July 2025 Discussion-OBS - seasonable summer variability
2112wxgrl replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Just want to add to the wx history for this day: “A tornado tore through Pompton Lakes on Saturday July 10, 1993. An estimated 200 trees were reportedly sucked out by their roots when a tornado passed over the Borough. The tornado came and went in less than 10 minutes and left a big mess”. -from the borough of PL FB page. I remember this day well. I was driving home from Ringwood. Almost couldn’t reach our house with trees down everywhere. Our dog was home alone during the storm and she wouldn’t leave our yard for a month afterwards. -

There’s already been power issues in Sussex county today. When the winds lick in, it could be disastrous. If outages become widespread, they will be prolonged if it becomes too dangerous for crews to work in strong winds.- 475 replies

I was a hs freshmen for that one. Other towns closed school, but not Pompton Lakes. Us students were so pissed that the seniors held a “hell no, we won’t go” protest in the halls and a freshman(not me, lol) pulled a fire alarm! That’s how desperate times were then for a snow day.

Heavier rain now, breezy. I’ll have to drain my pool once this clears. Third time in a week for draining. Looking forward to the nice dry weather coming up.

Some heavier radar returns over my part of Wantage, NJ. Nothing more than heavy rain(wouldn’t say it is a downpour). Hardly any wind either.

Nice thunderstorm in Wantage, NJ. Very gusty ahead of the rain. Plenty of cloud to ground lightning.

The CMC is the most promising for those hoping against a washout Saturday. I want the beneficial rains, just not on Saturday. But, what will be, will be.

It became a little brighter in Wantage NJ a bit ago. The regional HS closed early due to smoke inside the building. If you were alone in a hall, you could see a haze per my teen.

It was a run of the mill thunderstorm in Wantage NJ. Some downpours, a little gusty at the start with some rumbles of thunder.
