Storms popping over coastal southern NJ and inland over Morris/Passaic. Also Orange, Dutchess and Putnam counties upstate.

Southern half of Nassau getting or about to get into the heavy rain now.

Up to 1.84 inches at my station in Sheepshead Bay so far. Edit: up to 2.25 inches now with 1.57 of that coming in the past hour.

Southern end of the line in eastern Middlesex looks like it has some rotation on radar

Eastern Middlesex and at least the southwest portion of Staten Island look like they are going to get another batch of heavy rain now.

Flash flood warnings extended until 9:15 for parts of Union, Hudson, Staten Island and Brooklyn

More storms popping over northern Middlesex county and moving northeast

Flash flood watches hoisted for western NJ through Thu morning.

Radar shows showers/storms blossoming over NJ PA and north of NYC. Heating effect from the land playing a part.

Only .25 at my station here in Sheepshead Bay.

From NWS Twitter account: We reviewed pictures and video from New York Harbor, and determined there was a funnel cloud. From the videos we saw, there was no apparent sign of the circulation touching the water.

Was driving by JFK along Rockaway Boulevard at that time. Windshield had some very small drops of drizzle and had to use the wipers a few times. Streets never got wet and then it stopped.

Interesting read about all those record high temperatures in the L.A. area this weekend. Seems like some of the same issues locally. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/07/08/the-all-time-record-high-temperatures-for-los-angeles-are-the-result-of-a-faulty-weather-stations-and-should-be-disqualified/

JFK tied their record low of 59.

Skies a nice deep blue. Haze from the last few days seems to be gone. Still a DP of 75 though.

Several downed tree reports in Essex and Bergen counties.

OKX 1:49pm updated AFD: NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... H5 was at 596 dam per the 12z okx sounding, so a hot airmass in place. 16z laps has 3500 cape across nern NJ with cin there now erased. This trend will continue across all but the shore in the next few hours. The first place tstms should develop would be across NJ where stlt shows building towers. Shear is extremely weak so multicellular mode is expected. Dcape is up to 850 and will rise to abv 1000 per the 12z NAM. Pops have been increased across the area and expanded ewd. Strong winds and hvy rain have also been included in the fcst, with the hwo and ehwo updated. Slow storm motion of 5kt or less will enhance the flood risk. Pw on the 12z sounding was 1.52 which correlated nicely with the NAM.The NAM however models pw to increase to over 2.5 across wrn portions of the cwa over the next few hours.

Storm not moving very much. Flooding a concern.

78/74 imby. I start to sweat just by breathing if I’m outside lol

Bernie Rayno says to follow the upper low (just north of it's track) for the snow. Will make its own cold air. Has the northern half of PA, southern NYS and northern half of NJ, NYC and western L.I. for a changeover to snow.

...Or the once an hour (during the daytime hours-report was usually repeated for a couple of hours before it would be updated 2 or 3 times a day) for a live Accuweather report on 1010 WINS when Dr. Joe Sobel or Eliot Abrams or JB would come on the air.

Bernie Rayno said upcoming pattern looks like the first couple of weeks in Feb will be cold and stormy in the east. Not too enthusiastic about Mon-Tue. Says that may give eastern New England a few inches of snow. He said pattern looks like it wants to form a storm and move it up along the eastern seaboard in the next week Friday time frame. We shall see.

Jeff Smith from Channel 7 in NYC (AccuWeather outlet) just updated snowfall amounts

Bernie Rayno (used the word epic) heading in to work to make a video. Says no reason not to go with the 12z European. Also said to expect at least some mixing into I-95. "Tremendous" snow just west of 95

Well Bernie Rayno just tweeted he thinks there will be some mixing up to I-95 with the storm. Maybe he (and AccuWeather) are factoring that in to accumulations?
