A strong and slow-moving coastal storm produced widespread heavy rain and strong gusty winds throughout much of northern New Jersey from Wednesday March 21st through Thursday March 22nd. A tight pressure gradient between the intensifying low pressure system off the mid Atlantic coast and a strong high pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes produced wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph from Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday morning. These strong wind gusts, combined with the nearly saturated ground conditions from heavy rainfall, triggered numerous fallen trees to occur throughout northern New Jersey. Some of these trees fell onto power lines, leading to several power outages.  In addition to the strong gusty winds, heavy rainfall also occurred during this storm. This heavy rain, combined with rapid snow melt from a significant pre-existing snow pack, created localized small stream and urban flooding across northern New Jersey. One to two inches of rain were common with this storm, with some localized amounts approaching three inches.Here are some storm total rainfall amounts:For Bergen County: 1.35 inches at Midland Park, to 2.34 inches at Teterboro Airport.For Essex County: 1.76 inches at Canoe Brook, to 2.48 inches at Verona.For Hudson County: 1.21 inches at Harrison.For Passaic County: 0.92 inches at West Milford, to 2.32 inches at West Paterson.

A strong and slow-moving coastal storm produced widespread heavy rain and strong gusty winds throughout southeast New York from Wednesday March 21st through Thursday March 22nd. A tight pressure gradient between the intensifying low pressure system off the mid Atlantic coast and a strong high pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes produced wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph from Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday morning. These strong wind gusts caused several buildings in Manhattan to lose scaffolding and broke some windows. On Long Island and other portions of southeast New York, strong winds combined with nearly saturated ground from heavy rainfall, caused trees to fall onto power lines, and resulted in scattered power outages.  In addition to the strong gusty winds, heavy rainfall also occurred during this storm. Across the lower Hudson Valley, one to two inches of rain were common. Two to three inches of rain were common with this storm across New York City and Long Island, with some localized amounts reaching 4 inches. This triggered urban flooding in several areas, and created hazardous driving conditions for the Wednesday evening commute and the Thursday morning commute across the New York City metropolitan area.Here are some storm total rainfall amounts:For New York County (Manhattan): 2.31 inches at Central Park.For Queens County: 1.91 inches at La Guardia Airport, to 2.25 inches at John F. Kennedy International Airport.For Kings County (Brooklyn): 4.16 inches at Gravesend.For Richmond County (Staten Island): 3 inches at Annadale.For Nassau County: 1.48 inches at Hicksville, to 2.65 inches at Lido Beach.For Suffolk County: 2.02 inches at St. James, to 3.08 inches at Upton.

A low pressure system moved northeast along the mid Atlantic coast and produced widespread heavy rain across northern New Jersey beginning late Thursday night March 29th and ending by Friday evening March 30th. The low developed over the southeast states Thursday afternoon, and moved northeast to a position near Washington D.C. by early Friday morning. The low then continued moving northeast, passing across eastern Long Island early Friday afternoon, and off the New England coast by late Friday night. Strong "overrunning" of warm, moist air over a pre-existing colder airmass, combined with a strong easterly wind flow of moisture-laden air off the Atlantic Ocean, produced very heavy rainfall across northern New Jersey during the daytime hours on Friday. One to two inches of rain were common across much of northern New Jersey, with some localized amounts of between two and three inches. This created widespread urban and highway flooding during the Friday morning commute, which continued into the early afternoon hours. The rain finally tapered to showers later Friday afternoon, and ended by Friday night as the low departed off the New England coast. In Bergen County, several sewer caps were reportedly blown out due to the excessive rainfall, and several roads were impassable due to the flooding. Here are some storm total rainfall amounts:For Bergen County: 1.60 inches at Fair Lawn, to 2.01 inches at Teterboro Airport.For Hudson County: 2.76 inches at Harrison.For Union County: 2.53 inches at Elizabeth.For Essex County: 1.88 inches at Newark International Airport to 1.98 inches at Caldwell.

A low pressure system moved northeast along the mid Atlantic coast and produced widespread heavy rain across southern Connecticut during Friday March 30th. The low developed over the southeast states Thursday afternoon, and moved northeast to a position near Washington D.C. by early Friday morning. The low then continued moving northeast, passing across eastern Long Island early Friday afternoon, and off the New England coast by late Friday night. Strong "overrunning" of warm, moist air over a pre-existing colder airmass, combined with a strong easterly wind flow of moisture-laden air off the Atlantic Ocean, produced very heavy rainfall across southern Connecticut during the daytime hours on Friday. The axis of heaviest rain extended northeast across southeast Connecticut, particularly across New London County, where up to 4 inches of rain occurred. This created widespread urban and highway flooding during the Friday morning commute, which continued into the early afternoon hours. The Yantic River briefly rose to 9.1 feet at Norwich around 7pm EST, which was only 0.1 feet above its flood stage. The rain finally tapered to showers later Friday afternoon, and ended by Friday night as the low departed off the New England coast.Here are some storm total rainfall amounts:For Fairfield County: 1.92 inches at Danbury, to 2.18 inches at Bridgeport.For New Haven County: 1.54 inches at New Haven, to 1.61 inches at North Cheshire.For New London County: 2.78 inches at Groton, to 3.25 inches at Voluntown.
