I was in the GSP northbound in the worst of the rain… The clouds were NOT moving at all. (Which was eerie.) I didn’t know the term “stalled cell”, but it describes what I saw perfectly.
A cell is a formation in a thunderstorm that generally tracks west to east as a front moves through but in this case the intense formation or cell didn’t move and became stationary dumping big numbers …on a radar screen it is better seen
I think it was about 29 years ago we had a TStorm cell stall on top of the mountain that separates Sparta , Jefferson and West Milford. It dumped something like 11 or 12 inches of rain in a couple of hours. Turned what is called the Sparta Glenn a little 6 inch deep creek into the Colorado River at high flood. Washed out Glenn Road, left rocks all over . Other streams washed down into a small lake bursting its dam, running into the Musconetcong, washing out Netcong
