Yay we might actually get a storm out of all this heat

5pm Obs from Jersey City,NJ: 99/75/112

98/77/113 here.

98 for the max here in Jersey City. 91/77 currently with a heat index of 104... Outside drinking a beer. We dew it

I can see the clouds from the small cell in NW Jersey ...giving me hope that we might see some rain...even though it will probably fizzle lol..

Even the heat is getting to the good folks over at Upton: " .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Forecast area will remain at the southern edge of the westerlies with broad upper ridging across the southern half of the country merging with the subtropical high over the western Atlantic. Anomalously warm heights aloft, deep westerly flow, and high boundary layer moisture (high humidity) will result in dangerous heat indices through early this evening. Even overnight, the urban corridor and coastal sections will see dewpoints in the mid 80s to around 90. While there will be some relief overnight, it will remain a hazard for living premises that are not ventilated well or do not have AC.

What I would give to be in Green Bay right about now. What a beaut.

Glad you're safe Forky. I can confirm, heaviest rain I've seen in a long, long time. Maybe the heaviest I've ever seen. Literally sheets during the peak, along with the strong burst of winds , looked like a bonafide tropical storm out there. Never really got to experience "true" TS or Hurricane conditions...what I mean by that...During Irene we got the heavy rains but winds were meh... Sandy we got the winds but couldn't get the substantial rain.

Very interested to see how those storms down by the DelMarva area hold up as that will be our chance at svr. Regardless, heavy rain is a certainty.

Nice rain event here. Avoided flash flooding but had occasional hvy rains. Lightning was great around 8:00pm. Areas around Monmouth must've had a great CTG show.

I think it weakens. But that is a ton of rain over PA. Hopefully we don't get into that because it would be flash flooding. It's only moving around 20 mph. Defitnitly. Many times I've seen quite an expansive precipitation shield in PA shrivel into a pixel as soon as it crosses the border into NJ

Hm. We MCS? @NycStormChaser @Rtd208

It happens. It's just that people have easy access to share that information these days.

That wasn't five feet of hail. From the video I saw , flash flooding caused hail to pile up in certain spots. Still though a crazy amount of hail did fall.

Um. There was some sketchy looking lowering of the clouds going on here in Jersey City about 5 minutes ago. Checking the TDWR radar out of Newark, maybe some broad rotation? Don't know but it definitely looked sketchy.

Northwest of Philly under the gun now. Serious rainfall rates.

at the 6z FV3 from this morning. Such trash

Great storm. This is my kind of summer. Heavy rain. Gusted to about 30 mph. Didn't think there was much lightning but CTG is crazy now as their hitting the island. @NycStormChaser I know you must be getting some great shots.

If that strong velocity maintains, lookout Coney Island and surrounding.

I'm seeing a few flashes but not much. They're packing a nice wind punch though if they don't weaken.

Some pockets of strong winds within the line. Be wary if you're outdoors. That storm in Monmouth co. especially.

End of the 6z GFS run is fun to look at...phases a coastal storm with some energy diving SE from Canada right off the NJ coast...loop de loops and drops 6"+ of rain over the area...lol

What about the line of storms that came through on June 1, 2006? They moved in from the NW from Upstate NY. Still remains as the most prolific lightning storms Ive ever witnessed. Continuous non-stop lightning.

Tornado Warning on that cell now. Do I see my very first Tor warning? Time will tell!

Theres rotation headed right in your general direction
