  1. There is an inversion but it's very close to the surface. Otherwise winds are Southerly so little shear. Any wind shear would be at the lowest levels, from 925mb down. I don't believe this would have a tremendous impact on aviation, however you're the pilot so I would differ to you. I would think the risk of downdrafts would be higher than normal. In any event visibility will be poor in heavy convection from 00z to 09z.
  2. High res models, HRDPS, 3k NAM, FV3, ARW models indicating heaviest axis of rain over I-95 and points just to the North and West (2-4"+) with less amounts of 1-2" for the city South and East where the strongest winds will be.
  3. I know it has been mentioned before, good storm threat a week from today. Probably the best chance of snow for the coast that we have seen in over a year.
  4. Lots of severe weather/tornados in Southern Alabama, Southwest Georgia and Northern Florida today. Usually indicative of the strength of the dynamics involved with a system. Surface low near St. Louis is already sub 990mb. Forecasted to deepen to sub 975mb before occluding over Lake Michigan late tonight.
  5. Shameful to see some here downplaying the threat and contradicting the NWS. The warnings are warranted. The flow at the surface will be off the ocean which will help funnel the stronger winds into the region. Strong convection will help to mix down stronger winds. Lack of inversion is key here. 3k NAM has 125kts at 850mb along the NJ coast at 06z.
  6. Biggest difference with this system over the one in December is the wind threat well inland. 55-60 might be marginally notable on LI but it’s pretty serious in NJ, E PA and Southern portions of NY State where there are heavily wooded areas, exposed power lines and saturated grounds. Many areas in NNJ are less than 2 weeks removed from a major flood. Water tables are high and reservoirs are already at capacity. Bad combo to add that with pending rapid snow melt. Reminds me of March 2010 system.
