Definitely more tidal flooding today than the last storm. Meadowbrook Pky, Wantagh Pky near Jones Beach under water. Parts of Howard Beach and Broad Channel under water along with a couple of blocks of Cross Bay Blvd in Queens.

Edit: Island Park LIRR station also flooded.

Winds really picking up now. No rain reaching the ground yet here despite the radar returns.

That squall line is bowing a bit in southern NJ

1.21 inches so far and coming down heavy. OKX issued a flood warning:

Gusting to 31 mph at JFK last hour

Albany GA 61 KYT, Dunkirk NY on L Erie 55 kt. 

 

Empty trailer ban on the NYS Thruway (I-90) with at least one tractor trailer blown over between exits 59-60 earlier this morning.

Almost the entire eastern U.S. east of the Mississippi is covered with some kind of precipitation, snow, rain and severe in the south. Not a very common occurrence. Gives you an idea of the dynamics/moisture with this system.

The good thing about high winds in the winter months is that most of the trees do not have leaves on them so there isn't as much resistance.

What is the timing on winds?  I'm planning on going to the Knicks game tonight and taking LIRR.

From Upton:

The High Wind Warning has been expanded to include the Bronx and Manhattan from 6 PM tonight to 6 AM tomorrow. Southeast winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 65 mph are expected inland, with 25 to 35 mph winds and gusts as high as 70 mph anticipated along the coast. The period of strongest winds will be from about 9 PM to 3 AM.

...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM TO 9 AM EST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...2 to 2 1/2 feet of inundation above ground level expected
  in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline with the
  Wednesday morning high tide.

* WHERE...Southern Queens County.

* WHEN...From 5 AM to 9 AM EST Wednesday.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of vulnerable areas
  near the waterfront and shoreline, particularly Wednesday
  morning. Expect 2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level
  in low lying, vulnerable areas. This will result in numerous
  road closures and cause widespread flooding of low lying
  property including parking lots, parks, lawns and
  homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront. Vehicles
  parked in vulnerable areas near the waterfront will likely
  become flooded. Flooding will also extend inland from the
  waterfront along tidal rivers and bays.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 ft along
  the oceanfront will result in scattered dune erosion and
  localized overwashes. Localized flooding of roadways and
  vulnerable structures behind protective dunes is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be
  between times of high tide Tuesday evening and Wednesday
  morning. The timing of an offshore windshift before the time of
  high tide Wednesday morning is expected to keep the threat for
  major flood thresholds (3 ft of inundation above ground) to be
  reached low and localized. Surge guidance trends will be monitor
  and forecast refined over the next 24 hours. In addition, heavy
  rain during the Tuesday evening high tide will likely exacerbate
  urban and poor drainage flood issues for coastal and shoreline
  roads.
