From OKX AFD: While there is deep-layer shear present with strong mid-level flow, instability is generally weak and confined primarily to the mid levels. Surface-based CAPE is located mainly north and west of the NYC metro with SPC HREF max CAPE values of 500-1000 J/KG. Mean CAPE values are less than 250 J/KG. This is partly due to the frontal timing in the evening after max insolation, but also dry air in the low-levels. CAMs generally show the line dissipating this evening as it approaches the area and in some cases with no more than a spotty shower reaching the coast. So the best chance will be across the interior with chances decreasing toward the coast.

Same here

At work in Jamaica Queens also. Wife felt it in Farmingdale. Multiple calls coming in to NYPD for buildings shaking

Strongest winds of the day here now

2.87 at my station. Winds picking up.

Nice squall line developed over Long Island and entering Suffolk County now.

2.36 so far at my station

The morning KOKX AFD mentioned the possibility: Confidence in thunder is low, but with some elevated CAPE, it can not be ruled out. Some CAMs also continue to show a convective line moving through the area this afternoon into the early evening. Given the possibility of this line, strong southeast winds this afternoon and then strong northwest winds again behind this system tonight, decided to go with a Wind Advisory for the whole area. Although gusts will be marginal (mainly isolated 45 to 50 mph) soaked grounds will make it easy for trees to be downed.

Wind advisories posted area wide late tonight and tomorrow for gusts up to 55mph. In other news, I’m in Westbury LI and there is graupel falling mixed with rain. Car thermometer showing 45 degrees.

Quite foggy outside. Wonder why NWS didn’t put out a dense fog advisory for parts of the area. Or did they?

1.32 inches so far at my station here in southern Brooklyn.

Any reports from Staten Island?

8 inches at my house in Sheepshead Bay so pretty consistent along the southern areas of Brooklyn

Yes, lightly

Just measured 8 inches on the picnic table here in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. We just got into the northern fringe of that heavy band overnight.
