JonClaw Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Tons of lightning and rain. Not much thunder, surprisingly. Best of this line is going to my north. As I type this the rain is picking up again, whatever is in Brooklyn might train over me... and finally some good thunder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRRTA22 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 4 minutes ago, kat5hurricane said: Lots of times we see Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and the storms aren't actually severe. This storm is certainly meeting severe status with torrential rain, constant vivid lightning and house shaking thunder. It was warranted. Velocities supported 60mph , the storm just weakened near the Newark bay before strengthening again over upper Manhattan. I think we'll see some damage reports coming out of areas just west of Newark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Been pouring here for the last 30 minutes or so, but no reports of high winds in the Metuchen/Edison area that I've seen (unlike last night). Can't wait for the return to normal weather tomorrow. Have friends at CitiField at the Foo Fighters show and they just stopped it for awhile presumably. Sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Records: Highs: EWR: 100 (2012) NYC: 100 (1953) LGA: 98 (2012) JFK: 97 (1969) Lows: EWR: 56 (1946) NYC: 57 (1892) LGA: 60 (1946) JFK: 61 (1989) Historical: 1934 - One of the worst heat waves in the history of the nation commenced. During the last two weeks of the month extreme heat claimed 679 lives in Michigan, including 300 in Detroit alone. (The Weather Channel) 1941 - A prolonged heat wave over Washington State finally came to an end. Lightning from untimely thunderstorms was responsible for 598 forest fires. (David Ludlum) 1942: A great flood developed over the Smethport area in Pennsylvania, resulting in an estimated 34.50 inches of rain in just one day, including 30.60 inches in only six hours, setting a world record. The official observing site, Smethport Highway Shed, reported only 13.08 inches for the entire month because the flood consumed the gauge after 6.68" of rain. The total results from the substitution of the officially estimated amount for the amount measured. 1952 - Thunderstorms helped the temperatur at Key West, FL, to dip to 69 degrees, to equal their July record established on the first of July in 1923. (The Weather Channel) 1957 - On a warm and sunny day at Wilmington, DE, with a high of 86 degrees, a dust devil suddenly appeared. It tore most the roof off one house, and stripped shingles from a neighboring house. A TV aerial was toppled, and clothes were blown off clothes lines. (The Weather Channel) 1981: Severe thunderstorm winds ripped a 10,000 square foot hole in a 90-foot high pavilion at Sea World in Orlando, FL. The storm panicked a crowd of 550 tourists. One death occurred due to injury and heart attack, and 15 people were injured. The canopy was made of fiberglass and Teflon, designed to withstand 120 mph winds. 1987 - Slow moving thunderstorms caused flooding on the Guadalupe River in Texas resulting in tragic loss of life. A bus and van leaving a summer youth camp stalled near the rapidly rising river, just west of the town of Comfort, and a powerful surge of water swept away 43 persons, mostly teenagers. Ten drowned in the floodwaters. Most of the others were rescued from tree tops by helicopter. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - A dozen cities in the eastern U.S., and six others in California, reported record high temperatures for the date. Downtown San Francisco, CA, with a high of 103 degrees, obliterated their previous record high of 82 degrees. Philadelphia, PA, reported a record five straight days of 100 degree heat, and Baltimore, MD, reported a record eight days of 100 degree weather for the year. Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe weather along the Middle Atlantic Coast, and over southern New England. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from South Dakota to Lousiana, with 126 reports of large hail and damaging winds during the day and night. Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced hail four inches in diameter in Frontier County, and at North Platte, causing millions of dollars damage to crops in Frontier County. Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Peggs. Tahlequah OK was drenched with 5.25 inches of rain. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1994: Atlanta, Georgia saw a record-tying, 14 straight days come to an end on this day. The entire month of July had 17.71 inches, the wettest month ever in the Georgia capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
