    I hate this crap, it's like "FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR YOUR AREA" except the AREA is 25 miles away.

    We're well on the periphery of this.

    I don't really blame the people managing this, I know enough about weather to know I'm not in danger.  It's basically for people who decide to go out driving, at least for my area.  For these storms I'm not even sure we're getting rain.

    I have been under the FFW for over an hour now.  Reports of many local roads under water and impassable.

    With all this warmth, let's go back 31 years ago to October 4th, 1987

    Huge snowstorm north and NE of NYC

    NW Jersey and Northern  Westchester had 3 inches while further North way over a foot.

    I remember just 30 to 40 miles up the thruway from NYC it was snowing as I was in it. WCBS AM also reported a sleet pellet in Hicksville NY

    What a storm

    I actually drove up north from LI that morning to see where the accumulations were.  I believe it was a Saturday morning.  There was a coating on grassy surfaces from about central Westchester on north however it was just cloudy.  I drove up I-684 to I-84 going west to see how accumulations were in the high country to the west of Brewster.  Once I started going up that grade accumulations started to increase rapidly.  I don’t think I got as far as Stormville before being forced to turn around due to heavy snow.  At that point there was at least 6” on the ground. It was a classic early season elevation event.

    I agree verbatim it’s a big erosion mess. We are way way out though. As others have said and using the don Sutherland rule chances are high it’s out to sea. 

    One thing that’s always missed is a fish storm is not a fish storm. All we have to do is get Florence to about 30/50 and it will send large long period swells. That’s almost certain now and days on end of big surf kills people every September. Life guards go off duty and the waters are warm. People think they can handle it  and get stuck in a rip current. At Jones beach we are open with life guards for another 2 weeks. At most beaches life guards are finished for the season.

    Strongly agree.

    That solution would be a disaster for Long Island and our area and a major disaster for the Cape. mid Atlantic would not get it as bad! Stop putting misinformation. Big snowstorm potential for upstate New York and Vermont if that solution verifies!

    Long Island is part of the mid-Atlantic.  Count how many tidal cycles take place while it lingers off shore - that is what leads to tidal flooding.  Misinformation- I don’t think so.

    The rainfall maps for this system are crazy. 8+ inches in one area, barely an inch a few miles to the south. This is central PA but it's the same thing in this area.

    There are big time orographic influences that have factored in to those totals.  That part of central PA is rugged and mountainous.

    I’ve been on the edge of the sea breeze front all day. It will pour for 20 mins and 20 mins later the sun is out in full. I’ve lost track of how many downpours I’ve had today. 

    Sea breeze front can make for some real interesting weather out there.  Way back in 1978 when I lived in East Northport a sea breeze front thunderstorm turned violent and produced marble sized hail and numerous CTG lightning strikes along with strong winds.  It was one of the very few times I saw hail when I lived out that way.

    There is a history of these convergence zones setting up west to east across LI.  There was one a couple of years ago that dumped up to several inches of rain across NW Suffolk Cty.
