  1. Past hour
  2. Wow, I am surprised it was that visible given the strong HP nature of the supercell, but if you get real close right up in the inflow notch, you can view HP tors, but it is often very risky. "Almost" a "wedge!" I say that in jest b/c many like stating a tor is a wedge even when it isn't!
  3. 1.75” After a high of 78F, temp is down to 65F. Rain is done here, but still pretty gusty.
  4. Over 1.6" of rain so far between 1745 and 1845 here and still coming down like crazy. The subway isn't handling it very well and there are suspensions due to flooding.
  5. I have to admit it's actually getting dry around here. The ponds are down and the streams are non-existent. Cut some trees from the canopy today and the tops were toast. Don't get some rain soon it will be a pretty dismal foliage year.
  6. Tornado Warning Nassau County TOR from KOKX
  7. A few photos of the line approaching. This was right about the time Dover was potentially getting rocked by a tornado. Also nudged this guy off the road.
  8. Great video, but can Timmer please stop inventing hype words for wx -- "water trumpet?" I storm chased most years 1992-2016 and know many in the storm chase community, and I have never heard a tornado or waterspout put that way. Cheesy media hype nonsense. Put a different label on something common/mundane to "sell" it more. And really, mets and wx enthusiasts can figure out easy what "water trumpet" means, but the general public? Some will go, "is that a new wx phenomena!?" And such can work it way into mainstream media. I recall on WTOP they used "rain bomb" one time to describe a tstm heavy rain event, and I cringed.
  9. Shhhh! The administration will want to throw a tariff on it.
  10. Possible gas leak in the building, there's damage all around the town of columbia. The people here are saying that they saw the tornado.
  11. Over the past hour, Central Park picked up 1.82" of rain. That is the highest hourly amount on any August 20th since hourly data was recorded. The old hourly mark was 0.63" from 1950. A slow-moving cold front will likely bring showers or thundershowers to the region into late tonight. The New York City area will see a general 2"-4" rainfall with local amounts of 5" by 8 am tomorrow. The frontal passage will be followed by a reinforcing shot of cooler air. Friday could see highs in the upper 70s with some additional showers or thundershowers. The weekend could feature cool and perhaps unsettled weather. The greatest chance for rain will be on Saturday. Somewhat cooler than normal weather will then extend into at least the middle of next week. No excessive heat appears likely through the remainder of August. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +4.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +2.7°C for the week centered around August 12. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +2.32°C. The ongoing strong El Niño, which has reached super El Niño threshold, will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -35.32 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.061 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 50% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 76.1° (near normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 0.9° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.
  12. Waterspout/tor by Jamaica bay
  13. I need to drive back to Babylon from patchogue in a bit. Sigh.
  14. Orographic precipitation in NNE has to be up there on the list, ha.
  15. two possible tornadoes near JFK
  16. 0.08 from last night and this afternoon
  17. I’ll track floods and anomalous events like that. But the 90s and 00s are gone now and Greta is ridging us to death in the summer so we accept and move on.
  18. Fortunately we have a few thousand hours before the start of met winter.
  19. Almost 2" in the last hour at cpk
  20. Couple of observations: 1.) Solid call by SPC on the tornado watch upgrade. Looks like the 18z IAD RAOB came in and they went "oh boy". 2.) Too many chuds on social media think they know better than the nerds in Oklahoma. 3.) The video coming out of Kent County, DE are impressive. Looks like a legit tornado went right by Dover Air Force Base.
  21. Wow Clouds have suddenly switched direction NNE to SSW cold front is through winds gusting out of the NNE 30-40 mph brilliant blue skies appearing almost like a tropical system is leaving.
  22. Long Beach about to get nailed. Moderate to heavy rain here.
