Looks like it will be a hit or miss thing, but where it hits will be heavy. Flash flood watches are up.
RAIN?

Since Monday morning it sure has been coming down up here near Philly. Oddly enough my friend in Vineland reported that it didn't rain at all until last night. It's funny the difference 25 miles or so can make.
This is the second time this week that the weather forecast from the previous evening was starkly wrong.
What was wrong for your location? In my area I don't think there was any problem. IIRC they said a low of 75 last night with a 20% chance of rain. We had no rain last night and that low temperature was right. Today I think they forecast a high around 90 and a slight chance of rain (less than 1/10 inch). That is right on target so far at my place.
They had some rain in Little Falls. New Jeeps met their match.

Wow, that's amazing, nothing like that around me. Here's the newest 24 hour rain totals. The second image shows totals for the past week. It's amazing how much has fallen in that "bullseye" North of Toms River!
I was at Bass River SF on Monday, and it was pretty impressive. Water was pouring through waterways that usually just 'seep' or barely move. The lake spillway was all white foam at the base, and it's been mostly dry for the past couple of weeks. The trails were dry but there were clumps of stuff on them so I think they were rivers for a while.
3AM light show this morning. Continuous lightning and concussion thunder for about 45 minutes. Short power blip. Thought I was having 1966 flashbacks.
More on the way today.

Camped last night at Goshen Pond and though we could hear thunder in the distance most of the evening, we only had a few intermittent showers. Didn't stop anyone else from camping though, every single campsite was full and some drunk people showed up around 10pm who proceeded to set up camp between our campsite and the next one, without a permit or reservation (they did ask my permission first, i said sure, but warned them that the SF Police might question it). Got out just in time, the heavy rain started on our way home.
Was surprised to see we had over an inch of rain here last night, didn't hear any storms. The cooler nights are going to be great over the next few days.
We had some light thunder and lightning after midnight with rain last night. I have a huge crop of mushrooms, might try the ones the rabbits and squirrels are eating fried up with some onions. I'll check for any dead rabbits or squirrels first though.
Autumn will soon be in the air. Racoon Ridge Hawk watch has begun, Cape May starts 9/1, next Saturday.

We were driving north/west on Hampton Gate road around 9:30am sunday, must have just missed you. The weather wasn't great and the only other person we encountered was a guy in a tan colored older Toyota truck.
Another failed forecast. I had a plan today, and it was 50% chance of showers last night, so was hopeful. This morning it jumped to 60% so I bailed. Now, it is only 20%.
I left for the Pines this morning at 8:30AM, not even looking what the weather was suppose to be today. Driving out Route 38 toward Pemberton Lake, getting over to 4 Mile Rd, it looked like it was going to rain any second. The guy on the radio said rain. Well, I got home about 1:30 without any rain at all. However, it did look like it did rain earlier in the Pemberton area. But not much. I'm glad I didn't change my plans.
