That 2010 tornado destroyed so many giant old trees in my neighborhood. It still upsets me to this day

This is the most extreme weather video that I have ever seen come out of Queens. Harsh language advisory. But it’s very understandable when you see 125 mph winds.

At least this is only a minor nuisance. The major issues with MCS systems is when they aren’t forecast and they are high end severe. This is what happened with the surprise September 2010 NYC tornado and macroburst. 

It's not a nuisance for literally tens of thousands of pent up beach goers who made plans to

Looks like NJ will get its remnants 

Yes please, would keep temps down a bit which would be welcomed.

Same theme as we have seen for a while. The best beach weather and heat occurs on the week days. While it always finds a way to rain on the weekends.

I can only laugh this morning, otherwise I'll go crazy...why is it raining?  Can we literally not get a weekend without rain, is there a new rule I missed?

Might as well not even open the pool if this is the trend.

The cloudiness from the MCS was somewhat modeled for today, but they dropped the ball on the rain completely. Latest GFS actually has more showers tonight.

Crazy thunder up here in Mahwah right now

[Snowlover11]

Just had the loudest boom here in a long time shook the entire house.

[Picard]

Thundering here.

Thank goodness this will move the cocktail hour for the wedding I am headed to on Long Island inside.

Were we supposed to have rain today? I don't get it!

Record heat is often preceded by these MCS systems. The most famous one was in July 1995. A few hours later we had our highest heat indices in the 120s.

Take a breath. 

Hey everybody who had outdoor plans or beach plans we can’t be upset because BxEngine said we need to take a breath.

The light level outside right now is the same as it would be end of December cloudiness wise. It's really dark out.

Loud thunder. What a bust. Looks like rain for a couple hours.

Storms are strengthening, supposed to leave for Yankee game

It was a double there. The 125mph microburst  plus EF1 tornado.

Yea that part of Queens got the straight line winds, we didn't get that here. But the tornado was bad enough as it was.

I like severe weather after heat wave season ends-- glad to see severe weather did not interfere with our nice dry heat in 2010 :-)

Yes, do you see what I mean about our new wetter climate? This kind of shit did not happen in 1953 or 1966.

Yes but wet ground can also suppress temperatures, we didn't see this kind of thing in 1999 or 2010.

Looks like I’ll be spending much of the day in the drier eastern half of Suffolk. If we can’t get thunderstorms I don’t want any additional rain.

Maybe it's time to move the weekends to the middle of the week?

I hear thunder and the ground is wet here, so it's raining but the rain is very light.

Rain does appear as if it’ll end from NNE-SSW.  Can already see a good part of Long Island it’ll end soon 

[MJO812]

Awful performance by the models even at 6z. 

[the_other_guy]

If you slept late, you missed it all! Should be a nice day from this point forward

This week’s weather does not look as hot or prolonged as we originally thought. Looking like upper 70s low 80s for me by Thursday. Mid 90s Monday and Tuesday. That is if the models that didn’t get today right are right. Also looks like a quite cloudy week ahead. It does look humid though all week. 

yes on the positive side, barring any unforeseen rain (heh) next weekend should be in the low 80s with sunshine.

Thursday will be the last hot day, major change coming by Friday.

This is now normal for us, even if they are extreme, our heatwaves are rarely longer than 4-5 days anymore.
