Very humid, muggy, and eye-irritating smoky again in northern Ocean County. Worst smoke for me in a few days here

Don’t you ever get tired of downplaying every event before it starts? All of this is following the forecast thus far.

I've seen how these events play out time and time again. We almost always need surface heating for several hours to generate a severe threat. 

The dynamics can overcome this to some degree but it won't be enough

I'm fine with rain and thunder. Don't need to lose power again

Agreed. I'm ok with not seeing tornadoes either. Shear is very high and dynamics would be enough for a significant tornado threat for our area if we had the instability to back it up.

Lost power in Sparta

Hey Sparta.
Sparta here too - over near the health and wellness center on 517 (Sparta Ave)
We were out from 11:15 - 11:50 but it came back, and then blinked again.  We're good for now, but the JCP&L outages are stacking up.  Almost 30K and counting.

I have a small station over here but nothing fancy, as well as an official plastic rain gauge since the electronic tipper is unreliable, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Insane storm. Lots of lightning and thunder and some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen and I don't say that lightly, very scary out on the roads.

[jm1220]

Light rain so far but that heavy blob's headed right at me. Much of the city will have 3" easy when this is over.

NYC bullseye storm. We deserved a soaker, lately we've been missing storms to our north and south.

An observation one doesn't off see in the NYC area from LaGuardia Airport this morning:

[psv88]

Thunderstorm out in Suffolk. Of course the baseball league didn’t cancel the game until there was lighting visible 

[hooralph]

Another storm lining up on the train tracks behind it. Gonna be a long day of subway flooding.

[Stormlover74]

Ewr over an inch already 

[NJwx85]

Our tornado/severe threat is currently back in Western PA. You can see some discreet cells popping up. SPC will be updating soon. In the meantime, the warm front is slightly over performing thus far. You can see the troughs over PA which will provide dynamics and veering winds.

Flood threat is very real. Our atmosphere is juiced to the max

Someone in town just posted this

It will keep happening all the way through winter. I bet one of those times it might phase with the polar jet and sparks will fly.

lightning caused it to short out

[psv88]

Long Island getting it now

[JerseyCityWX236]

It was absolutely pouring in downtown Jersey City for about the last hour.  Still coming down but has let up some in the last few minutes

[WestBabylonWeather]

Few huge thunderclaps in west babylon. Moderate rain. Blob in Nassau looks mean 

[LCPhotowerx]

It was as dark as a Tim Burton movie a few mins ago here in Staten Island, now its bright. Its gonna get wild again.

[BobbyHolikWillFindYou]

.51 in the rain gauge in Passaic. That was quick.

Agreed. In Waretown right now. Smokey and very humid with a fresh breeze. Sun dimmed behind the smoke.

This was a great satellite loop from the other day that sums up what we have been experiencing this week.

 

[NEG NAO]

going to be more flooding within the next hour in north central NJ storms to our southwest moving in and then headed to NYC after that

[jm1220]

Heavy rain now.
