Storm surge watch extend from LI and Southern Westchester into Bronx and Queens.

Odds 5 boro bike tour gets canceled...

They never do for rain even torrential but never had to deal with tropical systems since its usually in May.

I did the tour in '09 during a nasty coastal storm.  It wasn't fun.  I vowed to never do it again in the rain after that.  

Looks like it's going to hit Martha's Vineyard on the Euro.

Pop up downpours here right by the Outerbridge.

it was the odd the quickness the sun came back out when heavy showers and tstorms on the radar were right in or near the city the storms just went poof..i did not expect that.. that has not been the case for the city recently

The sun was out at the tail end of the storm by me a few hours ago.  It was sunny and pouring at the same time.  

The SI mesonet picked up 1.05” in just 15 minutes.

hasn't let up in the last half hour

An absolute deluge by me right now.

I'm currently 4 miles east of there and those are some menacing skies.

Yeah, just saw a ctg lightning hit in the distance up towards the direction of Elizabeth.

"To my left"  So in other words "west".

Yeah except now I hear thunder to my right which looks to be the cell about to hit Brooklyn.

Dark clouds to my left which would be Carteret. Think something is trying to pop there.

I heard the thunder from the Monmouth one and saw the dark clouds.  Winds picked up briefly here.  

I got nicked by the bottom edge of that cell. A few cracks of thunder and a decent downpour. Drove to the Outerbridge and its bone dry with the sun shining.

Yep, full sunshine and feeling it out here now.

A view of the cell coming from CitiField.

Rain mostly stayed away from Yankee Stadium. Only a few periods of a misty drizzle while at the ballpark. Got to enjoy a nice Mets win while staying relatively dry.

How is tomorrow looking? Any chance the Yankees get their game in?

I'm in the same boat as you.  I got tickets tomorrow afternoon and have been keeping an eye on the models.  Looks like a few storms popped up near the stadium right now.  

quick little downpour just popped up over Staten Island.  

Yep, looks like relief is coming.  

Jul 14 - Jul 21 , 2013 saw 7 days of mid 90s - low 100s in the area.  That expansion saw the ridge push to 600DCM into the area.

I remember roasting at the all star game festivities at Citi Field

Getting a few drops of rain here.

I think 70 ocean temp is a stretch for early June. Wanna be done with any 50s by now, but 60s slowly climbing toward 70 is ok, with 70s thru July to the Aug peaks.

Raritan Bay was up to 65 degrees on Saturday.

We got half that on the south shore. Only .3 inches here.

Looks more like 8:00 than 4:00 in Manhattan right now.

The street lights came on my route due to the darkness. I delivered my last house and made it safely into my truck before the skies opened. We got a precip lull here but still plenty of thunder and lightning

topped out at 93 here so far.

84 and climbing here.
