Wow a lot of thunder

Thunder!

There is a crazy roar with these winds

Winds are ripping here last 15-20 min

Winds really starting to pickup now

Where is the location of the low now

Most models have the strongest winds 2pm-10pm or so

Upton- winds. Most 00Z model guidance is showing a strong LLJ anywhere from 60 to 70 kts at 925mb. Bufkit soundings show a pretty high inversion with a lot of the strong winds from the LLJ both above and below it, so its likely a lot of the strong winds will mix down to the surface

Models continue to insist on a solid wind event

Impressive winds on models really ramping up the gust ceiling last few runs

High wind watch up

Looks like all the rain is sliding east

Winds picking up

If the models are correct winds should begin to gust 40-50 within next hour or 2 and with the super wet ground can cause some problems

Winds really picked up here last half hour or so

We’ve been gusting 40-50 all morning here in Staten Island, it’s been a. But cloudy let’s see if we get some more mixing with sun starting to come out like @bluewavementioned

Power outages starting to creep up, worst of the winds come after 11am to Upton. Shaping up to be a long duration wind event

High wind watches up

Solid gust

Upper level winds over 240kts really helping these planes there’s quite a few flying over 800mph
