It’s coming

The old SPC WRF is signaling a good amount of 2-5km updraft helicity (rotation) crossing the area with convection between 18 and 22z which would correlate with the strongest instability.

Right on the edge here of the 5% tor threat and slight risk zones.

You can have the wind, we’ll take the tornado threat.

12z NAM with a convective damaging wind threat here tomorrow after steady rain moves out early afternoon. Not sure if we get enough clearing for Northern areas with warm front hung up around I-87.

Excited about this threat, not sure if it beats March 2010 locally. Had almost 5” of rain here and numerous gusts >50mph.

No dice here, just pedestrian moderate rain.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch just posted until 4pm.

Coming up on the 10th anniversary of my favorite March storm of all time.

lol

Had almost 5” of rain in Mahwah for the 11/2-11/3 storm.

PA tornado outbreak?

"Shaking felt thousands of miles away, devastation from Boston to DC as 8.0 magnitude Earthquake strikes along the Ramapo fault in NJ"

Is @HurricaneJosh still over in that region? If so, might as well hope over to Taiwan for the next one.

He hasn’t posted anything on Twitter or Facebook for roughly seven hours. He said he was about to lose all connectivity and he was still well outside the eyewall. Probably one of his most dangerous chases ever given the remote location and intensity.

DIX destroyed OKX this time around.

It's really annoying that KDIX is down again.

With the clocks going back this weekend we're really going to start dropping into the doldrums of late Autumn. We've been lucky that it's been a relatively dry and mild Autumn so far, however that looks to change, at least somewhat moving ahead. I'm playing golf on Saturday afternoon in an attempt to hold onto the last gasps of outdoor activities. So we're three weeks away from Thanksgiving and about 7 1/2 weeks away from Christmas, and then we start turning the corner as days begin getting longer once again. It will be a slow few weeks in January, especially if the Southeast ridge returns, which I strongly favor in my thinking. After that it's two weeks for pitchers and catchers, the Daytona 500 and away we go as the long awaited first signs of Spring begin to emerge. It's always a great feeling that first day in late March when you can open up the windows and breathe in the fresh air after being cooped up for the previous 14 weeks or so. I love snow as much as anyone, but I have no use for cold. And the older I get, the more and more I hate the Winter. I take solace in knowing that legitimate Winter in these parts is usually no more than a 12 week affair, and hopefully this year it will be even less.

Cold Winters are overrated and no guarantee for a Snowy season. How many times in recent history have we been stuck under the cold and dry PV while areas to the South and East got pounded with storm after storm? Plus who doesn't like breaking out the shorts for a few days in Mid-February? I love snow just as much as the next person, but I have no use for cold and dry.

Autumn sucks. I hope we stay in the 70's and 80's through at least the next few weeks.
