Strong Nor'Easter/Hybrid Storm Late September 2026
GaWx replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
Thanks. Glad it wasn’t that bad there then. Between Fri and Sun, the delays at LGA were shortest on Sat due largely to the normal fewer scheduled flights that day allowing for them to handle the use of just one runway. But today’s avg delay is still getting longer with the arrival delay averaging 2 hrs, 19 min, at last report though that’s still not as bad as the ~2 hrs, 45 min of late Fri. The departure delays are averaging just over an hour: Due to WEATHER / WIND, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving La Guardia Airport, New York, NY (LGA). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 2 hours and 19 minutes. To see if you may be affected, select your departure airport and check "Delays by Destination". Delays by Destination: Due to WEATHER / WIND, departure traffic destined to La Guardia Airport, New York, NY (LGA) is currently experiencing delays averaging 2 hours and 19 minutes. General Departure Delays: Due to WX:Wind, traffic is experiencing Gate Hold and Taxi delays between 1 hour and 1 minute and 1 hour and 15 minutes in length and increasing. -

Is the long length of it noteworthy in relation to others? Isn’t this going to end up as a 48++ hour event in many locations? -

Since May 23rd, I count only 5 days in either the MC or the IO and that rarity in those regions looks to continue at least through Oct 11th. That would most likely mean as of Oct 11th only 5 of the prior 142 days (3.5%) in MC/IO, easily a record low % for that long of a period since records started 6/1/1974: -

Thanks. But tomorrow is a busier day from the afternoon onward than Saturday I believe. Do you think he’s referring only to his airline when he said no cancellations? -

Thanks. Does that mean tomorrow PM could return to big delays at LGA like yesterday? I’m asking because my nephew has a 4PM flight leaving from there. -

LaGuardia for now is doing much better than 24 hours ago, when avg delays were nearly 3 hrs, as the avg delay now is <15 minutes. JFK avg delay is 50 minutes. -

Thanks. Ulster’s now at 17k out of ~100k customers vs Suffolk being at 10k with >6 times the # of customers! Ulster has almost half the outages in the entire state. https://poweroutage.us/area/county/833 -

Kind of odd: Ulster Cty now has highest # and % of outages in NY with 11k/11%. Is this accurate? Neighboring counties are much lower. Suffolk is at 9k/1.4%. https://poweroutage.us/area/county/833 -

Delays are currently much shorter on avg vs last evening at LaGuardia, when they were nearing 3 hrs…maybe then will turn out to be the worst of it?? LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is currently reporting normal operations with general departure and arrival delays of 15 minutes or less, according to the FAA Airspace System Status. Arrival Delays: Airborne delays are 15 minutes or less. Departure Delays: Gate hold and taxi delays are lasting 15 minutes or less. Weather/Status: Previous weather-related ground delays from earlier in the weekend have cleared, and current FAA status shows normal conditions. -

Suffolk is still by far leading the outages in the area with 10K although that’s still not too bad on a % basis (1.6%). Nassau has 5.5K/1.2%. Total in NY state: 23K NJ: 31K with highest # in Ocean Cty at 8K (2.5%) although highest % in NW NJ’s Warren Cty (5.4%) CT: 14K with highest % of 4% in E CT -

Thank you! I had a brain malfunction! I edited my original post to point to the error and correction of dates. I apologize for my mistake. The new map for Oct 5-11 has a slightly stronger cold signal than yesterday’s: H5: @mitchnick -

I’m not saying the Euro is necessarily going to be right. But I’m passing this along because it’s objectively determined and easily available to the wx community. So fwiw: The new Euro ensemble (12Z) maintains the 90-100% chance that the 0Z and 6Z had for a tropical storm to form from this: The run from just 24 hrs earlier for the same period had only just over 70% for the chance: -
