    Wind picking up big time here
  2. kat5hurricane
    From nothing to a wind driven downpour just like that

    Wind picking up and first few raindrops here in Midtown. That convection to the southwest means business. Those who were crying out bust earlier today are going to eat those words shortly.

    Same here and it's really bad in my area of Whitestone because I live right near the water so, even more bugs. I feel like I'm smacking my arm and/or legs at least a few times every time I take my dog for his late evening walk. It's the night time walks that are the worst. This year is particularly bad because of all the rain and humidity that we've had.

    There's no doubt in my mind that this is rapidly intensifying now. The improvements over the last few hours are remarkable.
  6. kat5hurricane
    Yeah, this thing is developing that classic major hurricane look. It's looking really ominous.

    I'm no expert by any means but having tracked hurricanes for many years and being fairly adept at analyzing satellite and infrared, this has the look of a storm ready to take off. It looks far better organized than it looked even a few hours ago. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd be shocked if this doesn't take a run at Cat 4 at some point before landfall.

    Honestly, it's kind of irrelevant now. What we're getting now is really bad anyway.

    Absolutely pouring here and just witnessed a few CTG lightning strikes with house shaking thunder. I gotta admit, I underestimated this aspect of the storm. It's wild out there.

    The writing was on the wall last night with the east trends and weaker storm for relatively minimal impact for most in Nassau on westward. People I know who aren't as tuned into the weather as I am are expecting an extreme storm here in Queens and western Nassau because of the Storm Surge Warning that popped up yesterday and the stores were unusually packed early this morning Better safe than sorry but they jumped the gun on this one and sent off a false alarm that this would be a serious storm in these parts. It kind of reminds me of Winter Storm Nemo when all the Blizzard Warnings went up for most of the area when it was becoming clear that it was a Central L.I. on eastward special for the extreme impacts.

    I think a Storm Surge Warning and even Tropical Storm Warning is overdoing it for Western L.I. westward based on model trends, even Central L.I. might very well escape the brunt. This seems like an Eastern L.I. and southeast New England special to me. Even the rain doesn't seem all that prolific.

    So funny. I was just thinking the same thing when I saw that post.

    While true initially, a lot of models have it hooking northwest at this latitude.
  14. kat5hurricane
    Lots of CTG lightning here and a huge clap of thunder that scared the living daylights out of my dog who looks traumatized.

    The consistency of this downpour in Manhattan is unreal, about 30 minutes straight of a complete deluge and this isn't even the main Elsa show. I'm soaked from head to toe, umbrella does little for you in rain like this.
  16. kat5hurricane
    To each their own but I wouldn't call consistent highs in the 60s to be "trapped indoors" weather and a shitty spring. It's not like it's been raining much like previous springs. Not gonna lie though, those few days when we topped 80 felt really nice.
  17. kat5hurricane
    It's like Florida today here in Midtown. Sunny then a deluge for 5 minutes then sunny again. I sort of expected something like this with the squall line flying through but this was extremes in a matter of minutes, don't see that too often.
  18. kat5hurricane
    60 in Midtown and it feels amazing. It's sad in a way because it's only the first week of March still and you know there will be some cold days ahead but once you get this first taste of spring, you want it all the time. Well, at least those of us who are normal. (Edit: A.K.A. everybody but Anthony)

    Me too, to bury winter.

    Pouring rain in Whitestone. This would have been a decent sized snowstorm had it not flipped over to rain.
  21. kat5hurricane
    Just changed to rain with a few flakes mixed in and it's raining hard. What an odd storm
  22. kat5hurricane
    Moderate snow, big flakes. Sticking everywhere now. This should be the case for you North Shore folks pretty soon.
  23. kat5hurricane
    When out for a drive thinking it'll be a rain and snow mix mainly then the snow started dumping when I hit the highway. Not sticking on the roads, thankfully.
  24. kat5hurricane
    Seems like you Long Island folks are really winning out. Nothing heavy in Whitestone, pretty steady moderate snow since the onset with an occasional heavy burst and some sleet taking over when the rates lightened.
  25. kat5hurricane
    Mostly sleet here but that seems at least partly due to lighter rates.
