Nice update from NYC EM via X (Twitter) NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt · 22m NYC Emergency Management just wrapped a coordination call with the National Weather Service and City agencies. Here's where things stand and what's ahead. What's happened so far About half an inch to an inch of rain has fallen across the city. Gusts have reached 45 mph citywide and up to 55 mph at JFK. NYC Parks has received about 640 requests for downed or damaged trees since Friday, most in Queens and Brooklyn. Jamaica Bay reached major flood levels with this morning's high tide, and parts of Long Island Sound reached moderate flooding. What's ahead Tonight, about 8 p.m. through mid-morning Sunday: The heaviest rain arrives in bands falling at up to 1 inch per hour. Some areas could see 2 inches overnight, with localized amounts up to 3 inches. Isolated flash flooding is possible. Tonight into Sunday morning: Gusts of 45 to 55 mph continue, with an isolated gust to 60 mph possible. More downed trees and power outages are likely. Tonight's high tide: Around 8:15 to 9 p.m. on the south shore and near midnight along Long Island Sound. Moderate flooding is expected in Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways. Sunday's high tides: Around 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. on the south shore and around noon along the Sound. Moderate flooding is expected in Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways. The midday tide could bring more widespread moderate flooding to the coastal Bronx and northern Queens, including parts of Flushing and Astoria. Staten Island and Lower Manhattan should see minor flooding. Sunday afternoon: Winds drop off to gusts around 35 mph. Scattered heavy showers are possible into the evening, and showers linger into Monday. City beaches are closed to swimming and lifeguards are not on duty. Life-threatening rip currents are expected, so stay out of the water. Tonight through late Sunday morning is the worst time to travel. City crews are clearing downed trees, responding to flooding, and keeping rescue teams staged along the coast. If you live in a basement, be ready to move to a higher floor. Never walk or drive through floodwater, and stay away from downed lines. Report fallen trees to 311. Report damage to your home or business at http://reportdamage.nyc.gov. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for alerts. Basement apartment residents can sign up at http://nyc.gov/notify and select the basement apartment option to get automated phone calls during flooding.

Too bad this was wasn’t during winter; nice feeder band set up from E Mass into CT

Ummm, there’s convection firing near the center and quite a bit of lightning now.

I don't even observe much of a digging trough... This was weakly fed really. The heights just cored out from internal processes more so - though 'some 'thing of a trigger aided. But it seemed to go disproportionately deeper relative to what it started out with, after the fact, giving it an allusion of some spontaneity to it. I suggested the other day there's a transitive/non-linear forcing coming from the large scale - by definition ..that's not always exposed to convention observation techniques. Think 'rogue wave' phenomenon as an analogy. Anyway, it may be too early to claim failure on coverage. The guidance blend really has this maximizing tonight, with 988 -ish mb low approaching from the S; with 1030mb high pivoting E over top while that happens... likely lays in a pretty significant llv jet axis and given that low gets to ISP it's probably going to be pretty nasty over E CT/RI/E Mass per the course.

Only 0.20” so far, but this was never supposed to be a big rain maker back this way. I’ve set the bar at 1” for mby. We now have more night than day! 57F/DP 54F

Phillies need a rain out tonight desperately....Luzardo and Wheeler both unavailable tonight but available tomorrow. Cmon rain...never needed you so badly!!

I like a good bust as well as the next guy. But the amount of football spiking is over the top. Just beginning . The national weather service isn't backing down.

I know this isn’t going to be that exciting inland but the mehing at 17z Saturday is kind of funny. Overnight and into tomorrow AM was always going to be the worst of it up this way.

Damn cold spot in the triangle. Thats awesome

Yup, all models in very good agreement from roughly 10PM tonight in far eastern areas through 3PM tommorow in south western areas the intense rain/wind associated with the storm center, would be really awesome to see if eye structure holds as it approaches land to see if can get some great pictures

Ryan covers it, but I'll just add that the little burst of convection right at the center is interesting. This is a pretty good system with a good bit of thunderstorm activity over CT today. It'd be cool go get convection that could wrap around the center but that might be asking too much.

When does it get bad again over Queens? After sunset,? Thanks.

Very little wind and less than 0.1” rain. staying safe

Short term models continue to show from 6z-12z a period of intense rain and winds 45-60mph

Like 99% of social media folks they just love to bitch and moan with little or no basis, other than they would always do everything better than everyone else! You were spot on, as were most of the forecasts...

Got down to 43 this morning.

Highest wind gust I've seen so far along the Jersey coast is Harvey Cedars at 69 mph per NJWXNET. So far at least in my opinion things going as expected. Rainfall totals have always been the biggest wildcard with this event and at least so far they have been on the lower end of expectations I would say. Winds and coastal flooding about as expected so far but more to come. So far gusts to about 35 mph here, maybe a tad higher overnight. Rainfall so far .33". Twigs and small branches scattered across the yard. If you took away the map underlay what would you think? https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_OV/loop60v.html

I guess you are in a boring spot of this one. I’ve been getting 30-40 mph gusts for the last 24 hours here, which means it will be 60 hours total of gusts in this category before they subside. Rain has been meh.

This board never changes lol .

Strongest hurricane of the season!

This.

43 last night. Woke up with a shiver lol.

On a scale of 1-10...it has been a 0 here..
