Around what time should we expect thunderstorms tomorrow?

From OKX discussion:

Timing of onset of convection looks to be late morning into
early afternoon for the Lower Hudson Valley, during the early
afternoon for much of the remainder of the area, with perhaps
Eastern Long Island and Southeast Connecticut not getting the
onset of convection until closer to mid afternoon (about 3PM
local time).

The convection looks to end by mid evening, about 10 PM for
Lower Hudson Valley, Northeast NJ, and NYC and closer to
midnight to 1AM farther east. Dry weather returns thereafter
into early Sunday as the cold front moves farther south of Long
Island.

Wow. You are beating me today. 89.7 here lol. A bit of a SE breeze kicked in here, knocked us down to 89.4

One of the few days I probably will.  Those winds when they pick up a tad knock the temp down only to rebound and repeat the cycle. I seem to go up to 89 and down to 88 as winds gust to 8 mph.

At my parent’s house, Muttontown, it hit 90.1 so far.  Definitely need to set up the new VP2 I have for here as the fan in the FARS is making noise plus my anemometer is shot. 

89.8 (90) so far in Syosset. 

81.7 currently, topped out at 87.5 (88) earlier.  DP is a nice sticky 70 with a HI of 86.

Despite the clouds temps near or in the low 80s as of 9AM, high launching ground. With any prolonged clearing and subsequent sun, temps will exceed forecast.

ISP: 82
JFK: 82
EWR: 82
TEB: 81
LGA: 81
ACY: 79
NYC: 79
New Brnswick: 79
PHL: 78
BLM: 77
TTN: 77

If winds go East, as forecasted, coastal locations won’t exceed.  We’ll see when the wind shift occurs.

Power crews and tree crews making slow progress still. On my way out of my hood this morning:

 

Just imagine if a hurricane hit the island. Amazing how long it takes utility crews to get a localized area back up and running after a tstorm.  Question whether anything was learned from Sandy.

Then you remember to add the lightning protection and pretty soon you need an electrician. Roof tripods are not that simple.

Yep, I did all that.  It won’t stop lightning but it’ll stop insurance company from saying it wasn’t grounded.  Worth the $$$$.

Also, you cant take WU wind meters for shit. I have a Davis but the anenometer is 2 m off the ground and surrounded by trees and a fence. 

You need to move it to the roof and have it on tripod post. I should give you crap for your anemometer not being sited correctly

@psv88what were the winds on your weather station when this hit?  Looks like some nice straight line winds from storm of around 50-60 mph based on your videos.

My little storm chaser waiting for storms that once again missed us.

Core hit us. Lost two trees. Insane. Still blowing 

Ouch. Hope the trees didn’t hit any property and you have power. Radar looked intense for Commack as that line went over. 

Stuff over the sound in CT looks like it’s heading to Pt Jeff on east if it survives the sound. 

Looks like storms passing east of the N Shore of Nassau, as Suffolk gets hammered. Sunny and 83 here. 

One final shot of the N edge of storms. Syosset had a 2 minute light shower and that was it, just a trace for the day.

Guarantee that tomorrow, when I’m hosting 15 people, we’ll get the rains lol

Murphy’s law for sure. Tomorrow is colder aloft so if any storms do pop the hail chance should be higher. 

Another shot of the storms passing to the S from Woodbury. 

Hold in effect. No more landings.

When you look up and see a widebody is on final approach to Islip, you know something bad is happening in the JFK area!

They are still looping up by me for final approach before landing, trying to get them in before storms put a hold on them.  

I’ve got incoming storms from my west.

I finished with a high of 90.6 (91) for today.  Waiting to see what storms we get along the N Shore here, if any.

Upton botched highs today. Forecast was for 85-86, most areas 90-92. Played catch up until temps were above 90 lol

Isn’t that their MO always?  They had yesterday for my point and click with a high of 84. Ended up with 89.

@psv88you have any towering cumulus to your S from seabreeze front?  I have these off to my S getting taller. 

Just remote started my car. Man is it cooking inside in the sun, yikes!

92/69/99. 

You'll be happy, I hit 90.1 so far.  With winds more SW & W today I finally cracked 90!

87.7/74 with 96 heat index, yuck!
