Slight risk for everyone today except for Suffolk.

Not expecting much tonight as convection is weakening and could dry up before reaching Eastern sections. Tomorrow should see multiple rounds of storms.

Had almost 5” of rain in Mahwah for the 11/2-11/3 storm.

PA tornado outbreak?

"Shaking felt thousands of miles away, devastation from Boston to DC as 8.0 magnitude Earthquake strikes along the Ramapo fault in NJ"

Is @HurricaneJosh still over in that region? If so, might as well hope over to Taiwan for the next one.

He hasn’t posted anything on Twitter or Facebook for roughly seven hours. He said he was about to lose all connectivity and he was still well outside the eyewall. Probably one of his most dangerous chases ever given the remote location and intensity.

DIX destroyed OKX this time around.

It's really annoying that KDIX is down again.

With the clocks going back this weekend we're really going to start dropping into the doldrums of late Autumn. We've been lucky that it's been a relatively dry and mild Autumn so far, however that looks to change, at least somewhat moving ahead. I'm playing golf on Saturday afternoon in an attempt to hold onto the last gasps of outdoor activities. So we're three weeks away from Thanksgiving and about 7 1/2 weeks away from Christmas, and then we start turning the corner as days begin getting longer once again. It will be a slow few weeks in January, especially if the Southeast ridge returns, which I strongly favor in my thinking. After that it's two weeks for pitchers and catchers, the Daytona 500 and away we go as the long awaited first signs of Spring begin to emerge. It's always a great feeling that first day in late March when you can open up the windows and breathe in the fresh air after being cooped up for the previous 14 weeks or so. I love snow as much as anyone, but I have no use for cold. And the older I get, the more and more I hate the Winter. I take solace in knowing that legitimate Winter in these parts is usually no more than a 12 week affair, and hopefully this year it will be even less.

Cold Winters are overrated and no guarantee for a Snowy season. How many times in recent history have we been stuck under the cold and dry PV while areas to the South and East got pounded with storm after storm? Plus who doesn't like breaking out the shorts for a few days in Mid-February? I love snow just as much as the next person, but I have no use for cold and dry.

Autumn sucks. I hope we stay in the 70's and 80's through at least the next few weeks.

My Wife and I rented UTV's in Aruba, they were awesome. Saw the Flamingos too.

Congrats bro!

The strong ridging in place since late August has kept most of the tropical moisture to our South and East.

Unless I am reading this wrong, I don't see any drought over Northern NJ. Again, most of the Summer was wet out this way. The dry spell has only lasted a few weeks so far.

Yeah I've got Zoysia here. It's not the prettiest or the softest but it's more rugged.

With all due respect, we live 50 miles apart, and this Summer was definitely wetter West of the Hudson River.

No it's not a typo. Despite the dryer conditions the last month or so the grass is still a vibrant shade of green. It's probably because we were so above normal in July and August that soil moisture content remained relatively high. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Soilmst_Monitoring/US/Soilmst/Soilmst.shtml

Still luscious and green out here. Hasn't rained much in about a month but we were so above normal all Summer that the recent dryness has helped. First time I can remember needing to cut the grass all Summer long.

But at least people can go to battery park and enjoy themselves. The Hudson has all that park property along the West side highway. From battery park you would have great views from Staten Island, Brooklyn and NJ.

Why aren't the fireworks near Battery Park instead of the East River where you have so many more obsticales?

GEFS mean is >1.50"
