Energy rotating around an upper level low over the northeast resulted in the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms. With light steering flow, this resulted in slow moving convection and isolated flash flooding. Rainfall amounts varied significantly over small distances, with a COOP observer in Harrison reporting 2.79 inches, while nearby Newark Airport only received 0.23 inches of rain.
