Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

Was not a big deal here, just rain, and not even downpours.

Still nothing here, 79 degrees and 80% humidity right now without a breath of air moving. Still some activity in PA, looks like most will miss me but might get a little rain.

We got .25 inches here. Looks like hainsport area and lumberton got dumped on, seeing 5+ inches.

Nothing at all here, interesting to see that Atlantic County was pretty much dry. There were a few wet spots but for the most part, that storm didn't do much for the Pines.

Either tip of cape may or some other phenomenon keep breaking up storms and sending weather north of much of south Jersey.

Close to an inch over night here. The wife says it was heavy, with a bunch of thunder and lightning.

This is the current NWS projection for Erin, which shows a less than 5% chance of winds greater than 39 mph for New Jersey

And yet, I've seen some news reports suggesting that we could have winds as high as 50 to 60 mph. I suppose it wouldn't take much of a shift in the storm track to bring us more severe results, the wind field is very close to NJ.

[edit] I see we now have a PDF briefing, hot off the presses and they are predicting some higher winds...

I can’t check my rain amount as I took the weather station down because it was hooked to my shed and I got a new shed yesterday. I have to buy a few things to reinstall the station.

We finally have the weather station back up on the new shed. It is interesting that by removing it and putting it back up, we had .6 inches of rain even though it was stored in the shed. I guess we disturbed something inside of it.
With that said, today’s rain started here at 3:36AM and we have had .12 inches so far.
