Thunderstorms starting here

 

Torrential downpours

 

Yeah some of the models have not been to stellar lately. Some areas are going to pick up quite a bit of rain today. 

Agreed about the models. I'm sure south east PA and south jersey will also do well today with storms. They have been very active the past few weeks.

 

I think Vermont - New Hampshire - Maine does well tomorrow with the severe threat. Not ruling it out for our area but it certainly looks more impressive for them. 

Flash flood warning issued for Central New Jersey. A TVS also is showing up on radar.

Let's see if this storm can make it to the city.

The SPC added a slight risk for New England on their latest update.

last Saturday featured a strong cold pool aloft...this week has none of that....

Tomorrow will have cooling aloft just like last sunday across Long Island. 

Marginal risk introduced for our area in the SPC day 2 outlook.

May be similar to last Sunday

I found this spreadsheet. Every single tornado between 1950 and 2017 across the united states. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/wcm/data/1950-2017_all_tornadoes.csv

I found it on this page https://www.spc.noaa.gov/wcm/#data

 

so according to the data, the first reported Tornado in NYC is 1985? So no tornadoes were ever reported in NYC prior to 1985? I find that hard to believe. 

I will do some more research tonight but I believe there were more. Pre 1985 it may have just not been reported. That's what happening with the whole tornado alley moving east thing. There's always been tornadoes but more people are out there spotting and chasing so they can confirm visually.

I'm away from my computer until later this evening but if you go to the Upton nws website there is a database. You input the date range and you should find what you are looking for. If not, I can help later tonight.

Much of my immediate neighborhood still has no power and some roads are still blocked off. I drove to the Walt Whitman mall today and back and there was almost no damage west of exit 42 on the NSP. Saw some damage just east of the mall but mainly small branches etc. Commack is still a war zone. I’m still convinced we gusted to around 70

I really think it was a microburst that affected both commack and huntington. 

A few more photos from yesterdays adventure out east

 

This person losing their life could have been avoided. The beach I was on a bit east of here made everyone get out of the water. 

 

^^^^ wow that is absolutely gorgeous 

I swear it was close to putting down a waterspout but I wasn't far enough east to stay drive so I went back to my car

Severe storms moving off the south shore of Long Island earlier today.

Damn. Crazy. Anyone have a loop of it rolling through? I missed it. Only saw the radar as it moved offshore. 

Here you go

Sounds like a microburst

Severe storm an hour ago in Suffolk.

Quick cell phone timelapse from Shinnecock 

 

Heading out to the twin forks. Hoping for some thunderstorms. If not I will photograph the Milky Way after sunset

Amazing that Manhattan missed out entirely. Nice storm here at Jones beach

They got in on the first severe warned cell earlier.

All in staten island.
