Weather radar for nyc metro showing a thunder cell over edgemont nj about to cross the Hudson in to Manhattan. Rain rate exceeds our sewer capacity.
Wtf #nyc it is March
Our sewers can only take 1.75”/hr — or 44.4 mm/hr.
It’s not Thunder flood time yet.
We’ve not even begun the springtime #extremerain
Schematic diagram of the physical mechanisms for the increase in rain rate of landfalling Tropical cyclone (TC). The white spiral and yellow circle represent the simplified structure of the landfalling TC in North Hemisphere and TC’s vortex circulation, respectively. The orange vector (solid arrow) in front of the TC center indicates the moving direction (MVD) of the TC. Red curved arrows represent the vortex circulation of the TC (wind vector). Black upward arrows represent the vertical velocity of the TC. The cloud represents the asymmetric convection on the offshore side of the vortex circulation that contributes to the precipitation (white dashed lines). Blue and orange vectors represent the offshore (from land towards ocean) and onshore (from ocean towards land) flow respectively. The rainbow-colored bar, green bar, and yellow bar represent the differences in relative humidity, thermal differences, and frictional differences between the ocean and land, respectively.
[6/6] En identifiant clairement ces mécanismes, l’étude fournit des bases solides pour améliorer les modèles de prévision et la préparation aux catastrophes. Elle rappelle que les interactions terre-mer jouent un rôle central dans les risques climatiques côtiers. #geography #extremerain #cyclones

Comparison of various forecasts for rain rates 7/31/25
N Notify NYC 8:01 PM to me v Notify NYC The NYC Emergency Management Department advises New Yorkers to prepare for potential heavy rain tomorrow, Thursday, 7/31 through Friday, 8/1. The National Weather Service has forecast a total of up to 2 inches of rain per hour. Total rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches is anticipated with locally higher amounts possible. Periods of heavy rain may cause flooding in the city, including highways, streets, basements, and underpasses. During periods of heavy rain causing flooding, seek higher ground or, if in a basement, move to a higher floor. City agencies have taken action to clean catch basins and remove street litter in the event heavier rain occurs. Heavy rain may create dangerous travel
It was a scorcher today.
But tomorrow 7/31/25 is major rainfall #extremerain in #nyc in the afternoon through overnight.
The notify NYC says rain rates of up to 2”/hour. This is above the average drainage capacity of our nyc sewer system. (That means flooding.)
Be ready.

"The new study has shown that a large contrast in #soil moisture levels over a range of hundreds of kilometers results in atmospheric changes that increase rainfall area and amount in several megastorm hotspots globally. This increase ranges from 10% to 30% depending on the region and size of […]

"#ClimateChange is bringing heavier rainfall extremes and increased, inequitable flood risk to many parts of the U.S.
For every 1°F of warming, the air can hold 4% more moisture, increasing the chances of heavier downpours that contribute to #FlashFlooding hazards. " […]
