I turned in at 10:00 PM and it was cloudy and drizzly. I woke up at 3:00 AM and somehow the skies had cleared out and I got some great pictures. The website is not letting me upload them. This morning I am all fogged in. What I saw was just like what Don saw.

0.06” in the gauge this morning with a few claps of thunder. Next..

In a recently posted LSR hail with a diameter of 1.25” was reported in Whitehall Twp.

We just did get pounded. We had a spectacular lightning storm along with a quick 0.65” of rain. Looks like the storms are weakening some as they move into the more stable atmospheric conditions further east across NJ. I was also watching that hail shown above on radar. I am certain that there was even larger sized hail with this feature up near Jim Thorpe.

A line of severe thunderstorms has popped up in NE PA ahead of the cold front. NWS has issued a warning for this feature speaking of the threat of 1” hail with it.

Same here!

You got the flare! Well done. That’s what I saw however I could not get the shot.

Incredible experience. The clouds parted just enough so we could get the totality experience. I even saw a bright orange solar flare. Amazing!!

Looks like there are people still enroute from the Albany who are hitting traffic on 87. The folks traveling north in VT and NH are in a mess with major back ups on the interstates there.

40 miles south.

On the SE corner of Lake Ontario near Mexico, NY. Just some patchy cirrus around. Not a whole lot of people out and about here.

Staying overnight in Binghamton. Will plan my next move up there based on hi res model outputs. The AFDs that I read speak of a cirrus deck and a mid-level deck. The hi res outputs are showing breaks in this cloud shield. Hopefully I can identify a suitable area north of Syracuse where one of these breaks happen. It’s definitely a crap shoot. What is really interesting is that hotels and other places up there that have been fully booked all week have rooms available for tonight (not cheap). In any case not feeling the love about driving all the way up to northern VT.

Same here all day.

Still on and off rain here. My storm total since Monday is 3.08”

You’re not kidding. I am seeing lightning strikes being registered on my Tempest station as this latest batch comes through.

I am hearing this unearthly roar in the sky with these winds.

Recent gust to 35 mph at my inland location with this feature. I suspect you who are in the NYC area will really see your winds crank as this feature comes through.

Mt. Holly has issued a special weather statement for a wake low which is producing strong winds to 40 - 50 mph across eastern PA and northern NJ. This is going to be incoming for you in the NYC area.

I have had 25” for this season so it’s a C+ for me. Been a tough season for a lot of places.

It’s amazing how that area has been so screwed the past couple of winters. Many 10:1 model runs calling for 6”+ for the Boston area for this event and now it looks like mainly sleet / rain unless you’re near the NH border.

These winds are already happening. I recently recorded a gust to 42 mph at my station at Cherry Grove. A nearby station has recently recorded a gust to 50 mph. I have no doubt that there will be gusts over 60 mph along the barrier beaches and would not rule out gusts to near hurricane force with this event.

Raining steadily here this morning. 0.14” so far.

Storm total at 1.65” for the event on Fire Island.

1.48” on the day at my station on Fire Island.

Gust to 32 mph at my remote station at Cherry Grove on Fire Island at 4:45 PM with the line. A nearby station gusted to 42 mph at that time.
