NYC/CT...storms will probably make it with damaging wind by 3AM across parts of our forum... NYC area into sw CT...am pretty sure. Penty of CAPE in place. That may[ have been the difference for this past evenings 8PM storms in NYC area... CAPE wasn't already in place...was accompanying the the rain. This is the real deal, as they say. This may be last post of the night.  Walt

Great job by @wdrag on highlighting this potential. Spot on as usual. Definitely an impressive line of storms, have to see how it holds together as it approached portions of the NYC metro.

@wdrag is an outstanding contributor to an outstanding message board.

and i just saw a massive flash of lightning from that line like 60 miles away.

Good Tuesday morning everyone, 

I see the overnight band of storms faded in it's intensity before making it to NYC.  I have to think there will be a few more late reports of severe overnight around 1AM, at least per the high res velocity data I saw going thru nw NJ and Orange County NY vicinity Port Jervis ~1AM.  However, if not,  then at least we got some rain and thunder early today. 

I don't have new topic material for now. 

Today: Might be an isolated shower in nw NJ and se NYS this afternoon that tracks into CT/LI this evening but a long shot.

Wednesday:  suspect a narrow band of showers of across NJ and possibly LI early Wednesday with a very brief instability burst.

Sat 22nd-Monday 24th: looks a little more interesting, especially Sunday in NJ/LI, for thunderstorms. 

Late next week: Going to be interesting to watch tropics and northern stream interactions next week. For now, tropic moisture should be shunted east-northeast, to our south but we'll have to look for possible changes in the northern stream Great Lakes area trough. If some of that trough splits south into Tennessee (long shot right now) then we can bring up some of that tropical moisture.  For now, most 00z/18 ensemble members of the GEFS, EPS/NAEFS say it stays southeast of us guided by a coherent northern stream west to east dominant flow.  539A/18

Vivid lighting and booming thunder around 2am woke me up despite the AC and a fan running which typically drowns out all other noise, lasted 20-30 minutes, picked up .65”

Morning thoughts...

It was another cool morning in parts of the region. At New York City, the temperature fell to 63 degrees, its coolest figure since June 17 when the temperature fell to 60 degrees. At Newark, the temperature fell to 63 degrees. The last time it was at least as cool there was on June 17 when the temperature dropped to 60 degrees.

Under bright sunshine, temperatures will rebound to the lower and even middle 80s. After another short mid-week cool shot, noticeably warmer conditions will likely develop for the coming weekend.

Out west, intense heat will again topple records in parts of California, Arizona and Nevada.

Out in the eastern Atlantic, a new tropical depression could develop in coming days.

CoCoRAHS 24 hr rainfall (multi bands of showers/tstms Monday afternoon into early Tuesday morning). Note bands of 1"+.  My 0.42 is in the northern part of Sussex County but does not show since am not a CoCoRAHS observer.  This graphic gives us an idea of what happened but not necessarily a completely clear picture. Neither does this sensor-radar mix image that has been appended.   I do think we need to consider adding PWS's that have a quality assurance filter placed on them to at least the sensor-radar image.  I think they could help modify the bands.  A friend's PWS  ~ 7 miles away, had 1.68" in Frankford Township NJ (Sussex County)... as compared to my 0.42" in Wantage. Both are not well defined in the graphics. 

Finally, there was a hail report from another friend in Frankford Township, probably pea,  but we need crowd sourcing mPING back so we can get a better grip on the realities as they unfold.  Unsure when mPING returns. I do know that Frankford Township hail defined cell had a DVIL in excess of 35 and so no surprise when the hail report came through. I'm betting more unreported hail occurred in our forum area,  especially NNJ and Orange County. 1212P/18

Later update 83/59 - gorgeous day.  Looking ahead at a very nice and seasonal few days with highs in the low to perhaps mid 80s.  Heat dome lingering a few more days out west before shifting a bit east towards the Plains.   We warm things up 8/22 - 8/27 with next chance of 90s in the areas as 850 MB temps >16c and with a piece of that strong heat >18c pushing etast into the area by mid week (8/25-26) possible with storms becoming possible during the peroid..  Also need to watch topics.  Flow is flatter towards the end of next week and once we clear or get through any influence from the tropics it looks warm overall.
