I don’t ever recall seeing a special weather statement with those speeds

Showers moving at 100 mph! Is that a typo? At 1017 PM EST, Doppler radar was tracking showers along a broken line extending from Clark to Middle Island to near Guilford. Movement was east at 100 mph.

Becoming more ordinary as the years go on.

Very windy here now. Gust up to 39 so far here.

Had heavy rain (.29) with very little pea sized hail at my station in Sheepshead Bay.

OKX AFD updated at 1pm: .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Forecast continues on track, except for the NYC area where bkn mid and high level clouds ahead of the approaching front were already starting to move in, skies were mostly sunny. Temps had reached 60 in/around NYC, but dewpoints were still mostly on the low side, still in the 40s, while lower 50s dewpoints were draped across Long Island and southern NJ. This higher dewpoint air should advect northward into this afternoon and help provide instability for shower/tstms this afternoon. Disorganized line already forming across the NW NJ/E PA border where there was a lightning strike earlier. CAM's insistent on development of a convective line along the approaching cold front over Orange County southward into NJ between 17Z-18Z and sweeping E this afternoon, with only minor differences in timing, moving across NYC and the rest of the Hudson Valley between 18Z-20Z, SW CT and western Long Island 19Z-21Z, and SE CT/eastern Long Island 20Z-22Z. Fcst soundings show a low CAPE, high shear environment, with steep lapse rates due to sfc temps in the 50s to lower 60s and H5 temps as cold as -25C, also strong low level winds veering from SE to S over the lowest 1 km, with 1 km AGL winds 35-40 kt, and a push of boundary layer winds 40-45 kt right behind the line. Latest HRRR/NAM-3km have shifted the focus of potential severe wx a little farther south, so not only agree with SPC slight risk for most of CT, but think this risk will also encompass most of the CWA, except perhaps Orange and W Passaic. So all modes of svr wx are on the table, primarily wind, but marginally svr hail is also a risk given very cold H5 temps, and cannot totally rule out an isolated tornado given veering wind profiles with height, but think this risk is lowest of the three modes since 0-3km CAPE may be limited. Storms will be fast movers, so the heaviest rain producers will only have time to drop 1/4 to 1/2 inch at most.

Severe t-storm warnings with those cells in western NJ for hail up to .75 inches and winds up to 60mph. Watch just issued for most of the area:

This line should develop over western portions of New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley after midday and sweep across the rest of the area this afternoon, moving across northeastern New Jersey and the rest of the lower Hudson Valley before 2 PM. New York City and vicinity between 1 to 3 PM. Southwestern Connecticut and Western Long Island from 2 to 4 PM. Southeastern Connecticut and eastern Long Island from 3 to 5 PM. * Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, brief heavy rain of one quarter to one half inch, and small hail are possible as this line moves through. The strongest thunderstorms could produce damaging wind gusts over 60 mph and hail close to 1 inch in diameter. Some downed trees, limbs, and power lines may occur. * Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings may be a possibility for this afternoon as the situation unfolds. Keep an eye to the sky and listen to NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio and broadcast media for further details.

Nice squall line across upstate NY and trying to form in Pennsylvania as well.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 646 AM EDT SUN OCT 31 2021 ...CENTRAL PARK NEW YORK WEATHER OBSERVING STATION EARNS INTERNATIONAL HONOR FOR CENTURY OF WEATHER OBSERVATIONS... IN RECOGNITION OF ITS LONG TERM AND QUALITY CONTROLLED METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OBSERVING STATION LOCATED IN CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY, HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A CENTENNIAL OBSERVING STATION BY THE WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION (WMO). OBSERVATIONS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED AT THIS LOCATION SINCE 1868, OVER 150 YEARS. THE MORE THAN A CENTURY-LONG ACCUMULATION OF DAILY WEATHER OBSERVATIONS TAKEN AT THE CENTRAL PARK SITE IS THE CLIMATE RECORD STANDARD FOR THE CITY. FROM THE BLIZZARD OF 1888 TO THE REMNANTS OF IDA, THE STATION HAS MEASURED THE METEOROLOGICAL EXTREMES OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS OF WEATHER EVENTS IN NEW YORK CITY HISTORY. THE WEATHER MEASUREMENTS COLLECTED AT THE CENTRAL PARK STATION INCLUDE, TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, HUMIDITY, WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION, VISIBILITY AND CEILING HEIGHT. "THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RELIES ON THE WEATHER STATION IN CENTRAL PARK, NY FOR CURRENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS NEEDED FOR WEATHER FORECASTING, AND ITS LONG PERIOD OF RECORD IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR MEASURING CLIMATE VARIABILITY," SAID LOUIS W. UCCELLINI, PH.D, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE UNITED STATES PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE FOR WMO. IT IS RARE TO HAVE A WEATHER OBSERVATION SITE REMAIN ON THE SAME LAND FOR OVER 100 YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN A MAJOR CITY. CENTRAL PARK IS ONE OF ONLY EIGHT STATIONS IN THE COUNTRY, 234 IN THE WORLD, TO BE NAMED A CENTENNIAL OBSERVING STATION. OFFICIAL WEATHER OBSERVATIONS BEGAN IN NEW YORK CITY IN 1868, WHEN AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE BETWEEN THE CENTRAL PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND NEW YORK STATE TO TAKE AND RECORD METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. A FEW YEARS LATER, ADDITIONAL WEATHER OBSERVATIONS BEGAN IN THE LOWER PARTS OF MANHATTAN BY A FLEDGLING NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, ORIGINALLY THE US SIGNAL SERVICE. ON JANUARY 1, 1920, THE NATIONAL WEATHER BUREAU TOOK OVER THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS IN CENTRAL PARK, OFFICIALLY AT THE BELVEDERE CASTLE. ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER INSTRUMENTATION HAS CHANGED A BIT OVER THE YEARS, THE LOCATION IS PRECISELY THE SAME. "THESE ARE THE TYPES OF STATIONS, THE RELATIVE FEW, THAT GARNER THE MOST INTEREST AND RIGHTFULLY CLAIM THE HIGHEST VALUE," SAID TIM MORRIN, OBSERVATION PROGRAM LEADER, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE. "IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF SAVING LIVES AND PROPERTY WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS COLLECTING AND ARCHIVING THESE IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE." A VIRTUAL AWARD CEREMONY TO HONOR CENTRAL PARK AS A CENTENNIAL STATION WILL BE HELD AT 11 A.M. ON NOVEMBER 3RD. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT...TIM MORRIN, [email protected] THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK FORECAST OFFICE, LOCATED IN UPTON N.Y., IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF WEATHER DATA, FORECASTS AND WARNINGS FOR ABOUT 19 MILLION PEOPLE IN NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY (5 COUNTIES), SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK (11 COUNTIES), AND SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT (4 COUNTIES).

3.82 at my station here in Sheepshead Bay.

Up to 3.06 inches at my station so far. Still not much wind to speak of.

Barometer down to 991 at my station with a total of 2.73 inches of rain so far. Winds light with a W-SW component.

Looks like precip on radar is about to shut off or at least become very light/drizzle for nyc.

2.46 so far at my station in Sheepshead Bay.

88 degrees in Central Park on Oct 22, 1979. 80 degrees the day prior (21st) and 78 the next day (23rd).

Just had one over me here in southern Brooklyn. Don't recall seeing any mention of rain in the forecast for today. Look like lake effect or at least lake enhanced from the radar view. Edit: NWS OKX did mention it in their AFD: In addition, cyclonic to neutral flow coupled with steep low- level lapse rates and the upper trough overhead, may trigger a few showers and/or sprinkles this afternoon.

Made it down to 56 at my station.
