The outflow boundary is doing wonders now over Morris/Somerset county line from a portion of the line of storms that was previously weakened.

Yep. You can practically envision it scooping up the unstable air to its LFC and forming downdrafts by the time it is ~15 mi behind it. :) Cool stuff.

The latest radar doesn't look too impressive for N NJ IMO. Most of the storms south of NY state have weakened with less reds showing up on the radar, and even the new storms that formed near western Morris appear to have slightly weakened in the last 10 mins or so. Other than the strong storm in Orange county, there doesn't seem to be much more than the typical thunderstorm action going on. There's still going to be thunderstorms but I doubt there's going to be any real severe wx action around NYC tonight.

Honestly, I'm hard-pressed to even find any 50dbz+ bins right now...

I'm trying to think of the last time that a large severe weather event was actually able to fully impact NE NJ as forecasted, if not exceeding expectations. So far I can't come up with anything.

As suspected, the lack shear hurt this line once it started out build a cold pool. There was not the right balance to keep it going.

not only lack of shear, the thermodynamics completly sht the bed. We were from a SB lift index of -8 to -4 and SB Cape from 4,000 to 1,000 in 2 hrs.

Last time that I had a real severe thunderstorm up here was on 7/8/09. Monster QLCS transitioned into a supercell.

coastalwx called it. Guy knows his winter wx and severe wx. :clap::clap: well done.

I hope you know that he was referring to the line that was heading into NW CT, and that line did perk up very rapidly as it had entered the state.

Meh, almost every "severe weather" event will find a way to screw the NYC area over.

Look at the bright side, at least we were not stuck in the middle 60's all day with fog like they were over in Boston.

If you really want to get technical...

These cells barely have any lightning with them, so I guess the majority aren't even 'thunderstorms'

truth, some people may not even see heavy rain as the line is breaking up in some places

Looking through my records the last one I can see is on August 2008, but I wasn't here for that one. Before that I don't even have a clue. That 7/8/09 cell missed me just to the north.

Back to the latest event there's dark clouds moving in and it's getting a bit windy. Only storm nearby I see is in Morris county but that appears to be headed to my west.

Hoping there's lighting, love lightning in the dark

I have a question for you who dosnt? Oh and guys I have a question like 2-4 years ago there was a line of severe storms that came through with nearly constant lightning for about 2 hours straight does anyone remember that?
