100.1 for the high, 85 now and breezy with some drizzle

That is one hell of a map.  I would expect problems on a night like tonight, but JCP&L has the worst record of keeping lights on.  They are always the highest outages measured by percentage of their total customers. 

Not sure what happened in my area.  My power went out before the winds really hit.   We had a CTG strike, a boom of thunder and off went the power.  Then the winds really picked up.  Lighting must have hit something.  Grid was probably pushed to the limit already with the heat.

TEWR from 7:37 PM.  Damaging winds were moving through Morristown and most of the county, on the leading edge of, or even in front of the line itself.  A separate thunderstorm downburst was moving along the Essex/Passaic county line and into southern Bergen/northern Hudson counties.  At the time of this radar image, warnings were still 10 to 16 minutes away from issuance for the 4 eastern counties.

[Picard]

Almost 239,000 outages in NJ currently, down a little from 256,000 earlier.  That's insane.  This is going to be a while for those affected, I'm afraid.

Just got update from JCPL.  For my area "estimated restoration times will not be available until tomorrow afternoon"

This is not going to be a quick fix.

Chicago getting crushed

Just getting cell service back. Still no power. Lots on damage and trees down in my yard and neighborhood.

Yep, nailed twice today. This afternoon’s were pretty crazy, wind must have gusted to 50 where I’m staying. Quite a bit of tree/property damage around the city. 

[Cyg]

My town went ahead with their fireworks tonight despite the storm damage. My power ended up coming back on after about two hours, but I noticed most streets were out while heading downtown. Twigs and small branches were everywhere, and a couple streets were impassible with downed limbs and power lines. Needless to say turnout at the fireworks was pretty low. 

Edit: Looking at the outage map, basically my entire town is out of power except for my little neighborhood, sheesh.

Got the same, good times. 

[weatheruser]

That was intense. I thought we were getting a tornado

Reading between the lines I think it means  they are doing little or nothing until daybreak.

Just got a rumble of thunder out of nowhere

We can see the evolution of top end heatwaves at Central Park as the tree canopy has continued to expand and cover the site. Prior to the mid 1990s when the new ASOS was established,  Central Park was more in line with places like Newark and LGA during heatwaves reaching 103° and higher.

There were times like July 1936 and 1977 when it was the warmest station around NYC Metro.

So a station such as Newark would probably need to reach 104°-105° for NYC to have a shot at 100° with how dense the tree cover had become during the 2020s.

NYC has gone a record breaking 5094 days not reaching 100° since July 2012.

This time stations like Newark and Harrison had to reach 105°-106° for NYC to finally reach 100°. LGA also made it to 104°. This suggests that NYC would have probably been at least 104° if the ASOS hadn’t become overgrown by the trees since the 1990s. This matches the past times our area experienced 103°+ heat before the tree growth near the castle became an issue.

Ensembles are showing a lot of rain as the heat breaks. Would not be surprised to see it go from drought conditions to flooding in a hurry.

Great video of the severe storms moving in yesterday from a boat in New York Harbor.

We just an FB update from Chester’s municipal government noting 76% of the residences are out of power; they are calling in back up road/tree and power crews.

This is actually the heaviest rainfall signal that we have seen from the models in quite some time.

 

[NEG NAO]

Not Good - especially for areas with no power now
