Local OBS showed I reached a high of 92 with a heat index of 99, it felt like the middle of July outside. The storms approaching from PA aren't as strong as those over NY but hopefully they manage to sustain themselves by the time they reach northern NJ. In some cases PA/NY outbreaks tend to fall apart before reaching NYC, but in this case there appears to be plenty of support for these storms to reach NYC while somewhat maintaining their intensity.

The concern is the lack of shear for organization of storms...if we had 30+kts of 0-6km bulk shear I think we could be watching a huge convective system racing to the coast. It looks like it's trying to organize a cold pool...if it can do that, it will move towards the very favorable instability over our area.

i think if my storm shield continues to hold off storms where i am, im gonna put a camera in your place in jersey and stream it to my computer live so i dont have to miss the storms before they die when they get to me haha. you seem to always attract all the good weather where you are, im truly envious of your location john......storms are looking healthy again though

:weenie:

you might want to wait until the line gets closer to the area

he knows his stuff, there is a reason he would make such a definitive statement.

the wind off the water isn't going to help anything in the immmediate nyc area either.

nw jersey, mid-hudson valley should do ok

everyone else just rain and some thunder/lightning.

The wind is only off the water at the immediate coastline.We're still extremely unstable. The lack of 0-6 km shear has been noted leading to perhaps not the best storm organization but the cold pool is keeping this thing going for the time being.

Well, theres our good attempt at a cold pool. Plenty of instability. These storms should continue moving rapidly east the next 2 hours.

Outflow boundary entering Morris/Somerset Co now. Could touch off new updrafts.

Edit: seems to be doing so already directly behind it.

The outflow boundary is doing wonders now over Morris/Somerset county line from a portion of the line of storms that was previously weakened.

There's also a seabreeze boundary which has been evident on radar from Toms River northward through Kings County and just east of Staten Island into New York City and then SW CT.
