Historic Long Island Flash Flooding - August 12-13, 2014

SUMMARY: An official, New York State 24 hour precipitation record was set at Islip, NY on August 12-13, 2014 with 13.57" of rain (See Public Information Statement). This breaks the previous record of 11.6" at Tannersville, NY on August 27-28, 2011 during Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene. 1.76" of rain fell in just 15 minutes from 5:39 am to 5:54 am (See Islip, NY Rainfall Data)! An anomalously deep upper level trough was moving into the northeast the morning of August 13th, transporting deep moisture over Long Island. At the surface, a parent low pressure system was moving across southeast Canada, with secondary low development just south of New York City. Heavy precipitation focused along and just north of the warm front associated with the secondary low pressure system. The mean storm motion was parallel to the orientation of the warm front and was significant in helping maintain heavy rain over Islip, NY for several hours.

Moisture

Deep, tropical moisture was available throughout the atmosphere as the event unfolded. The 00 UTC sounding from Wallops Island, VA (KWAL) observed a precipitable water of 2.38". This high moisture content air would be transported north towards Long Island from the negatively tilted trough. The 12 UTC sounding from Upton, NY (KOKX) contained a precipitable water of 1.81". However, this may be slightly underdone due to failure of the RH sensor around 600 mb. The animation below illustrates the large area of high precipitable water along the Middle Atlantic coast that was being advected northward by the low level wind field. Deep saturation was also present in both of these soundings below the freezing level. The warm cloud layer (between cloud base and freezing level) was 13,809 ft in depth in large part due to a freezing level of 15,162 ft.

Precipitable water climatology data from Wallops Island, VA, courtesy of the Rapid City, SD NWS forecast office, illustrated the anomolous nature of the air mass that was transported towards Long Island. The 2.38" at Wallops Island was in the 99th percentile since 1963. This means 99% of the observed precipitable water values at Wallops Island have been below 2.38." The observed 1.81" precipitable water at Upton, NY was in the 75th percentile, and a little below 2 standard deviations above normal. However, this may be slighly low due to the failure of the RH sensor around 600 mb.

Exceedence Probability Analysis

The Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center (HDSC) analyzed annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) at Islip, NY. An AEP gives the probability of exceeding a given amount of rainfall at least once in any given year at a given location. The map below illustrates rainfall magnitudes with AEPs ranging from 1/10 (10%) to smaller than 1/1000 (0.1%) for the 3-hour duration of heaviest rainfall. Note the the corridor with AEPs smaller than 1/1000 where the heaviest rain indicates the true rarity of this historic event. For more information, please view the document, Exceedance Probability Analysis for the Islip, NY Rainfall Event, 13 August 2014, by the HDSC.
