Damn.....
That's not a prediction. That's estimated current rain that has fallen already.

Hurricane Helene

Looks like a bad one for Florida. On the news they were expecting 4 to 8 feet of storm surge this evening before the hurricane even gets there, then apocalyptic predictions of 20 foot surges when it arrives. Supposed to go all the way up into the mountains of North Carolina and really hammer them. Good time to be here in New Jersey.
I wonder if it will bring some rain to us in a few days? The tracks show it ending up in the midwest.

Moving pretty fast, sure looks like we will get some rain from this. Forecast currently calling for between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain tonight and the same tomorrow.

Originally, they said it was going to hook to the left, but it appears it has veered off and is hooking to the right a little bit, steering it in the direction of the east coast.
Looks like they are still predicting it to track into the midwest, but we may get some rain from the fringes.
Found this site for measuring the 24 hour rainfall totals anywhere, there is also an app. My initial testing has shown this to be accurate and could come in handy if it does prove to be accurate.

RainDrop App | Get Hyper-Local Rainfall Totals
RainDrop is the place to go for rainfall totals. Get the most accurate and up-to-date information on rainfall totals for any location across the United States.
Could be handy. But as far as I could tell, all it does is report 24 hour totals wherever you click/tap. The app screenshots didn't show any option for displaying precip totals graphically on the map, aside from the live radar overlay.
