September 25, 2018 Flash Flooding

Synopsis

A couple of weak shortwaves moving through a diffluent upper flow, and an eastward moving low level jet aided in overrunning of a tropical and marginally unstable airmass over a stationary warm front draped across the region. This set-up resulted in a widespread area of moderate rain over the entire region, with a narrow and slow moving band of torrential rainfall from training showers and thunderstorms, oriented along a SW to NE convergence zone. This convergence band developed over Northeastern New Jersey late Tuesday morning, and then slowly slid east across northern portions of the NYC metro, Westchester County and into Southwestern Connecticut through afternoon. Rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches/hr were observed and radar detected; with rainfall total of up to 4 to 7 inches. This convergence band continued to move eastward across Central Long Island and Central and Eastern Connecticut Tuesday evening, while being invigorated by additional shower and thunderstorm cells advecting north from off the ocean. Rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches were observed and radar indicated across this area. Much of this rainfall fell in 3 to 4 hours.

Â Impacts

Connecticut: Widespread reports of flash flooding across all counties in Southern CT with as much as 5 to 9 inches of rainfall was measured and/or radar estimated, falling during a 3-4 hr period Tuesday afternoon into Evening. Numerous roadways were flooded in Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London counties with water reported up to rooftops in spots; including portions of major roadways such as I95 in East Norwalk, Route 207 in Lebanon, Routes 55 and 9 in Middletown, and Route 16 in Colchester. Numerous water rescues were conducted for people stuck in cars on flooded roadways, including at least 15 rescues in Bridgeport alone by local Fire Department. The heavy rainfall across the Yantic River basin, caused a rare flashy response in the river, cresting at major flood stage of around 12.53 feet at 2:47 am on 9/26. This level is considered major flooding and has not been seen on the river since March 30, 2010 when the river crested at 13.23 feet.

New Jersey: Widespread reports of flash flooding across Northeastern New Jersey between 1142 am and 615 pm, with Essex, Hudson and Bergen Counties being the most heavily impacted. As much as 4 to 6 inches of rainfall were measured and/or radar estimated, with much of it falling during a 3-4 hour period between Tuesday afternoon. The flooding closed numerous roadways with waters as deep as 3 to 4 feet in spots; including portions of major roadways, such as US 1 and US 9 and the NJ Turnpike. Numerous cars were stuck in flood waters with rescues having to be performed, including Hackensack Fire Dept. rescuing at least 18 people from flood waters in Hackensack alone.

New York: Several reports of flash flooding, as the heaviest swaths of rain with as much as 3 to 5 inches of rain falling in 2 to 3 hours, occurring across Southern Westchester, Bronx, Northern Queens, and Northwest Suffolk Counties. Several road closures were reported in these areas with waters as deep as 3 to 4 feet in spots; including Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx County, the Bronx River Parkway in Westchester County, and portions of Route 25A and 112 in Suffolk County. Significant flash flooding also occurring in Port Jefferson Village where evacuations took place from the Old Field Restuarant and Theatre 3.

River Flooding

The Yantic River at Yantic reached major flood stage early Wednesday morning September 26, and crested at 12.53 feet at 2:47 am. This is the highest level since March 30, 2010 when the Yantic crested at 13.23 feet. The 12.53 feet is also the 6th highest level of the river on record. Below is the River flood warning polygon that was issued as the river rose rapidly. More details on the river flood warnings issued for the Yantic can be found HERE.

The Saddle River at Lodi, New Jersey crested at 5.84 feet at 9:30 pm on September 25, which is just below minor flood stage. The river was forecast to go into minor flood stage, so a river flood warning was issued at 6:51 pm (warning polygon below). More details on this river flood warning for the Saddle River at Lodi can be found HERE.

The Bronx River at Bronx Botanical Gardends reached major flood stage on September 25, 2018 cresting at 4.16 feet at 9:31 pm. This river is not a River Forecast Center (RFC) forecast point, so any flooding here was handled with Flash Flood Warnings.

The Quinnipiac River above Wallingford, Connecticut reached minor flood stage on September 25, 2018 cresting at 10.09 feet at 11:15 pm. This river is not a River Forecast Center (RFC) forecast point, so any flooding here was handled with Flash Flood Warnings.

Flash Flood Warnings

A total of 21 flash lood warnings were issued during this event. This number includes those warnings that were extended in time. The preliminary average lead time was 61 minutes. Hover over each time below to see the radar at the time of warning issuance and the polygon associated with the warning. These are just for the first issuance of the warning and do not include extensions. For more complete warning information, including time extensions to these warnings, please see the link below.

Meteorology

Doppler Radar Analysis

National Weather Service Doppler KOKX Radar Animation beginning at 9:00 am Sepemtber 25 through 12:30 am September 26. The data in this animation is about every 5 to 10 minutes.

One mechanism that allowed the heavy rain to persist for a long duration was a convergence zone, which can be seen on radar data. The image on the left is reflectivity and the image on the right is velocity at 3:05 pm. There is a clear zone where winds are going away from the radar (reds) and hitting an area of winds going towards the radar (green). The convergence of these winds is helping to supply upward motion for heavy rainfall in this zone. This was a common signature throughout the event.

Looking at the radar in a vertical cross-section reveals the shallow nature of the convection. The data above is from 6:11 pm and the beginning and end of the cross section (right) is shown by the white line on the horizontal radar image (left). The freezing level is indicated by the blue line and -20Â°C is indicated by the red line. The reflectivity within this corridor was shallow with much of the highest returns below the freezing level. The environment consisted of tropical mositure with warm rain processes leading to the flooding rains. Very little reflectivity made it above -20Â°C, which in deep convection would mean much more mixed-phase precipitation processes.

Annual Recurrence Interval (ARI) Analysis for Rainfall

Below is from the NOAA ATLAS 14 showing the point precipitation frequency estimates. Durham, CT is highlighted where over 7 inches of rain fell in about 6 hours. That would make it a 1 in 1000 year event (.01 chance of occurrence in any given year). Other locations that saw 5 to 7 inches across CT would likely fall in the 1 in 500-1000 year occurrence.
