SeNJWx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I was out on the road in Egg Harbor and Galloway townships (Atlantic Co) right when the front with its associated storms and heavy rain hit. It was insane- between the wind and heavy rain, visibility dropped to near zero several times, with flooded roads and debris blowing all over. Within about 30 mins temps fell from the low 60s to 50, and then suddenly, as quick as the brunt of the rain came, skies cleared, and temps fell another quick 10 degrees to near 40. Its now 38.4.

Scotty Lightning Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 My brother drove from Stockton back home to Toms River and was caught up in the storms this afternoon-he stated a lot of cars kept getting pushed around because of the wind and then there was a few spinouts around mile marker 80 on the Garden State Parkway. When the storms hit we dropped 10 degrees in less than half an hour. It's 39 at MJX right now....the DP is still dropping so I still think low 20s is a safe bet for an overnight low.

I was right at Stockton too, Jimmie Leeds and Pomona Rd were both really bad... except right at the new light for Stockton, lol, the drainage system appears to work! One key to a quick drop though is calm winds, without calm winds I don't see it going that low- at least here. Tomorrow night and the next few will be a different story.

My brother goes home Pomona Rd and he left around 1:30 so he was on the Parkway as the storms hit. I did see the traffic lights though last week on the way to my grandma's house. I am thinking the winds will be a little lighter than progged tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the winds did go calm before sunrise and we dropped from 31 to 28 between 5 AM and 7 AM. Also had frost to scrape off the car windshield.

Thunder Road Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Is your anemometer high enough? maybe not. i think its like 7-8 ft. cant be more than 10ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Is your anemometer high enough? What is the correct height? I don't have one, but if I were to get one, where should I mount it? If I put it on a pole in the yard, it will be skewed by the close proximity of the houses in the neighborhood. My thought was to put it on the roof where it would get a more accurate depiction of speed and more importantly, direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 What is brewing offshore? I was surprised to see some cloudy conditions and light radar returns(probably virga) this evening. Looks like there is some kind of shortwave or large upper level low centered in the apps. It was probably forecasted by the models but FWIW. Pressure Map doesn't reveal anything.

You're right about the short wave.....as for the clouds offshore, that's just from warm water interacting with the cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there is some kind of shortwave or large upper level low centered in the apps. It was probably forecasted by the models but FWIW. Pressure Map doesn't reveal anything. There is a strong short wave moving into the East overnight.There is also a strong upper-level jet, with the main core diving into the Southeastern U.S. with a weaker segment exiting the Mid Atlantic this evening. This is helping to generate a good deal of high cloudiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought was to put it on the roof where it would get a more accurate depiction of speed and more importantly, direction. The correct height is 30 feet (10 meters). Of course, its also correct for it to be unobstructed for quite a distance around... no trees or houses, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
