80 in February, 95 in October. What is this madness? In the city, it felt almost as hot as any day this summer, in October. Crazy Tomorrow is going to be a shock to the system with the rain and 50s. First jacket day for me.

Obviously they're not out of the clear yet but this would have been a catastrophe had the ridge been stronger and sent this beast straight west into Florida (West Palm beach area). Of course The Bahamas aren't going to be so lucky.

Just about all the models are shifting closer to a near miss with the ridge breaking down sooner. Obviously plenty of time left for many scenarios to unfold and nobody in Florida should let their guard down but the trend today has been out to sea or a coastal scraper.

Very strong winds and torrential downpours in Whitestone but pedestrian thunder and lightning. Strongest winds that I've seen in a thunderstorm in a long time.

Some serious lightning and thunder in Queens. Lightning starting to become more frequent, blinding rain now too. Incredible rain now as I near Citi Field. It's like a Tropical Storm. Now it lightened up considerably just like that but that was an intense 10 minutes or so.

Huge clap of thunder here in Midtown and an insane 5 minute downpour, looked like a tropical downpour.

Insane storm in Whitestone. Tons of cloud to ground lightning, house shaking thunder, very windy and torrential rain for a good 20 minutes now. As good as it gets for a coastal thunderstorm.

Got home at 7:00 last night and it was 73, took my dog out at 7:10 with shorts and a light hoodie and it was 55. I've experienced many backdoor fronts over the years and I don't remember any temp drop that drastic that I've felt.

I don't understand how anybody loves this weather.... in April but to each their own. 60s and sunny the other day felt fantastic, it makes you feel alive. This weather just makes you tired.

Any real cool weather after March is unacceptable.

That's usually a sweet spot of the 5 boroughs in marginal situations like this.

Wow. 5" already? Congrats

Just woke up to a winter wonderland in Whitestone. It looks like a couple of inches just eyeballing from my window and coming down moderately. I do hear a little pinging but it's predominantly snow.

What? The radar looks good to.me.

I was going to say even a blind squirrel blah blah blah but broken clock works too
