SnoSki14 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I might wager that tomorrows storms in many locations will not dump as much rain as this one just did I don't know about that, the front will slow and we'll start to get tropical moisture become involved. We are also in a slight risk for tomorrow as well so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Did anyone see wind gusts or hail? Was surprised to see warnings issued. Just goes to show storms don't have to be severe to be damn impressiveNope, very little wind. The rain and lightning were enough to make the storms quite impressive though. I saw a lot of CG strikes and there were some very close ones. Got about an inch of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkyfork Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why did these particular storms produce so much lightning? I'm familiar with lightning formation, just not what causes it in abundance like today's storms. good charge separation in the cells due to CAPE extending pretty high up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wife said , Great light show occurred in Colts Neck , Just lost power there . Yep, power just went back on here after being out for the past 2 hours. Wasn't even an impressive storm. Had less than 0.15" with a lot of lightning. Probably had a CTG strike hit a transformer or something. Looks like that SNJ line could hit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ict1523 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Must be a fairly isolated area, but there is some wind damage in central Queens. There were a couple of large branches down along the Grand Central Parkway by Jewel Ave, and I have a tree down as well as some branches on the border of Kew Gardens/Richmond Hill.

rcad1 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 We had some wind gust in western Nassau at the very beginning of the storm. They weren't severe and didn't last long but enough for a couple of branches to fall nothing crazy though. I could see how it would do damage in queens as the storm was definitely stronger when it hit there. As usual they weakened a bit as they moved east.

Weathergun Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What was the main reason of lack of wind with these storms? Lightning was incredible Weak low-level lapse rates. Especially closer to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
