Will - Rutgers

Piscataway, I am hearing thunder from somewhere north and west.

Impressive cell over me in Piscataway, might've gusted to 50 at one point. The rain is heavier now than probably any point yesterday. Ponding all over the place, we might be at 0.75"? Few CTC rumblers too.

Ya'll got the drought-breaker

If I had a choice where my taxes went I'd give 100% to the National Weather Service. If I had Elon Musk bucks I'd be building all kinds of radars and satellites to make GOES-16 look like a Tinker Toy. You'd be counting how many birds were trapped in Fay's circulation. You'd be able to identify them by specie. shit I wish I was rich.

Reflective question for you gents, not attempting some slight at anyone. How long ago was it we (myself included) were bitching about drought, contemplating pattern changes, etc. How long ago was Fay on the radar? MAYBE a week? Probably at most 4 days ago. I am remembering today the next time and every time we talk about the inevitability of next week's weather.

Shouldn't there be a 2 PM update out? I thought the NHC was doing 3-hour updates.

@winterwx21 @Stormlover74 guess we aren't getting missed today boys lmao Getting straight pasted. Typical ebb and flow tropical storming. When it kicks up it's fairly impressive.

Honestly I don't have the empirical evidence at hand, I assumed peak Gulf Stream temps were reached August/September. That being said, it's still a climatological anomaly. Whether because of temperatures or typical seasonal weather patterns that allow for it to happen.

I would like to note, as a born weenie, that the NHC gives JFK a 1% chance of seeing 1-minute sustained hurricane-force winds. I live in hope that the endless insanity that is 2020 gives us a landfalling NJ hurricane in July. Go ahead, give me the weenie reaction, your jeers mean nothing to me. Your weenies sustain me. ...wait let me say that a different way.

thread theme song. where's my TWC local on the 8s crew at.

this line is crawling through NJ. looks like it'll be a solid hour of heavy rain unless for some reason it dies out. by the way, put yourselves on sunset watch again tonight. could be a good one behind these storms.

@wdrag is an MVP.

No no I know, but I always took it to mean a progression of cells that run over the same place. Not one cell that just sits and sits.

I don't even know how that's possible if you're in Branchburg. Like dodging a nuclear explosion.

Man you know the s*** is going down when the advisory map looks like a delicious bowl of sherbert.

lol I am at work in NBR is it seriously dry in Piscataway? NBR is getting pasted. Is training the right word? Trains move.

Echoes clipping 65 dBz in EPA.

Wow that's a great view. And then I assume the outflow stops the convergence and chokes the storm out?

Some big CTG bolts dropping no more than 1,000 feet away. Major rainmaker, plenty of lightning, not much wind and no hail.

Came in just to say that. Never seen outflow so pronounced.

The first cell is popping up over the Philadelphia area.

Welcome to summer am I right? I did get a nice sunset. As a comment: big summer storms are like a good dinner to me. You get the appetizer, the anticipation, big heat and humidity, you watch it roll in, outflow breeze revves up, maybe you get a nice shelf cloud. Bam, it hits, big rain, wind, thunder and lightning, hail if you're lucky. It rolls out, you're absorbing everything that happened, and just as you do, a big beautiful sunset appears. Dessert! God we are so lucky to be weather enthusiasts. Here's today's dessert straight from Piscataway. Camera phone can't ever do it justice but it was good for a summer sunset.

lol it's amazing, I've been on this forum with you for a few years, I thought your weather was my weather, and I completely missed this. f'n Piscataway man lol. anyway great video.

i can assure you it's because i live in Piscataway too once i move you're gonna get hammered by rain so often you'll need to replace the veggie garden with a rice paddy

what an amazing jackpot, congratulations. any street flooding?
