  1. Past hour
  2. The way this thing is setting up it's gonna drop a lot of rain on the city to kick us off. Window-rattling thunder already on the UWS.
  3. thats the fast developing pop up storm i just mentioned
  4. Just got an emergency message (nixle) from my local municipal PD here in northern Somerset County about a tornado watch through tomorrow morning. Nothing from the NWS...I see the flash flood watch but I don't know where the reference to the tornado watch comes from...
  5. I see the flood threat but I don't see a severe threat. Think we get downgraded to slight. It's already almost noon with zero clearing to speak of.
  6. I think our window for discrete may be smaller and probably would be timed closer to when the line arrives. Probably looking at 5-7 for discrete with the line rolling through shortly after. I think the overall progression of the warm front has slowed to what it was looking like yesterday. It will be some time before we can get in some sfc instability
  7. now we are having fast developing pop up storms one right over 287 and 78 junction in nj
  8. From your N in PA. It had been years since we have had constant deep thunder like we have had all morning. Like @yoda asked I’m curious if all this here shoves south the hatch area.
  9. Light rain but crazy amounts of thunder and lightning.
  10. With that main system going northeast of the city this morning, there should be a boundary set up right across SE PA and SNJ. Actually looking like one of the better non tropical tornado threats in a while. There’s going to ample instability in place for areas that miss the rain this morning which was my main concern going in. I’m debating going out to chase later if it develops how I think.
  11. Second heavy rain meso issued by WPC Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0766 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1128 AM EDT Sat Jul 18 2026 Areas affected...portions of the coastal Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 181528Z - 182128Z Summary...A couple rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall are expected into late this afternoon. Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" are possible, which could lead to flash flooding in urban areas. Discussion...A thermal boundary extends through portions of the Mid-Atlantic States. Near the boundary, showers and thunderstorms are showing some slight backbuilding character while moving northeast into New York City. Precipitable water values are 1.4-2". MU CAPE is 500-5000 J/kg across the region, with the maximum on the Eastern Shore. Effective bulk shear is ~40 kts. One bout of heavy rainfall in the very near term is expected across southeast NY and portions of CT, while later development is expected to the southwest which should ride up the boundary back into the Tri-State area. Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" are possible either from backbuilding, cell training, or mesocyclone formation. This would be most problematic in urban areas.
  12. Picked up a little over an inch already and looks like another batch of moderate rain should be moving in from PA over the next couple of hours
  13. Good analogy....Snowfall won't prevent a cutter, but it can delay/retard the warming perhaps even trigger the development of a triple point low, while the upper levels still flood with warmth. Difference here is the lower levels are most responsive to ENSO, and it's actually the upper levels that lag.
  14. The South American weather service updated yesterday, they kept the El Niño Costero (coastal), region 1+2 warning in effect, their disco says it’s very likely that a strong El Niño Costeto goes right into April, 2027 The well coupled El Niño standing wave is sticking out like a sore thumb And the TC parade has begun in the central, western and eastern PAC, with the most activity projected in the EPAC
  15. After another round of thunderstorms overnight, another chance today with rainfall rates up to 3 inches per hour are possible.
  16. the wild card throughout the day is how the smoke will affect the daytime heating and instability - this is an odd setup
  17. Not sure which thread to put this in, but are the storms in New York all there is for today, or are those supposed to die off and we'll see more later?
  18. Flash flood threat NYC metro with this warm frontal training first round of convection. Some hail also beginning to show up. Tropical PWATS with this.

  19. If this is the appetizer, can't wait for the entree
