Great run for the city but that confluence is no joke, you don't want this to get suppressed too much. It's a pretty sharp cut off north of the city on this run.
-
I'll run outside weenie out if this run verifies.
-
Now THAT was a Mother of God run, that's a Mother and Father of God run.
-
I would normally temper expectations this far out but usually when there's such a strong model consensus within 5 days and at least some room for error to work with, it's a strong indication that this should be at least a significant snow event for a good portion of the area. There's still lots that can go wrong, but the excitement is starting to build.

December 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
kat5hurricane replied to bluewave's topic in New York City Metro
Just stepped outside to the delight of light snow. I'm going to savour every flake in what could be a relatively flakeless season. -
I'd say that's pretty accurate. Isaias was just a different beast.
-
Isaias winds were definitely stronger. Isaias was the biggest windstorm since Sandy, it'll be tough to top that one.
-
And just like that, the rain is about over. That was a wild, wild 2 minutes of blinding rain.
-
Woah did I get home just in time. This rain is absolutely insane, it's a white out. I'm in awe and we've had a lot of extreme weather in the last 20 years to be in awe over.

Crazy wind in Whitestone, must be close to 60 mph. I just came back from the gas station on the way home and there was a big garbage can being blown around the station flew right past my car, never seen that before.
-
Eye will.

The duration of Sandy is what made it so historic. Consistent 50+ mph wind gusts for 24+ hours. The peak wind gusts were incredible but the winds were pounding the area for what seemed like forever. No storm in my lifetime has come close to matching Sandy from a wind standpoint. The sheer size of the storm was mindblowing.

Yeah, you were right. I was actually a little scared for my dog with the branches blowing around.
-
Just took a stroll through the neighborhood and was shocked by how many tree branches are down. I haven't seen this many branches littering the street since Sandy, nothing even close really.

I believe it. I live about 5 minutes from there and the wind is really intense. Going to take the dog out in a little while, that should be a fun ride.

Agreed. Wind is much more interesting IMO. I'd rather be on the east side of this storm from a weather enthusiast point of view.
-
Wind has gone from gusty to nuts here. There must have been a few 60+ mph gusts mixed in. Building shakers

Winds kicked up big time here.
-
Went from nothing to torrential rain in the blink of an eye in Whitestone. Winds slowly picking up
-
There are still going to be wind impacts. It's pick your poison with this system, rain impact to the west vs. wind impact to the east.
-
That was some fierce ass wind here in Whitestone for a quick 10 minutes or so, torrential rain too and then it was gone just like that.
-
Continuous vivid lightning in Whitestone. First storm this season with this much lightning. Clouds are facing too, beautiful storm visually.
-
No way. NYC is going to see prolific totals. Outside of a brief lull, the rain has been torrential for a good 2 hours now with more to come.
-
Crushing rain in Whitestone, was just out walking my dog in a monsoon. Wind picking up too

Svr potential Monday July 6 2P-10P NY metro
kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Crazy. What's interesting is that there was no lightning before or after, just some distant thunder. That's why I got spooked, there was no build up.
