HWRF has it at 948 mb on Saturday night lol.

Growing up I always thought hurricane landfalls in LI/New England were extremely rare, but history indicates it's more like we're just in an extended drought. The WAR being too overpowering for storms to make landfall north of NC makes some intuitive sense, but we've still seen plenty of classic OTS recurves over the years. I think the more likely explanation is we've just been lucky, and as with all weather luck it's guaranteed to run out sooner or later.

Judging by current trends overpopulation is going to stop being a concern for anyone outside of Africa very soon.
-
7 degree gap with KNYC.
-
Very impressive crack of thunder just now, still intermittent lightning.
-
More lightning with this storm than any other this summer for me.
-
I see some nice blocking and a PNA ridge, albeit a little too far east for our liking. Hardly a bad look.
-
2009 was my favorite summer of all time, July was perfect at least in PA.
-
Given how sticky patterns have been over the past few years I'm hopeful for some nice PNA spikes this winter.

My brother in Allentown reported heavy rain but not much else, the meso passed a little to the north of him. Meanwhile steady rain is falling here, and the low clouds overhead are heading west against the eastward motion of the storms. -
Sun breaking through here.
-
I highly doubt Newark is actually hotter than Philly, there's been some speculation that EWR is running too hot.
-
NYC is lucky Elsa ended up sliding a bit east like the CAMs suggested; otherwise it would still be pouring here. We got more than enough as it was.
-
1889 was a very wet year for many in the region.
-
Same in Manhattan. Pretty clear that the line was fluctuating considerably in intensity and passed through the central parts of NYC on a low ebb, hence the advance winds being more impressive than the main show.

Can we get a replay of this image in 6 months please? But seriously, that looks like fun.

I'm a little confused as to how we could be close to a major outage when most office buildings are still significantly underpopulated; you'd think that AC use in these buildings would be limited. When I worked in the Rockefeller Center during the July 2019 heat wave they shut down the AC and suggested that everyone leave.

My parents have friends who live near Portland; they headed out to their cabin by the coast in the SW part of the state, it's in the mid-60s there right now. Meanwhile it's 98 degrees in Astoria right now, which is absolutely incredible to anyone who's familiar with that area. Edit: And this might be the most insane reading so far:
-
Most of the southwest is utterly unfit for human habitation, let alone the massive sprawl that has sprung up around Phoenix, LV and LA in recent decades. These water crises are only going to get worse.
-
Looks more like 8:00 than 4:00 in Manhattan right now.
-
Very unpleasant day, fortunately there was a decent breeze when I stepped outside earlier. Some impressive outflow boundaries for the storms in PA.
-
Second straight summer of not having to descend into the subway inferno wearing business clothes, the one aspect of covid I'm going to miss.
-
Impressive photo looking towards the City from the Belt Parkway:
-
Some pea-sized hail on the east side of Manhattan.
