Another intense Great Lakes storm late Friday 1/12 with the brunt of 1" rain/shore gusts ~50 MPH Friday night, followed by widespread west gusts 40- possibly 50 MPH late Sat-Sun 1/13-14/2024. This serves as the OBS thread late Fri onward.

lol, you start throwing around terms like “snow” and “accumulation” and this storm is getting completely ignored.

Beautiful out with full sun here.  Temp mid 40s.  Calm before another storm.

I’ve been feeling like crap the past 2 days so I took a little 3-mile jog and it was beautiful out. No wind at all.

OBS thread should you have anything to report. I think most of the obs reports will be early Saturday.

[Roger Smith]

Would expect two rounds of convection with (a) occluded P front and (b) arctic front about 6 hrs afterwards, so around 0400-0600h and 1000-1200h EST. 

Will say widespread gusts into 40s but isolated 50s, it's active but not loaded with energy. Temp peak around 10:00h 51-54F. Falling into low 40s after arctic front passes, scattered flurries likely by evening in 32-34F range.

Winds really picking up now. No rain reaching the ground yet here despite the radar returns.

[MJO812]

Getting windy here

[nycsnow]

Just saw a huge flash… not sure if lighting or a transformer????

[nycsnow]

Must’ve been transformer cause con ed reporting people out on Staten Island 

[psv88]

Big gusts again. 

[Intensewind002]

Winds are gusting pretty strong here right now probably ~40 mph or so. Not really expecting any power issues around here considering my neighborhood made it through fine with 55 mph gusts in the last couple wind events

[Snowlover11]

pouring in yonkers

[wdrag]

MEH... Winds generally below 40 knots so far. 50 KT Scranton and power outages northern PA, eastern-central NYS/ northwestern NJ where 62 Mph occurred near Hamburg Mountain. Max rainfall missed the previously flooded basins (missed to the east) which is a good thing so the second even higher stage for the mainstreams may not occur in NJ.  Will post CocoRaHs map and any LSR's around 10A, as time available.

Yea less than 1/4 miles vis on my street earlier. Lifting a bit now. 

[Stormlover74]

Ewr up to 61...temp not wind 

[wdrag]

CoCoRaHs data as of 10A today...most obs before 8A. Red the biggest. click for clarity. NNJ rivers escaped a significant weekend rise since the 1+ inch was in the Poconos and east of I95.  Still folks without power nw NJ and eastern NYS among the states.

Definitely more tidal flooding today than the last storm. Meadowbrook Pky, Wantagh Pky near Jones Beach under water. Parts of Howard Beach and Broad Channel under water along with a couple of blocks of Cross Bay Blvd in Queens.

Edit: Island Park LIRR station also flooded.

[nycsnow]

Major flooding in rockaway and broad channel right now, cross bay blvd closed by Russos 

[jm1220]

Very dicey in parts of Oceanside/Island Park. Some side streets closed and main roads have a lot of water. W Park Ave in Long Beach also closed.
