part of the reason for much less forecast rain for the coast (<1") and even through the 95 corridor (only 1-2" - we've had 1/2" in Metuchen so far).
Tropical Storm Isaias Update
Heavy rain and gusty winds resulting from Tropical Storm Isaias are forecast for Tuesday. A Tropical Storm Warning, a Flash Flood Watch, and a Tornado Watch are posted statewide Tuesday. Minor coastal flooding is possible Tuesday afternoon and evening. Flash flood warnings and tornado warnings will be posted throughout the day as needed. Winds may gust 40 to 70 mph or higher. Rainfall of 1” to 4” or more is possible.
Impacts to New Jersey
Heavy rainfall may result in localized flooding in urban areas, low-lying places, locations with poor drainage, roadways, waterways, and where rainfall is heaviest. Coastal areas may experience inundation at times of high tide. High winds and gusts may cause power outages and tree damage. Monitor local weather forecasts today for updates and for current tornado and flood warnings.

If that pans out, we're pretty lucky. I'll never forget all the rain with Irene and two big nor'easters in 2007 and 2010.
Yes, with regard to heavy rains, but winds are seriously picking up in SNJ and are about to get pretty bad up here soon. The graphic below is for the Edison area, with the worst winds from about 1 pm to 4 pm.
Yes, Irene was a bad one . I had about a half foot of water in my basement to prove it !
Irene gets lost in the shuffle because sandy hit 15 months later .
Yeah in the last 10 mins the winds in Sayreville (not far from you) have picked up.Yes, with regard to heavy rains, but winds are seriously picking up in SNJ and are about to get pretty bad up here soon. The graphic below is for the Edison area, with the worst winds from about 1 pm to 4 pm.
I got a lot of water with all that I mentioned. Got battery back up for the sump pump since that time. I would have been fine with Irene had I had that.
We are about 2 miles from where Cantore was standing last night. Eye wall passed just West of us...
I can report that the winds on the east/southeast side of the storm were WAAAY worse than the front (North) end.
Surprisingly little rain (though heavy at times) - but pretty windy. My Rainbird showed sustained around 60 and gusts to about 90.
Not too much damage over all - but sure did lose some trees and lampposts.
by 2:45am... it was all over and quiet as can be...
I'm in PA Montgomery county, near Lansdale/West Point and we are drowning. Local roads were already flooded this morning with storm drain backups and retention pond overflows. Low winds thus far just a steady heavy straight downpour. Been in my house 5yrs and basement wet first time.
Sorry to hear that. Hope it doesn't flood more
You guys got all of the rain, storm moved West

I am in Chester county(west Chester area), and it has been pouring here since about 8am(and maybe some overnight). Big rivers of water flowing down the yard. Retention basin behind us is up to the overflow.
Pouring sheets of rain in Mt. Olive right now. Lights starting to flicker a we bit.
