The wider storm

With a tropical airmass in place (precipitable water values greater than 2 inches), rainfall totals generally ranged from 2-5 inches, with this rain coming in addition to the 2-5 inches that fell during the predecessor rainfall event the night before. This resulted in widespread rainfall amounts of 3-6 inches in many locations over a 24-36 hour period. The ASOS in Central Park recorded an additional 3.39 inches of rain, for a total of 7.84 inches across the two days.
Began near Brooklyn (40.6541, -73.9624).
