omg. The best storms are always about to hit when the connecting train comes in

Haha, I’m at work here. The anticipation is killing me. Lightning to the west of the station for 15min now. We’re just minutes away.

Your area is the severe storm capital of the northeast. Crazy 

It's just insane. 4x since last July.  We managed to keep power on my street for a change

Saw that shelf cloud here in Whitestone, just engulfed the sky quickly, but nothing crazy yet.

[dmillz25]

Non stop thunder 

[dmillz25]

Mostly elevated lightning 

[JonClaw]

Benchmark thunderstorm here: continuous CtC with some CtG, constant thunder in the background, heavy rain.

Had some heavy rain and thunder and lightning in Morristown. Nothing crazy like previous storms thankfully. 

Drove through there earlier.  Was pretty wicked around the Green.

Radar seems to be building. I don’t see this not reaching Suffolk 

It’ll get here but evident on radar the collapse is starting.

Shelf cloud just before the thunderstorm impacted Larchmont.

Around the corner from me. Driver is ok

I'm happy to learn the driver is ok.

Hmph…kind of a dud here in Jamaica. Lot of lightning and thunderclaps but not windy and not terrible with the downpours. Looks like line might be through.  

[MANDA]

Back home.  Eyeballing the gauge looks like 1.25-1.5”.  Will confirm in the morning.

Some moderate road flooding in spots coming up Sussex Tpk.

[ForestHillWx]

Probably another 1.5” here.

Same here, pretty run of the mill storm. I expected more based on the observations just to the west of us and the look of the radar.

Worst rain ive seen since hurricane floyd. Rockland county is an absolute disaster.

Any rainfall estimates coming in from that area?

You must be 3”+ in rain there. The heavy activity skirted off to the east of me here up this way.

Yup. Squall lines from the west rarely give us our best storms. Crazy sky here. Nasty looking clouds. 

[forkyfork]

just another inch of rain

[WestBabylonWeather]

Sky is nuts 

[Dan76]

Thunder storm of yore here.

[Rmine1]

Wow, thunder and lightning in Brightwaters!

[lee59]

Looked threatening but basically a thundershower here, .20 inch of rain, 26mph wind gust.

[Rjay]

Crazy CGs here

[WestBabylonWeather]

Rain and lightning without the severe

Not severe here but that was awesome

[psv88]

Tame here. 0.28”. A few claps of thunder and winds to 30. 

[Picard]

1.15" in Sparta.
The skies were majestic, but I didn't witness anything too severe.  The wind did kick up at the NJ state fair and made it exciting for a few minutes.  There were a few CTG strikes around the area, but then it mostly ended up being a heavy rain event after that with some remaining thunder around.  I'm seeing some breaks in the clouds now off in the distance.
