NWS OKX Updated AFD: SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/... Key Messages: * A fast moving frontal system will bring a quick hitting band of moderate to heavy rain, isolated thunderstorms, and gusty winds late tonight into the Monday AM commute. * Isolated thunderstorms and/or a fine line of low topped convection are possible, bringing a low and localized potential for strong to damaging wind gusts or even a brief tornado. * South to southeast peak winds gusts of 30 to 40 mph are likely, particularly along southern and eastern coastal areas, bringing potential for scattered downed tree limbs and power lines * A minor urban and poor drainage flood threat exits as well. Models in good agreement with negatively tilting vigorous closed low approaching the region late tonight, and then pivoting through the area on Monday. At the surface, strong low pressure should continue to track NNE up towards Hudson Bay tonight, with its trailing cold front approaching the eastern US coast late this evening. Notable model trend over the last 24 hours of a slower and further NW development of secondary low pressure along the cold front late tonight into Monday AM, in response to the approaching closed upper low. This should keep the developing low well NW of the region early Monday morning, with trailing cold front crossing the region between 5 and 9am. Ahead of this, increasing cloud cover this evening, with a shot of moderate to heavy rain and breezy conditions late tonight into Monday morning ahead of approaching cold front and developing low pressure. This is in response to deep lift ahead of negatively tilting upper low in conjunction with advection of +2 std PWAT, marginally unstable, Atlantic airmass on the nose of a 45-50kt llj. In terms of winds, 15-25g30-40mph, with isolated gusts to 45 mph possible ahead of the front. Highest winds along the southern and eastern coasts. With S/SE wind direction and 40mph gust potential, scattered downed tree limbs and power lines are possible. In terms of rainfall, ensemble probabilities of 1" in 24 hours continue to run fairly meager 10-30 percent across interior. Deterministic models have backed down a bit with footprint of 1"+ rainfall amounts, particularly for western portions of the area, as slower and farther NW surface low development, slows intensification of WCB. Still, potential for a widespread 1/2 to 1 1/2", low prob of up to 2", mainly in a 3 hr period, particularly for interior S CT. WPC URRD continuing to indicate potential for a brief period of 1/2- 3/4"/hr, low prob 1" hr rainfall rates. See hydrology sections for possible impacts. Potential for some isolated thunderstorms, including a low topped convective fine line ahead of cold front, in the weakly unstable and strongly forced environment. Although a very low probability, cant rule out an isolated tstm bringing strong to damaging wind gust or even a rotating storm causing a brief weak tornado with a high shear/helicity and moist adiabatic low level environment. After collab with SPC and neighboring offices, marginal risk has been expanded into the local area. Rain should come to an end fairly quickly from west to east in wake of cold front Monday AM, although scattered shower activity is possible Monday aft/eve as the upper low moves through, particularly interior. Breezy W/NW wind gusts Monday aft/early eve (15-25G30-40mph) in wake of closed low and secondary cold front. Winds subside with drying conds Monday Eve/Night.

Finished with 1.03 inches at my station

Latest update as of 2:45pm from the PSEG LI outage map is 180 outages affecting approx 2675 customers.

1 inch at my station so far here in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn

.30 at my station so far

I’m in Garden City Nassau. Raining moderately. Winds not too bad.

Storm appears to be off the southern North Carolina coast (little swirl in the pic)

Per 9:18am OKX NWS AFD Update: NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... -- Changed Discussion -- Quick update to address near term trend, namely slower onset of rain and faster onset of winds.

LAG gusted to 40 mph last hour and JFK to 39 mph. Of note, pressures still rising so that Canadian HP is still pushing down a bit. As has been said on here in previous days, it's not the strength of the LP but the pressure gradient that's causing the winds.

Latest Sat afternoon/evening NWS briefing. Coastal flooding looks to be the major hazard with this system. Latest Briefing Oct 11 evening.pdf

NWS briefing seems to cover everything quite well LatestBriefing.pdf

Was this supposed to happen? lol

Heavy rain now where I’m at on Staten Island
