That bow coming up from central Jersey may be the real deal for the south shore

Quite windy

Yeah gusty winds, but looking at radar I see the storm is really weakening as it moves into our area.

Wait, you live in Oceanside and you WANT a cat 3 to hit like 10-15 miles west of where you live?? 

No, I just want to know what it would be like, I've had enough of hurricanes after going through Sandy.

We should definitely see if there’s a funnel cloud with that bow coming up here.

Thats the gorgeous skies we had earlier, deep blue with lots of sun and billowing white cumulus to our north!!
 

[winterwx21]

Man it completely fell apart as it moved in. Just some light rain here.

Looks that way. Just some thunder and light rain

I could see around the Southern State really roasting with the compressional heating in the afternoon. I have to think some kind of seabreeze develops with waters still in the mid 60s. I don’t think that cool water gets denied all day. 

it will be too late and happen after it already gets into the 100s on the south shore

by the way, it's not all that cool anymore, water temps in the mid 60s now.

big difference between lets say Long Beach and Valley Stream, for example.  We were in the 90s back in April 2010 too.

I wonder how all this rain will affect the 130 degrees the Euro is showing for NYC next week

zero rain here lol

[MJO812]

Its getting really dark here

[steve392]

In Hoboken and insane lightning to our south.  Could be serious storm if it holds together.

Skies grew dark here in Riverdale, NJ, but the storm missed us. Not even a few drops of rain, or a flash of lightning, rumble of thunder.

Same here, we didn't even get dark here until after 6 pm.

[dmillz25]

Mad lightning with this

[Monty]

Some damn fine police work there by the 12z globals.

Now it's raining hard here and very dark and I hear hail hitting my a/c unit.

[Cfa]

Just saw a flight destined for Philadelphia land at Islip. Flights bound for JFK are doing go-arounds and flying in circles way out into Suffolk, which won’t be an option soon as the storms approach.

[Monty]

Severe storms all afternoon in Manhattan? Not if the 18z NAM has anything to say about it!

 

How are these models getting worse?

[winterwarlock]

Looked worse on radar but only produced some wind and about .30

[psv88]

Getting windy and dark. Rolling thunder 

[doncat]

0.25" here, most of that from the rouge shower at around 1:30.

[jm1220]

 Velocities looked pretty intense going through the south shore barrier islands.

Thankfully they are conscious, and alert. Taken to hospital as a precaution.

It was sub severe here. But close, gusts definitely at least in the 40s with small branches down. Best storm of the year for sure. 

[NorthShoreWx]

Outflow from the storms approaching here from the southwest just blew through here.  Probably higher wind than during the storm we had a hour and a half or two hours ago.  That one fizzled a little as it approached and was pretty brief but dropped .40" of rain with some thunder in an intense squall.

Light rain and some thunder now. Some gustier wind from the outflow boundary a few minutes ago. Lots of twigs and smaller branches down from the storm before but thankfully nothing bigger.

I’m hoping it never happens, one of the biggest things I worry about on this island. Cat 3 or worse would be catastrophic for us.

Thunderstorm season finally up and running. Plenty more chances coming up
