As of ~6AM Thursday October 8...remaining power outages, and a listing by OKX of wind gust reports yesterday. A chilly morning for those without power, to our north. Main impact was along the north-east edge of our forum area.

Good evening. It's 8 PM. Adding some more information. Most of our area has escaped wind advisory criteria it appears, but SVR did affect our CT portion of the forum and a small portion of the NYC forum in se NYS. SVR reports to the NWS are graphed, and added the power outages as of 8PM and finally the max gusts, past 3 hrsvfor the various thresholds. Hope this is useful. Good call on the potential nay others on the forum yesterday.

From a NWS resource on another forum: Rare October significant severe weather outbreak today 7 October. KALB airport gusted to 59 Kt and widespread tree damage, trees on cars, houses, shingles torn off, power poles down and other widespread damage. Wind gusts at some other locations 60 Kt or greater. Lots of lightning and thunder, too. Very unusual for October. Cooling aloft, steep midlevel lapse rates, small hail enhanced downdrafts where boundary layer mean winds 50 Kt or greater. Anyway, CAPEs <1000 j/kg and in many areas <500 j/kg. Lots of damage and again, unusual for October Please go to our NWS Albany Facebook and Twitter accounts for pictures and videos from our followers.

Wantage NJ .01 earlier this afternoon. MAX G 32 MPH at 520P.

Thats correct: The EC and EPS GEFS ensembles are now much more similar to each other and the NAEFS continues with rain later Sunday afternoon into Monday, possibly even Tuesday and Wednesday with additional showery bouts. Will reevaluate for a topic tomorrow morning. No doubt the EC joined NAEFS and GEFS with its 12z/7 cycle.

Will add more as soon as I find more: Here is a map of damage reports and power outages... as SPC outlined. Bad night and morning ahead for I90 as cold air arrives. Might even be a touch of snow in the Adirondacks by dawn?

I may be watching a ball game during the event and hoping anyone who see's 40kt upstream just nw of our area will post. Latest HRRR seems a little lighter but radar is fairly impressive for midday in upper NYS.

Posting the 06z/7 analysis by OPC. Note DELTA near the Yucatan. Now the 00z/27 (10 day outlook) of the GEFS members and a few down near the lower left (Yucatan). Many members with tropical too close to FL. Still this is not a bad outlook for potential. I did not include the EFS members-wasn't thinking about the EPS at that time.

Prior modeling steep lapse rates momentum transfer prompts on the forum, the wind advisory issuance by OKX for LI/se NYS/CT, the marginal risk for SVR by SPC skirting the northern fringe of the forum, all are contributing to this topic. CAA aloft steepens lapse rates this afternoon as intensifying low pressure crosses northern Maine this evening. Winds at 850 MB will be 40 to possibly 50 knot and so there is a chance to latch onto some of the 40 knot gusts. Best chance for spotty gusts 46 MPH or greater appears to be se NYS, CT, e LI. Appears to me most of the wind gusts will be 40-45 MPH but gusts 50-60 MPH are possible, especially e LI. Gust algorithms from the 00z/7 cycle EC, and SPC HREF are generally a bit weaker than the early morning HRRR, tho SPC HREF MAX gusts do offer the potential. Evaporating sewd moving showers may add to the transfer. 657A/7

Good Wednesday morning everyone, No DELTA post yet... Modeling differs quite a bit still with the EC and it's EPS unwilling to join NAEFS/GEFS. I think it will begin showering here late Saturday or definitely Sunday (FGEN with a cold front and DELTA moisture leak northeastward well ahead) with a cool rainy Monday, BUT modeling is not agreement and therefore I'm not quite willing to express enough confidence for a DELTA remnant post tropical TOPIC 2"+ rainfall, Gust 35 Knot event here late Sunday-Monday. In the meantime, I'll start a post for the wind advisory 1P-10P. Am not quite as gong ho as I'd like to be. LI-CT/SE NYS have best chance for scattered 46+ MPH gusts. I think the max G might make 60 MPH vicinity e LI but not likely. More in the topic. Thanks for the previous prompts on this topic.

Delta: On the verge of making this a topic here but want to wait 24 hours more to see if the EPS/GEFS show more se 850MB flow across LI. For now, will add a few graphics to show the likelihood of at least some needed rain here, with, on the low end probability a decent nor'easter, provided DELTA's remnant low passes across s NJ and the attempted modeling of a decent surface high to our north, occurs. Being this is 6-7 days in the future I wouldn't plan on this occurring as ensembled but low chance exists for 2+" rainfall and gale gusts LI. IF the ensembles appear more definitive Wednesday morning (00z/7 cycle), I'll get this going. NAEFS 24 hr mean qpf ending 00z, Sun, Mon, Tue, NAEFS mean pattern for 00z/Mon, NAEFS low chance of 2+ inches of rain here (~25%) between 00z/Sun-00z/Tue, NAEFS probability of 30MPH wind which is ~50% for our mariner water, a family high chance-driven by the high to the north I presume. The GEFS and EPS qpf and then you can see the last chart which is WPC's forecast, sides with the drier EPS.

fwiw on DELTA: Despite op runs of GGEM/GFS swapping path, the GFS now further N than the GGEM...the 12z/5 NAEFS is wetter... and coming fast, Sunday ish. Here's the 12z/5 NAEFS mean qpf and color coded qpf variability. If you compare to yesterdays post, it's north and offers a chance of only 0.4"+ here in the NYC forum... looking like a fast mover. It's early and if the wind doesn't play up gale gusts, and qpf is under 2", I probably won't add it as a topic, unless NYC forum members consensus thinks it worthy. Still early... 5-6 days away. Will check again Tue and Wed. Have a good night. Walt

Regarding DELTA's naming and future: No change from yesterdays post on this...NAEFS is solid on its path. Suggestions for us, that it could be a rainfall miss just to the south of the NYC forum but sooo far distant that options for a further north expansion of it's moisture are still on the table. NCAR RAL checks of last ensemble EPS/GEFS paths confirm.

No topic at this time. DELTA (??), if it forms-develops, has a chance for the central Gulf Coast, and eventually ne turn that could impact us late next weekend. We'll see if the models trend further north than this highly uncertain-low confidence northern edge grazing on the tail end of the decent CAA push of late 8th-9th.

Wantage NJ 0.11 330A-now.

ECMWF: In case you didn't see this... All the standard ECMWF web charts will become freely available on the ECMWF web site from 7th October

Wantage NJ 0.06 so far since 330A.

Yesterday, the 12z/30 UK was offshore of CC with the 10/5 coastal. Today, more models are light on qpf for Monday and less organized... and that's what I'm going with for my own expectation. Models are good at broad indications but difficult to be detailed accurate on D5. Best to blend. Am watching ICON model more closely but unless someone on this forum knows differently, it's just another consideration with no advantage beyond the GFS/EC/GGEM blend.

Good morning all, It is Oct 1... My interp of the NAEFS indicators from a week ago (Sep 23-24), were too cool here for the first week of October. Now, looks rather ordinary for the first week... near normal or at times cooler than normal. The period of the 7th-11th might be a bit more interesting pending eventual short waves diving into the Northeast-Maritimes with the associated low pressure system and subsequent cool air delivery. It's in this time frame that it might briefly turn a bit colder than the first week and a bit of snow is still indicated for the Adirondacks by GEFS/EPS ~ the 9th. . Climatologically, seems as if nothing extra-ordinary is in the offing for at least a week.

I'll use this post as my final summary for this event, possibly adding/delete maps later today based on late arriving reports. The graphic is the CoCoRAHS D1 summary. Not in there is the 4.2" amount in Mercer County (Ewing area near Trenton NJ), in the sw corner of our forum. I saw flooded road references on NBC4 ~6A this morning and am pretty sure there has to be damage reports (non-thunderstorm) that I haven't yet seen posted. No matter, this event was decent (am aware of pittance rainfall NJ coast and eastern LI) with the bulk of the forum experiencing heavy rain NJ-se NYS/w CT; or wind gusts 45-55 MPH vicinity NYC eastward. And this from only 1 storm. This link is PHI's PNS for rainfall. 1032A/30 https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?new&prod=XXXPNSPHI&wfo=phi At 1037A, add PHI tweet analysis of the PNS rainfall. I like the narrow 3-4" slots. At 350PM, added this PNS from OKX... has some pretty decent winds. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off
