  1. Good Friday morning nw suburbs! It's Nov 20 and while no big snowstorms are outlooked here through November, it's not completely devoid of snow. A brief period of little or no accumulation for the I-84 corridor is "possible" 9A-3P Sunday. There may be another period of snow I-84 northward Wednesday morning, with less than 2" high terrain accumulation possible. These are exceedingly minor events, if they were to occur but it's something that may briefly dress up the landscape, IF they were to occur. NO guarantee's. This paragraph is based on 00z/20 multi model usage, leaning on the NAM-3K, UKMET, SPC SREF plumes and nearby ECMWF hints.
  2. fwiw... past 24 hours rough idea of new snowfall. This part of Wantage NJ Trace both yesterday and this morning.
  3. Trace of snow showers here in Wantage NJ since 730A. mPing has some snow obs.
  4. One note: and this is written not knowing if a TOR survey is being conducted... but warnings are warnings--- whether they verify is another matter. Therefore, what to me is most important on TOR climo, is not the # of warnings but # of occurrences. The warning for me only means big wind is being detected with probable rotation to the surface. I didn't check but I suspect this was an updated warning (TOR) embedded in what previously had been a big lead time SVR. To me the prior SVR would be the critical notifier-headsup... take cover! EF1 (86MPH+ ) or greater is more important to me than the EF0's- from a science standpoint I understand EF0 documentation but from a lead time value added here in the northeast with many fleeting short lived EF0 signatures, the prior SVR was critical. For what it's worth, HSLC environments like yesterday's can produce embedded TOR's and was what I was hinting at in pre-event discussion of breaks in a line etc. I just didn't want to name it... modeling for the TOR I thought was minimal and mentioning TOR puts pressure on forecasters, just via ph calls. I think it gets too much attention unless it's clearly signaled via modeling, radar, debris signatures and most of all ..ground truth.. Again, this is written without knowledge if there was a tornado or not.
  5. Hi. I don't know on both, perhaps others might. Strong PPP falls and some rises behind may have caused the seiche on LErie along with strong westerly gradient. Presume you meant 1.5 ft seiche...not 15 ft tsunami-like impact. Derecho... long lived for sure, and not sure if enough 75 MPH wind gusts? Am sure others may have more info to answer. Here's some info you can do some additional research into. When i think of Derecho...I tend to think spring-summer and many 75-90 MPH gusts enroute. However, I must be corrected if am wrong. Thanks. One of the authors, is the recently passed, excellent SELS-SPC forecaster-teacher = Bob Johns.
  6. Just for the fun of it...take a look back at the Eta Remnant potential thread p2 1148AM Friday post which had the timing of the squall line. RGEM vs NAM3K. Amazing RGEM timing. This was just 8 hours before this damage thread was started Friday evening. I've been liking the RGEM lately...expresses qpf areas nicely, and timing. Might be slightly too robust on qpf amount but overall... a worthy check through the Tropical Tidbits link, or your other favorite resources.
  7. Some early 5 day summary info appended. Includes NYS mesonet and radar-sensor qpf for the entire period. (i in Wantage NJ had only .92 on the edge of the blue area in nw NJ). Added CoCoRAHS around 115PM. Initial topic 1-3" was better than the followup 2-4 iso 6 for our NYC forum. Rainy-drizzly a good part of the daylight hours Wed-Thu-Fri, then final event arrived very late in the day Sunday the 15th.
  8. Good Monday morning all, Here's a quick summary of max gusts in the OKX area, that the NWS reported. Am pretty sure there will have to be an update later today.Havez no idea if a TOR Survey is planned? Seems like 50-65 MPH was common in the more intense bands. Am heartened that the Richardson # and wind fields from the 3K NAM were valuable prevent assessments. This same 3K NAM was 2 hrs too fast with the squalli line on Friday...RGEM superior. Power outages not quite as bad LI/CT as expected. See pix for this morning. The customers out = meters. Most homes have only 1 meter. So, for total people out...safely, twice the # of meters. I'll wrap up the 5 day thread separately around 11A. Thanks for all the reports. LOCATION MAX WIND TIME/DATE COMMENTS GUST OF MPH MEASUREMENT CONNECTICUT ...Fairfield County...

  9. Did not check... but the 70 makes sense... per modeled profile. Am not surprised. Rooftop it is... which can also be tree crown top at 30-40 feet above ground level.

  12. I may not post too much anymore for tonight... i think things are on track. Keep going strong.
  13. Yes we flicker up here, but am thankful no generator power, therefore can contribute on this forum. A glimpse of a well run electric cooperative. Still with quite a few meters out... and why we were flickeking. 10% of our Sussex County Rural Electric Cooperative without power.
  14. My Wantage NJ 47 MPH fits nicely with nw NJ... 62 MPH at Mountain Creek now. Looks potent for central-eastern Li especially --possible 65 MPH +?
  15. Mount Pocono 48 kt at 726P, ~1 hr after sqline passage. That's why we have pre sqline (now), then sqline damage, then possibly a westerly gust within ~an hour after sqline passage for 40kt + winds.
  16. Power flickering here in Wantage and just had 367 meters go out just n of Sussex NJ.
  17. Quakertown PA 47 kt. Otherwise seemingly a little less than I'd like to have seen in e PA. Reports still coming in.
  18. 57 MPH at Mountain Creek ski area in nw NJ. Map attached. a number of 50 MPH on LI now via mesonet and Bluewave post.
  19. 40 KT at JFK. 43 KT at ACY and per Bluewave 44 kt RDG. A fair amount of damage reports from near HAR-RDG. Attached.
