fwiw: a week ago originally anticipated weekend of 19-20 Tropical infusion, apparently delayed and may still miss to our south... but fwiw... here the EPS modeling from 00z/16. Doesn't mean this clustering will be correct. Worthy of monitoring. Otherwise if we miss this, we might be seeing it a little on the drier side the next couple of weeks??

Good Wednesday morning everyone, The Sunday-Tuesday totals were less than anticipated w NJ, and LI didn't do well. Radar seemed to have spotty higher AMT in NYS-CT but not seen in CoCoRAHS, with a max only 2.4" in NJ. Yesterdays anticipated cold core thunder-small hail did not materialize in our area, as far as I can tell.

Disappointing overnight most of forum ne PA, NW NJ, interior se NYS, bit it's lighting up bit now near NYC. I like the SVR outlook posted above from SPC and despite poor performance overnight in the WAA down our way, still believe widespread 1/4" iso 3+ b y 10P Tues with small hailers Tue afternoon in some spots. Have a day.
-
Wantage NJ (this part of extreme nw NJ) .01 of widespread 1/4 to as much as spotty 3.0" in the parts of the NYC forum by 10PM Tuesday. Batch one now in nw NJ, suspect 1-2 batches tonight, possibly 1 leftover batch Monday morning,?and probably 1 more band Monday evening-night and with the cold low aloft, more scattered showers/tstms in lower 1" PWAT with small hailers possible Tue afternoon and Wed afternoon. Good for parts of the area. Been sprinkling here at times since just before 9A this morning then it picked up around 11A. Probably ready to click .02 by 1145A. Edited 423P: SPC expanded Marginal risk into NYC in their D2 afternoon update. Looks to me like a few svr will occur e PA/NJ and possibly into NYC late Mon afternoon-evening.
-
Rainfall yesterday, and this week ending ~8A Sat June 12. Not good LI but the rest of the area, got some decent amounts, especially NJ, ne PA and even spotty in se NYS,sw CT
-
Review time: Despite only light amounts of showers expected in parts of our area between now and midday Saturday ( models were too far north a week ago on what will happen south of I78 today), we still did okay., Here's some amounts (3 day)---except e LI. Also the weekend of the 19th-20th seems to be favoring a dying tropical intrusion up this way. No details yet and no topic since it's so far all in a seemingly normal less than 3" range for an event.
-
No topics but fwiw... noted on what I call modest svr wx events of late May/early June. Heavy showers/thunderstorms seem in store for parts of NJ/se NYS maybe NYC 4-10P Monday (PW 1.5") , possibly something predawn Tue, then it should light up 1130A-130P Tuesday. PW up to 1.8" Tuesday. . Modeling after Tue suggests more Wed, and possibly FRI? This will probably further assist alleviating dryness in parts of our area, presuming 1-5" rain occurs in parts of the subforum by sunrise Saturday the 12th. Could be iso svr via wet microburst potential Tuesday but winds aloft are fairly weak with TT marginal ~47-48. I did note the tropical rains trying to involve the northeast around 280-340 hours (~19th), and a couple of cycles of this. We'll see if this can hold as we close in on D7 (144 hrs) - not worth losing sleep over.
-
After the rains of the 26th-30th, I think the Drought monitor will ease a bit toward normal, plus more rain coming Thu-Fri, it's all helping. So %'s of normal via HPRCC for the past week, month and 6 months are appended. Place not to be is near the Canadian border, if you want water. SVR Thu-Fri: I think the morning is just gully washers where it does rain, no svr; Late Thu-Thu eve...decent wind fields, TT near 50 NYS... and so SPC slight risk looks fine, but am not planning to highlight a topic... as per the recent event that stopped at the NJ coast and also traveled n of POU-DXR. Fri: Less wind aloft but seems pretty unstable and might be a small svr producer? As for heat: NAEFS suggests ridge aloft may minimize the cool downs (850 not as cool) slated for week 3?
-
It's 6 days off... we know intermittent action late Wed-Fri. After that? Modeling still has some troubles D5 and beyond on timing. Terrible miss for this past Sunday as late as Tuesday 's modeling, tho we probably all knew Sunday might not be a decent day due to trough aloft. Took a while for modeling to coalesce on the Sunday event. It was ~ 12z/26 when modeling drifted toward the second event, originally heralded by the GGEM Not sure if anyone checks the GGEM... need that on board with the EC/GFS to be personally assured of an event. Drought monitor will probably adjust next issuance. HPRCC may have some updated #s this afternoon or Tuesday. What happened this weekend was overall for the betterment of our lives, as dismal as it was. Am confident next weekend won't repeat that cold.Later, Walt
-
Not pretending to know the influences, but per NAEFS, and general pattern... looks like potential for more than the normal 90+ for the NYC metro area in June, beginning after June 5. June CP norms 90 or greater from what I see, (3) and max 90 or greater (11). So I could easily be wrong and seeing too warm. Also if needed correct me on CP stats, thanks! Plenty more rain for parts of the subforum Wed-weekend, then turn on the bigger warmth.
-
CoCoRAHS Sunday amounts, entire event amounts (late Fri-Sun -iso max around 4.5", and late Wed -Sunday dual event totals (ISO Max a little over 6" Ocean County NJ and around 4.5" CT/LI). Please see maps for your area of interest.
-
2.55 Wantage NJ. Will post CoCo RAHS event totals and totals since late Wed, sometime between 10A-3P. Max event so far 4.41 Ocean County and max since late Wed 5.96 Ocean County. Early in the Monday morning reporting cycle.
-
Some numbers: the top 2 are the current ongoing event (coCoRaHs) that began late Friday May 28, and the bottom are the CoCoRahs totals since late Wednesday the 26th. Seems like spotty 6-7" totals likely coastal NJ by Noon Monday, and I think still a chance of spotty 6" LI. This part of Wantage only 2.10 this two day event and and 2.24 since late Wed, small by comparison elsewhere.
-
I didn’t check. Few near 49 MPH NJ coast and 40-45 LI. Looking impressive to me fir large scale bands of heavy rain eastern USA next Two weeks. Focus of course near stalled boundaries. Maybe New England and upper NYS miss out after Monday morning but otherwise lots of pwat and persistent Bermuda high seems to me to be setting up. Summer
-
Where rainfall was documented only via CoCoRahs since late Wed the26th through daybreak Sat the 29th.

1.87 this part of Wantage NJ. Seeing new 12z 3K NAM, checking EC and HRRR PW and probable nwd moving low to w LI Sunday, won't surprise at iso 5-6" by Monday morning LI/CT. PWAT increases tomorrow in a developing southerly 850 jet, and TT increase to 50. Some of the guidance has small hail ALY CWA. So Sunday will see, I think, bigger totals in some spots of LI/CT than the amts recorded already. We definitely need the water. Have attached amounts that begin with the showers/storms late Wednesday the 26th through around 8AM today... several 4+ coastal Nj and I think anywhere 2.5 of greater has a chance to ~6" by Monday morning. Unless someone wants the topic, I'll leave it be... but LI/CT/coastal NJ... looking very good for at least isolated 2-3.5" additional Noon today-6A Monday, most of it Sunday, raising isolated totals to ~6". Later, Walt cant upload attachments for some reason: 1141A/wd

Good Saturday morning everyone, Judging from the mesonet reports etc, I suspect a few spots in our NYC forum will reach~ 4" by Monday morning. Cold and nasty but needed. For the record books here and there but main impact no picnics/beaches/causal walks. Also was aware of the severe wx threat a few days ago but somehow just wasn't too alarmed. Saw the reports in NJ/se NYS/n CT. Saving the topic posts for big flooding, more widespread SVR wind where concentrated BIUG damage or most involved. Seems like the forum is going well as is. Looking forward to the transition to 90+ heat and 70+ dew points sometime after June 6 through at least part of the second week of June. I see CPC likes it pretty warm week 3-4 and NAEFS has been bullish on the heat coming in June. This rain is making more surface moisture available for the Bermuda High to work with come June 6 onward.
-
Wantage 0.32 since 6A... (.01 6A-7A), then the bulk from ~930A onward. EC was steady on this and some of the NAM/ SPC HREF/GGEM had it too but not much after 2P and variable inconsistency, so much so that I was getting depressed about not having significant rain today after seeing some of the 12z and 18z/7 guidance. Turns out that guidance available leading up to 20z/Wed May 5 and resultant cancel decisionfor an important outdoor project today, worked out. Was sweating it last night. mPing showing many hail reports NNJ-PA/MD after 230PM.
-
No thread yet for the coastal Friday but GEFS seems to be leading the way as the EPS is trending south. No agreement yet between various ops and so holding for another day or two but this apparently is going to be a somewhat interesting first 15 days of May. Had a pollen-backdoor cool front go through here in the past 90 minutes. Waves of pollen in the northeast flow here recently. Backdoor is/was on the EWR TDWR.

More data to show timing, max G, in our forum.

So, as noted in a 'please verify' post earlier this page, 00z-06z/1 ensemble modeling is trending toward a sharpening digging trough here that may yield a sizable winterlike storm Friday the 7th, with 40-50kt wind gusts (coasts), heavy rain (coasts) and maybe a little wet snow elevations. Still plenty of room to miss us to the east, or be weaker than a 985MB sfc low but worthy of monitoring. Possibly threading this, Sunday or Monday? Need NAVGEM and GGEM to shift back to the west, the EC op to accept the occasional GFS cycle operational big storm concept for our NYC metro. Again, not threaded yet due too much chance of this storm slipping too far to our east-northeast.

Good Saturday morning. I'm awaiting some final reports. Max wind gusts appeared for the most part prior to 8PM tho there was a second surge during the night with MPO, and our home in Wantage (among possibly others) maxing out between midnight and 4A today. I didn't check ACARS soundings from yesterday, so am unsure why it seemed to me the wind overpreformed a bit during Friday afternoon but have seen this before, where the sounding lapse rate transfer finds more wind that wasn't obviously modeled. Probably some unknowns (to me) going on with transfer. In any case, NAM/GFS/EC modeling I think had a good handle on general areas of concern NYC west. I was disappointed in the RGEM/GGEM runup to this event. Next up: see May thread.
