NorEaster27 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Storm was severe on I 280 around newark and the NJ TPK earlier. Having a storm warned does not make it severe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I got a photo of the beautiful anvil earlier this afternoon from the storm along the North Shore. Nice shot! I had a similar vantage point in Carle Place. Its rare to get good enough visibility around here to see the anvil/tower structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 With southerly winds over a rain-cooled air mass, weaker storms may still fire up, as the RAP and 18Z RGEM suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCSuburbs Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks. It helps when we can get storms developing close by. Do you know if this was also an anvil? I only saw this much before more clouds came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Where do you think storms are worse, Plainview where you used to live, or Port Jeff? Im thinking Plaintview further west, but PJ is north so you get those nasty cells from CT... Moved to Plainview in 1971...resided there until 1994...there were certainly some good t-storms there over the years...but as far as comparison and such...a good deal harder as there were so few weather resources outside of NOAA weather radio and TWC radar did not come along till 1982...and internet not till a decade later...as I posted a few days ago...Port Jeff seems exceptionally wet during the summer (at least during my watch)...and they seem a fair bit wetter during the warm season than say the East End where sea breezes obviously promote stability and discourage the development of cumulonimbus clouds...but as far as comparisons...I have not owned a rain gauge in recent years so I could not say for certain vs Plainview...I'm more of a winter climate guy (in terms of interest)...and can say w/o equivocation Port Jeff is a good deal snowier than Plainview...even though the period I lived in Plainview was in general a bad stretch for snow relative to normal....while the exact opposite has been true while living out here... The phrase was meant relatively speaking...in terms of actual difference...I'd say about 2.5 to 3.5 inches per average year snowier...depending on what side of Plainview you're on...3.5" compared with the SW part of Plainview...2.5" vs. the NE part (Round Swamp Rd / Northern State Parkway area). <Yes, wrong thread, I know...will restrict going off on tangents in future> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooralph Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Midtown was hammered. My first fun NYC event. Sidewise rain, hail. Water in our apartment. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 storms keep hitting the same areas this summer...jersey shore and north shore of LI in particular...northern nassau has been SLAMMED over and over this summer, pretty remarkable. Saw some roads closed in my area for down trees but my neighborhood was fine...pretty crazy how the south shore has had nothing and we have been getting killed...even worse just north of me by 3 miles...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The lightning over the ocean was epic today best i have seen in 14 summers life guarding at Jones Beach! A solid hour of non stop strikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Midtown was hammered. My first fun NYC event. Sidewise rain, hail. Water in our apartment. Good times. I didn't see hail from my office but the rain and lightning was very intense-some wind too. Better than about 95% of the storms that ever make it to the South Shore. Hard to get excited about any kind of severe threat on Long Island. The 100+ degree heat provided plenty of fuel when the lid finally did pop off today.

Thunderdude Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The storms were decent although not severe but some gusty winds up to 30 to 35 mph with lots of thunder and lightning. The best stayed north and south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 .20" in the rain gauge in Piscataway about a mile away from the football stadium. Had one good gust, didn't seem anywhere near 40 though. Yep, I picked up only 0.25 here. It was very frustrating to only get moderate rain. Barely enough to water the garden. That storm looked so good when it was in Somerset county, but it weakened quickly and the worst of it went just to my south. Piscataway seems to repel t-storms. It's so frustrating how we constantly miss the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, I've lived on Long Island for the last 41 years and have seen hundreds of thunderstorms during that span....well, maybe it was just my imagination.

ict1523 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Got caught by a very heavy downpour in Middle Village. Drove down Woodhaven, in front of the storm, then it caught up to me by the Belt Parkway. Saw some amazing CG strikes there coming from the north. Insane, huge, colorful bolts. Really loud thunder too. Didn't see any hail despite some extremely heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Another bust in Westchester, picked up almost nothing in the rain category so the dry pattern continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof09 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I probably picked up less than .5 inches yesterday. Had a quick downpour, some lightning and thunder. Hoping that maybe tommorow morning delivers but we'll see i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Another bust in Westchester, picked up almost nothing in the rain category so the dry pattern continues. NAM gives you between 7 and 8 inches tomorrow. That should bring you above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
