Looks like some action starting to develop across central PA

The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of our region in a Marginal Risk for Severe weather today. The main threat with any thunderstorms will be strong winds and heavy rainfall. Expect the best timing for storms to be this afternoon and early this evening.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1220 PM CDT Wed Jun 02 2021 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe storms are possible over a portion of the Middle Atlantic Thursday with locally strong to damaging gusts the primary threat. Other strong to severe storms with locally strong to damaging wind gusts will be possible over a portion of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys as well as eastern Oregon. ...Synopsis... A shortwave trough will move from portions of the Mid-South into the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday. A weak frontal boundary will push through the Ohio Valley into the Appalachians. Ahead of the boundary, moisture return is expected to continue through the day into the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast. In the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies, a shortwave trough will impact the region by late afternoon into the evening. ...Mid-Atlantic... Widely-scattered to scattered convection is expected to develop both ahead of the weak boundary and within areas of pre-frontal confluence from northern Virginia into southeastern New York. There remain uncertainties as to where the greatest boundary layer destabilization will occur given cloud cover within the warm conveyor belt as well as warm advection precipitation in North Carolina/southern Virginia. Forecast soundings indicate a greater potential for cloud breaks from northern Virginia into southeastern New York. This area will also see a modest increase in 850 mb flow by afternoon/evening which will increase the threat for damaging gusts and perhaps an isolated tornado. Father north into eastern New York/Vermont, there is less certainty on the degree of destabilization, but relatively strong mid-level forcing should promote scattered storms with some attendant threat for wind damage. Mid-level lapse rates will not be overly steep, but where greater buoyancy develops isolated large hail will be possible.

Finished up with 2.71 inches total rainfall at my station in Sheepshead Bay for the weekend event.

Looks like most of the rain to our south on radar will stay over the ocean. Long Island should get hit with more rain than areas west of there.

1.44 at my station so far. More on the doorstep moving up from the southwest.

Tide up over Brookville Blvd behind JFK as usual with these persistent easterly fetch situations. PD shut down that stretch of Brookville Blvd. At least one car stuck in the water.

Sea breeze extending pretty far inland in NJ on radar. Wonder if this will enhance the storms as they head east through NJ

Nice line of storms forming in central PA with more rain behind that

68/53 at my station today.

Warned storms for Monmouth and Ocean counties in NJ and heading northeast.

Nice little squall line making it's way through central PA on radar.

From OKX morning AFD: .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... The cold front will move east of the region on Friday with a tight pressure gradient developing. Gusty conditions on Friday can be expected with gusts reaching 40-50 mph by Friday afternoon into the first part of Friday night. A few isolated peak gusts to 60 mph can not be ruled out. With peak foliage occurring across parts of our region would expect to see some tree damage with this event. At this time, we do not think wide spread wind gusts will reach high wind warning criteria, however it is likely wind advisories will be issued later today for the entire region.

58 for the high at my station in Sheepshead Bay with the SE/ESE wind and late sun.

Pea sized hail just east of JFK airport in Inwood Nassau County

.72 inches of rain so far at my station in Sheepshead Bay.

Only 0.22 of rain at my station so far today.

10% and DP of 10 at my station in Sheepshead Bay

Lightning and a long roll of thunder just now here in the Sheepshead Bay are.

The part of the line that came through Brooklyn weakened. Some heavy rain. Wind gust to 20 mph.

Newark gusted to 51 mph

Radar indicating winds 60-70 mph over southwest Staten Island

McGuire Air Force base gusted to 70 mph with that line
