A 698 day snowless streak will do that to you.

Only in Central Park.

How do people say it is over. Do they have a crystal ball, there is still 2 months left in winter.

The line went thru with blinding rain, winds strong but my highest gust was before the line passed thru. 1.80 inches of rain so far and a peak gust of 45mph. Very nasty night but not quite as bad as I thought.

How are the winds behind the line? 

They seem to die down

Past hour Farmingdale 55mph, LaGuardia 49mph and Kennedy 54 mph.

Finally hit 40, peak gust now 45mph.

Jones Beach reporting sustained at 50 and gust to 65mph

Looks like the worst of the wind may come thru around low tide on the south shore of Long Island.

Looks like winds die right down after squall line passage.

Watertown gusting to 78 at 48 degrees

I guess that makes sense if you are talking Watertown upstate NY. They would be right between the approaching low and the retreating high. Big pressure gradient.

NYC airports gusting between 40 and 45 in the past hour.

It is nasty and windy outside but not as bad as a few weeks ago. We will see what the next few hours bring.

raining hard 1.25 Peak gust 38mph

Jones Beach gusting to 55mph

My 10 minute average wind speed is highest of the night at 21mph.

1.10 inches of rain here.

Peak gust here 36mph which happened a few hours ago. 

Wind about the same here for the past few hours, gusting into the low to mid 30s. Did have some heavy rain move thru, have .76 so far.

So far .44 inch of rain and peak gust still at 36mph

Just had a gust to 36mph at my house.

I think what he is saying is his expectations for his own PWS. Being in a residential area you don’t get the same observations as you do at the airport or other official locations where the stations are unobstructed.

Correct

Jones Beach already having tropical storm conditions with sustained at 42mph and gusts to 51mph.

It would be a bust for the rest of the area. I am expecting stronger winds than that and I am well inland.

Ok you could be correct. The highest wind gust at my house was 79mph during Sandy. 

Just now, NJwx85 said:

Okay but you said max gust for your area would be 50mph with sustained in the 20's. If that verified the whole storm would be a bust.

I would never call that a bust. I am basing that on the fact that there are obstacles that slow wind speeds down as you move inland, especially at 33 feet, the height of my anemometer. The 50mph is only what I would expect, not necessarily what will ultimately happen.
