  1. This is incredibly heavy rain and it's been going on for a while now too. Looking at the radar it's like there was some convergence between the outflow ahead of the line and the outflow from the storms to the north, and the first cell popped over Middlesex. Now the rest of the line is consolidating with it. It's very dark outside, fairly gusty, but wow the rain is nuts. Major street flooding.
  2. Saw a few pieces of hail up to nickel size. Based on the sirens I'm assuming some of those bolts found a target. Might've gotten a few on video.
  3. Maybe every 2ish seconds. Someone's boat is getting serious rain. Edit: this thing is lighting up. Wow!
  4. Looking WSW from Piscataway some cloud is throwing regular lightning every 5ish seconds. Must be tiny because I hardly see anything on radar but it's there.
  5. Where you at? I live in the Pleasantview Gardens apartments off Carlton Avenue. We must be close.
  6. F me ignore this just fireworks at 11 PM on a Sunday. I've heard three times as many fireworks this summer as I have any other summer.
  7. Piscataway, I am hearing thunder from somewhere north and west.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Shouldn't there be a 2 PM update out? I thought the NHC was doing 3-hour updates.
  12. @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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. thread theme song. where's my TWC local on the 8s crew at.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I don't even know how that's possible if you're in Branchburg. Like dodging a nuclear explosion.
  19. Man you know the s*** is going down when the advisory map looks like a delicious bowl of sherbert.
  20. lol I am at work in NBR is it seriously dry in Piscataway? NBR is getting pasted. Is training the right word? Trains move.
  21. Wow that's a great view. And then I assume the outflow stops the convergence and chokes the storm out?
