No, my parents called me a few times today with updates. I told them I had a whopping 0.01" of rain down here in PA. :cry:

Lol, I was missed by the light show in the morning. Suffolk gets to have all tge fun when it comes to severe Wx.

I saw a car out in Breezy Point that had PA plates on it and it was covered in Rangers crap. I thought it was you lol.

Yea SW Suffolk is a pretty bad screw zone for severe weather and winter weather, although on days like yesterday its a matter of luck not geography as it seemed the island has actually been in the firing line the past week or so.

Up here im Boston was finishing up a drink w some friends at a bar last night around 930 and we go to leave, all hell breaks loose. Literally a massive storm develops over downtown so we had to call a cab. That was annoying as ****.

Islip with 8.61" in June vs. 2.76" in Central Park

Best storm since 2007 here in Edison yesterday....i will not complain at all now....grear cg...loud thunder....flooding...and it look like it was 10pm

I guess you weren't in Edison for late July 2009? That storm produced dark as night/frequent lightning in the aftn with 70 mph winds observed in Edison (it was the same day as the pair of EF-2s in Sussex and Stroudsburg)

I was up in CT yesterday morning and that was definitely an awesome line of t-storms. Dark as night enhanced by the time of day, awesome lightning and serious rainfall rates. Though the 2 storms I witnessed in Holmdel last summer were easily better. They both occurred on those ridiculous CAPE days we had. First one was the day of the Springfield MA tornado and produced 1.5" hail a mile from my house (golfballs in Colts Neck)...The second one had an amazing shelf cloud, went on for 45 mins with constant lightning and several downbursts of 40-50mph wind gusts. I lost power with 3 different lightning strikes over that span.

SE Nassau is the worst screw zone.

Friday's pattern is looking mighty interesting for severe potential.

Agreed...just wondering if we might be a little too far north and the convection might sink south along the gradient and towards more unstable air. The good news is that we aren't in the scorching heat and mid level temps..the gradient or just south of it is usually a good place to be especially when you have little perturbations running along it.

The gradient usually has better shear anyway.

july 09 was my last severe event

Forky, do you (or anyone else) remember the date of the severe line of storms that developed over North Jersey and went on to produce 70mph+ winds and hail for NE NJ and parts of NYC? I believe Central Park lost a ton of trees during this storm. It was either June 2008 or 2009. That's the last severe storm I had up here. Lots of wind damage and golf-ball sized hail. I'd love to see a radar image and/or a list of storm reports, but I can't recall the date. Anyone remember this?

I think it was June 2008.

If you want, you can look it up on Uptons storm archive: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/stormtotals.html

Edit: I think it was in August 2009.

Was it the straight line wind event that you were talking about?

Here is a link to the NWS storm report for the August 18, 2009 event:

Just saw your edit. That event was similar, and it appears that was the event where Central Park lost a ton of trees, but it was also more localized. I remember that cell producing wind damage and large hail from KEWR, then northeast to KNYC.

I'm pretty sure the event I'm thinking of was in June 2008. There was a severe line of storms that moved through around 9PM. I remember the radar showing like 67DBZ directly overhead. I was hoping to find some radar images, but a google search isn't turning up anything.

Thanks, but the event is not listed there. Kind of surprising since there was lots of damage right in the immediate metro area.

It was the August 18, 2009 straight line wind event.

It is in the edited post above your post.

According to the storm report, more than 100 trees were knocked down.

widespread for the entire area or isolated?

Any possabilities of a MCS early Friday morning in the Mid Atlc? NWS mentioned it in the LR outlook.

Agreed...just wondering if we might be a little too far north and the convection might sink south along the gradient and towards more unstable air. The good news is that we aren't in the scorching heat and mid level temps..the gradient or just south of it is usually a good place to be especially when you have little perturbations running along it.

The GFS seems to like the mid-Atlantic area more, but that can change in a blink. The over all pattern is very ideal with wnw mid-level flow great for EML advection into our area. And it is highly speculative to try and pick out timing and convective mode this far out, but it would appear we may see impulses (presumably MCS's or left over MCV's) travelling west to east out of the Midwest Friday into the weekend.
