3-4 hours and this mess should pass but it adds , for some, to the streak of wet weekend days 

 

I think makes it a wet weekend for everyone, look at how widespread the rain is.

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

The economic impact for many will start to take a toll if this weekend rain pattern continues. An unexpected shower or T storm isn't that surprising in summer, but an extended organized batch of rain  with no warning does suck, and seems rare in the warmer months.

Also people had the plan to do some outdoor stuff early while the heat is at least tolerable. Now getting t storms moving through. 

Watch those NYC temps. Central Park underachieves temp wise even more when its wet there, compared to out in the open where it dries out faster.

Winds now in Farmingdale as I ride the LIRR east as pretty strong from the WSW.  Not sure if that’s some mesoscale induced feature

Awful performance by the models even at 6z.

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


.

You didnt read any of the posts for context. He wasnt praising a model for being correct nor touting technological advances. He was mocking all of the models. Hence the take a breath, you came in here attacking someone for something that you misread. Now go take that breath. Or play outside. Dont care. But take the nonsense somewhere else.

Historical:

 

1886: At Lynchburg, a "terrific rain" led to street flooding, setting a new record for the wettest June at the site (5.44 inches Record at this time). In Washington, DC, (4.16 inches Record at this time) of rain fell on the 22nd alone, setting a 24-hour rainfall record for June. (Ref. for Heavy Rainfall)

1906: A destructive hailstorm struck the town of Chelsea, VT, covering an area 1 by 10 miles. There were drifts up to two feet deep, and most crops were destroyed. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1919: 59 people were killed as an F5 tornado ripped through the town of Fergus Falls, MN. 400 buildings were destroyed. A blank check was found over 60 miles away and lumber was carried 10 miles. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1928: A farmer near Greensburg, KS looked up into the heart of a tornado. He described its walls as "rotating clouds lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy odor with a screaming, hissing sound."

 

1944: A violent tornado, which touched down in southwest Wisconsin, crossed the border into Illinois, northeast of Freeport. Both states had at least $1 million damage each. In Illinois, 66 farms lost barns, and 21 homes were destroyed. Two people were killed in Illinois, with seven more in Wisconsin.  (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1947 - Twelve inches of rain fell in forty-two minutes at Holt, MO, establishing a world rainfall record. That record was tied on January 24-25, 1956, at the Kilauea Sugar Plantation in Hawaii, as their state record was established with 38 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)

1972 - Hurricane Agnes deluged Pennsylvania and New York State with torrential rains resulting in the most costly flood in U.S. history. In the Middle Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania, 24 hour rainfall amounts were generally 8 to 12 inches, with up to 19 inches in extreme southwestern Schuylkill County. At Wilkes-Barre, PA, the dike was breached destroying much of the town. Flooding resulted in 117 deaths and 3.1 billion dollars damage. (David Ludlum)

1981 - A young woman from Lubbock, TX, was struck by lightning. The bolt of lightning struck just above her right shoulder near her neck, and passed right to left through her body, tearing her warm-ups, causing her tennis shoes to explode, and lifting her two feet into the air. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms in southern Texas produced wind gusts to 116 mph near Quemado. Thunderstorms in New York State produced 5.01 inches of rain in 24 hours at Buffalo, an all-time record for that location, and produced an inch of rain at Bath, PA. The temperature at Fairbanks AK soared to 92 degrees, establishing a record for the date. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Sixty-five cities in twenty-four states reported record high temperatures for the date. Tucson AZ reported an all-time record high of 114 degrees, surpassing the previous record of 112 degrees established a day earlier. Highs of 98 degrees at Pittsburgh, PA, and 100 degrees at Baltimore, MD, tied records for the month of June. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Record cold temperatures were reported in the High Plains Region. Rapid City, SD, reported a record low of 39 degrees, in sharp contrast to their record high of 102 degrees two days earlier, on the 20th. (The National Weather Summary)

 

2003: A hailstone measuring 7.0 inches in diameter with a circumference of 18.75 inches and weighing 1.33 pounds falls in Aurora, Nebraska. The National Weather Service reports this is the second largest hailstone ever documented in the U.S. by weight, and the largest by size at that time. The world's largest hailstone NOW was produced from storms in South Dakota; 8" in diameter and 1.9375 lbs. on July 23, 2010.

 

2009: Florida: Temperature records tumble with Vero Beach leading the record heat parade with a record high of 102°F and a heat index of 111°F. Elsewhere in the state, Tallahassee hits 103°F; Daytona and West Palm Beach, 96°F and Miami 98.°F.
(Ref. WxDoctor)

2016: June 22-24. Part of a severe weather outbreak that produced over two dozen tornadoes from Illinois to West Virginia, up to 10 inches of rain fell in just 12-24 hours on June 23, setting off West Virginia's third deadliest flood. Twenty-three people lost their lives.

 

 

 

so some beach locations in Florida do hit 100 degrees on occasion!!

No I mean if we had precip coming down from the same direction (north) in the winter, even if it happened differently.  I remember a couple of times we had surprise snowstorms in the winter when an arctic front came down from the north and stalled just south of us.  February 1993 is one example, we got 4-7 inches of snow out of that (my favorite kind, all day snow that cleared right at sunset.)

The other one was in February 1991 (if I remember this one correctly, my favorite snowstorm prior to January 1996), we had over 8 inches of snow during an arctic frontal passage that was never supposed to do anything except for a few rain showers changing to snow showers.  The front stalled and a low formed just SE of the Hamptons and it snowed here for 36 straight hours (my longest snow event to this day-- thats why I loved this event so much and it was a complete surprise).  It would have accumulated a lot more than 8 inches, but the snowfall during the day was while temperatures were 33-34, it really started accumulating at night and we were the bullseye.  There was no snow west of Newark or east of the Hamptons.  Boston and Philly got nothing.

I remember some type of event from the early 90s where the Weather Channel was showing models forecasting moderate snow dropping down from the north in a line. Even as a little kid I remember seeing that and thinking that was weird.

Look what I just posted in my edit haha we had two events like that during the early 90s and one was a complete surprise (the first one)

[LibertyBell]

I love a cold, moderate steady snow that falls all day long. I can stare out the window forever looking at that. 

[Sundog]

For some reason Radarscope isn't picking up any of the lightning that is occuring. Weird.

Yes, this is exactly what those two events were!  The February 1993 event occurred on a weekend, I think a Sunday if I remember correctly and the one that was not predicted at all, in February 1991, occurred on a Friday if I remember that right.

 

[Sundog]

Just as I said that it shows one lightning bolt around Manhattan lol

I'm referring to our local area of course. I know that in central NY it's been showing the lightning.

Guys the 12z NAMs couldn't even initialize the rain correctly. My goodness.

Thunder and light rain in East Brunswick

This is dumb now.

may end up mainly cloudy most of the day looking at the satellite.

That was interesting weather to play soccer in. Muggy as hell, wet as hell, sweaty as hell. Fun to play, uncomfortable as hell.

couple gigantic CTG what a treat

A random MCS ruining the chance of 100 at Central Park is hilarious
