KFRG 64mph gust

Another tree just came crashing down in the woods behind us. If I’m keeping count properly, that’s three so far this evening. Hopefully any non ravenous bears lurking nearby can kindly confirm these statements.

14° in just a few minutes here too. The rain was crazy, like a bucket got dumped on us, for 2 or 3 minutes. That was fun.

Yea this is big time

Impressive 72 gust at JFK METAR KJFK 170451Z 25036G63KT 1/4SM R04R/P6000FT RA BR SQ BKN004 OVC018 08/07 A2936 RMK AO2 PK WND 22063/0444 SFC VIS 6 RAE02B35 PRESRR SLP942 P0000 T00830072 401110072

Wow, that seems sudden. Rest in peace Roger, and thank you.

I have just read some very sad news. Roger Smith, who ran the annual hurricane season forecast contests in this forum at least going back to 2016, passed away on February 24th. He put a lot of thought into these contests as he came up with very carefully thought out scoring formulas and gave regular detailed updates on the standings as well as prospects under various scenarios. The large number of contestants is all one needs to know to realize how well run these were. May Roger rest in peace. https://www.clarksfuneral.ca/obituaries/Roger-James-Smith?obId=47411042

Extremely windy

60 mph gusts here

i just saw that, wow impressive sustained too. Definitely feels like there should be a HWW up and not advisories. METAR KJFK 170451Z 25036G63KT 1/4SM R04R/P6000FT RA BR SQ BKN004 OVC018 08/07 A2936 RMK AO2 PK WND 22063/0444 SFC VIS 6 RAE02B35 PRESRR SLP942 P0000 T00830072 401110072

72 at JFK!!!

54 gust at Farmingdale now

This is very sad to read. Roger also ran annual AmericanWx hurricane season forecast contests at least going back to 2016, which is how I best knew him. He put a lot of thought into these as he came up with very carefully thought out scoring formulas and gave regular detailed updates on the standings as well as prospects under various scenarios. May Roger rest in peace.

Cranking.

Sounds like my house is about to blow away. Gotta be gusting past 50 now

Well that came through like gang busters. Dropped 16° in 15 minutes. Heavy rain and strong winds. .34" with that line. Down to 43°. Wind will cranking away

Damn this is really sad. He lived for extreme weather. He will be badly missed around here

Was just 50 degrees here hours ago. Moderate snow, sticking to everything and 30 degrees just before 1 am here in the Poconos.

that was a mistake since several Tornado Warnings were issued in the last few hours

I forgot to mention that's how it started for me too.

Many power outages in NJ PSE&G NJ Outage Map

70 mph gusts at EWR

They cancelled all of the Tornado Watches earlier this evening and since than MT. Holly has issued 6 Tornado Warnings

howling wind ..

Temps crashing behind the front. Went from 55 to 44 in about 5 minutes. Pretty impressive wind, probably helped by the squall collapsing here. Peak gust on my PWS of 48 mph and that's surrounded by trees.
