Im going to have to agree honestly, peak gusts were probably around 45 mph or so here. There were definitely worse storms wind wise this past winter. 

JFK gusted to 54mph so far, I think HWW criteria is 55+. I’m sure a number of areas met it so far. Not to the point there’s widespread damage but the “nasty meter” today definitely off the charts.

Yes it is windy. Many airports and open locations had gusts in the 40s and 50s.

Winds howling now

sustained winds 40 mph or greater, for better than 1 hour - and/or wind gusts 58 mph or greater, for any duration.

There are trees and large branches down on power lines across the island. Some of my friends are without power. The HWW was the right call 

[uofmiami]

Only 33mph so far at both my stations. Wind advisory would have been fine.

Winds seem to be picking up again, Ill admit I was wrong when I stated the winds were only gusting to the 40s some widespread 50+ in the lastest PNS https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/windpns.pdfhttps://www.weather.gov/media/okx/windpns.pdf

In terms of rainfall, 2.24” here in Lindenhurst. On a side note it looked like a tropical storm outside at times with the heavier rains earlier today, definitely didn’t feel like one though with the wind chill around 30.

Yea only 35mph  here. Seems like our area really missed the worst of the storm. However, did get a little over 2 inches of rain.

[donsutherland1]

Select wind reports. The high wind warning has verified at numerous locations.

Seems it. I’m at 2.22” in Syosset & 2” in Muttontown so far.

It was warranted and verified. Bottom line.

In Melville this afternoon the flags/branches were being blown around pretty good and rain in sideways sheets. Definitely a tropical storm vibe.

Rain and wind will continue into tomorrow with temperatures mainly in the 40s. A storm total 1"-3" rainfall with locally higher amounts is verifying across the region.

Coastal flooding at times of high tide is likely. Central and upstate New York and central and northern New England could see accumulating snow, especially in higher elevations and away from the coastline.

After a cool first week of April, it will likely turn noticeably warmer during the second week of the month.

It is very likely that New York City's Central Park will finish the 2023-2024 snow season with less than 10" of seasonal snowfall for a record second consecutive season. Records go back to 1869.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.0°C for the week centered around March 20. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.42°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.27°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring.

The SOI was -11.47 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.368 today.

I think it’s time to pull the plug and call time of death on any chance of NYC making it to 10” snow this winter

Snowing again in the Catskills and northern half of New England.

You mean Central Park. JFK had close to 13 inches.

Looks like that's about it. 1.78" here today after 0.95" yesterday, so 2.73" for this very wet 2 day period. About what was expected. 

Boy do we need a drying out period now. Thankfully the next week looks dry, and I'm looking forward to the warmup next week. We should hit 70 here on Tuesday. It'll be nice to get back to weather that's good for outdoor activities. 

Rain is not done yet…

[SI Mailman]

Approaching 3 inches with more rain coming

I'm seeing the same with transformers blowing. Lights at home has been flikering for hrs, but power is holding on. Wind may not of verified for some, but it has here, maybe exceeded  expectations.

Driving rainstorm continues. 2.45”, winds gusting into the 40s. 

[JerseyWx]

I think we can comfortably put today into the top 10 worst weather days of the year.  Just a miserable wind driven 37 degree rain all day.  Sitting at just under 2 inches here.

[Rtd208]

Picked up 1.90" of rain for the day. 

Storm total so far 3.04"
