Another shortwave traversing within the NW flow aloft between the heat ridge across the central states and troughing over the North Atlantic will approach. An MCS will likely develop with this shortwave as it moves out of the Great Lakes region tonight. There is still fairly high confidence that the majority of this complex will pass well to our west across PA following the greater instability and along and west of the warm front.

However, there will also be a 30-40 kt LLJ over the northeast and New England overnight into Friday morning. Showers will increase in coverage during this time associated with the LLJ and warm advection. While the majority of the convective complex moves to the west, a weaker, more stratified eastern edge may push through NE NJ, Lower Hudson Valley and portions of the NYC metro. The combination of these features support widespread showers late tonight into Friday morning. PWATs should reach 1.75-2 inches and there will be a deep warm cloud layer of around 13 kft, supporting locally heavy rainfall potential. Low level lapse rates may be fairly steep, but surface instability will be limited by a cap/inversion around 6-8 kft. There is enough elevated instability to support some embedded thunder

Line of strong to severe storms developing over the Great Lakes. Will see what holds together and how far it makes it.

From OKX (Twitter (X) feed): 

Did you get woken up from the storms last night/early this am? Below is a summary of lightning data courtesy of @EarthNetworks  (in cloud & cloud to ground) every hour beginning 8 pm Sat & ending 9 am Sunday. About 25,000 strikes occurred during that time, 14,000 from 2 am to 9 am.

Nice hook echo on radar over sw NJ with that tornado warning 

Definitely weakening and starting to break apart a bit

70 degree dew points are back. Didn’t miss them.

High of 91 so far (now) at my station. Dew point of 75

   SUMMARY...Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are expected
   to form this afternoon and spread eastward to the Mid-Atlantic
   coast.  The storm environment supports a mix of multicell clusters
   and some supercells capable of producing damaging winds and isolated
   large hail through late evening.

   statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles west northwest
   of Bridgeport CT to 30 miles west of Patuxent River MD. For a

Strongest Ambrose Jet of the season today with gusts 35-40 mph near the shore. Plenty of rip currents and very rough surf. Blowing sand will be common also.

Pretty stiff southerly wind already at 7:30am when I got to work in Inwood on the south shore of Nassau County.

Brooklyn fire reporting numerous trees/wires down on Bay Ridge Pky near 19th-20th Aves. Said it looks like a "small tornado" touched down.

Got to 90 at 3pm at my station before the sea breeze kicked in. Down to 85 now. Temps over performed a bit?

Got .99 inches with that line at my station. Highest rain rate with it was 8.86 inches/hr.

.97 at my station here in Sheepshead Bay

Whatever storms/showers are out there look like very slow movers

79/74 here

Still raining quite heavily. Up to 2.5 inches so far here.

Storm dropped 1.45 inches of rain so far at my station. Still raining but not as intense 

Rain rate of 7.89 inches/hr. Nice storm
