September 2025 OBS-Discussion centered NYC subforum
Gravity Wave replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Very impressive storm here, not much thunder and lightning but an incredible downpour. Visibility was below half a mile at the peak. -
Frequent thunder and lightning here.

Wait, you can bet on NYC snowfall? A few seasons years of putting the house on the under and I'll be able to retire.

That March--April 2018 period wasn't particularly amazing in the City proper. 3 of those storms were white rain, at least in Manhattan.

Ice storms seems to have joined Alberta Clippers as weather events that no longer seem to play a major role in our winters. I remember getting 5 inches of sleet topped with a glaze of ZR in December 2008 growing up in Allentown, less than 2 years after the epic Valentines Day ice storm in February 2007 that stranded hundreds of drivers on I-78.

The AIFS has basically been locked in since 5 days out, with just some slight NW adjustments as the storm approached. Once it starts showing a solution consistently in the mid range it seems pretty deadly.

If you don't like crowds then you can come visit in the first two weeks of January. The tree and a lot of the Christmas stuff is still up and there are far fewer people. Plus the weather is usually more wintry.

One of the all-time commuting nightmares given that the City was expected to quickly change to rain and almost no one stayed home. Sadly turned out to be the peak of that winter...

I've been smelling it for over an hour here.
-
Heavy rain and lightning in Manhattan.

The region was in the midst of a drought when Connie and Diane hit; if it happened again today it's unlikely we would have such luck.

If anything things are getting started faster than expected compared to the HRRR.

I assume that these departures are specific to the summer given how the sun roasts everything? It would be interesting to see the winter version.
-
Sun has come out ahead of the storms in Manhattan.

If it's going to be hot then let it be dry as well. I'm not trying to spend $350 cooling my apartment this month.
