Ocean County...severe weather capital of the east coast lately.

I'm telling ya, Jackson Twp-Toms River corridor seems to be a hot spot almost every year for strong convection. The severe northern portion of the cluster has weakened, but I can't complain this summer.

Tonight I've had lightning/thunder for almost 2 hours now. Nothing better than a good old fashioned stormy night (well, ok, a blizzard).

Pretty crazy how central nassau really avoided the storms, as did most of the 5 boroughs and NE NJ...got .32 in the bucket, saw lightning to my north all afternoon, slipped south too far east in suffolk...since i was nailed several times in june i havent seen much since.

clouds looked great all around

1.96" of rain today in the adjacent town of Mt. Sinai...1.65" with the dinner time storm and 0.31" with the late night one.

hit 90 yesterday, some needed rain about a half inch but yesterdays rain will not do much of a dent really given 3 upcoming scorchers and then we see what Wednesday pm brings...the lawns should be pretty dormant for the forseeable future.

Isotherm...do not know about NYC but Mt Holly still calling mid to upper 80s for me Thurs-Sat so I would think NYC would be in the low to mid 80s that timeframe

With the frontal boundary sinking south on Wednesday along with some moderately favorable bulk shear (around 30 kts) it looks like we could see more potential for organized severe storms. The best shear and instability juxtaposition lies just to our north on most models at the time, over Southeastern New York and into parts of Southwestern New England. That being said, organized storms could develop and sink south towards higher instability later in the afternoon.

Most models are showing at least some shower activity late Wednesday and Wednesday night before clearing out and turning comfortable the remainder of the week and weekend. I'm still not sold on anything under 85 for a high and upper 60s for a low in the urban areas though.

Wednesday has a scattered storm risk, some strong/possibly a few severe, although the storm risk drops down into Virginia by Friday while it stays dry here.
