Slight chance of severe weather later this afternoon/evening. Per NWS OKX: Attention then turns to the approaching cold front this afternoon into this evening and an associated line of showers and thunderstorms. High resolution models are in reasonable agreement with a broken line of showers and storms crossing the area between approximately 3pm and 8pm. Some of these storms could be strong to severe, with the best chances for any stronger storms across the Lower Hudson Valley, northeast New Jersey, and into southwest Connecticut, where warmer surface temperatures will help maximize instability. Damaging wind gusts are the greatest threat in any stronger storms that are able to develop, although an isolated tornado isn`t entirely out of the question. Showers and storms should decrease in intensity as they approach the coast this evening and encounter more stable marine air.

Heavy rain, some thunder and lightning and gusty winds here in Sheepshead Bay

37 degrees at 6 am. Was supposed to be 32-33 for overnight low.

Wind gusted to 31 mph and temp up to 57 at noon at my station in Sheepshead Bay. Barometer 28.83.

51 at my station in Sheepshead Bay with a southeast wind.

Sun peeking out here at work just east of JFK airport.

Lowest barometric pressure I can find is 28.88 at several locations in NJ.

NYC/Nassau and as mentioned above all of coastal NJ upgraded to high wind warnings.

Upton just upgraded Suffolk County to a High Wind Warning. Also changed the wording in the Wind Advisory area for gusts up to 55 mph with isolated gusts up to 60 mph for NYC metro and coast.

Wind advisories up for basically the entire area tomorrow afternoon. From OKX late afternoon AFD: With the low rapidly deepening as it moves away, quick pressure rises with the onset of cold air advection will produce gusty conditions in the afternoon and evening with gusts continuing well into the night. The strongest gusts will be in the afternoon and early evening when modeled 850mb winds range mostly 45-65 kt. Will issue a wind advisory for all zones 18z-00z. Gusts up to around 50 mph are anticipated. Even some coastal areas may reach advisory criteria based on sustained winds of 30 mph.

Some mangled flakes mixed with the rain here in southern Brooklyn as well. Temp 37 degrees.

At the high for the day now at my station on a gusty nw wind...68 degrees.

Made it up to 63 here before the clouds came in.
