Line came through here (Oakland, NJ) with extremely heavy rain - instantaneous rates approached 10"/hr for a moment. Not a ton of wind in the squall line, with a peak gust of 20 (gusts up to 29 during the day); though I live in a deep valley amid rugged terrain. It'll probably be more impressive out over the flatter and coastal areas to the east, but the surface translation wasn't anything huge here in interior North Jersey.

Luckily, the story is definitely a bit different for my other Davis weather station on Long Beach Island.

So you're the weather station just up the river from me! Mine was never online, and it currently is in need of some repair, so I check in with your page whenever I need info.

It seems these lines always break up just before they come through here.

guys, I repeated this multiple times today. The strongest winds are always out ahead of the rain in these setups...the best LLJ is east of the line of rain....the best winds were about an hour ahead of the line under max LLJ.

The winds seem to still be strengthening here. Not the "roar" I heard on 3/13/10 but definitely impressive. It's probably just along the immediate coast but it's windy enough to knock down a weaker tree or two given full leaves. The higher gusts are in the 50s I'd say.

I just got back from the bay, pretty impressive sustained winds but gusts were probably in the low 40s

I think you mean to say the best mixing tends to be east of the rain - I don't think it's the LLJ that is necessarily further east. Light rain seems to usually have the effect of hindering mixing, while heavy rain seems to help mixing. It all depends, though, and I've seen winds increase with light rain on some occasions and decrease with heavy rain on others. Today, the rain (and sunset; it doesn't matter that it was overcast) seemed to hinder mixing. I remember 12/1/10 being an exception, though, with strong winds right through the squall line.

Great to know that you are finding my data useful! We have a nice crop of stations in Oakland now - I think 5, at last check. There was only one other when mine went online in 2006.

Lines really have been breaking up just to our west frequently this year. It happens way too often!

The beach was fun. Gusts in the mid 50s I would think

Yeah minus the sand blowing in my eyes. During the gusts it was almost strong enough to hold me up leaning into the wind. Easily 50 if not more. Since Im always down at the beach during high wind events its time to purchase a hand held anemometer!!!

Not at my parents, the strongest gust was with the squall line.

Yeah especially on the boardwalk! It was much more manageable on the beach itself since all the dry, loose sand was blown near the boardwalk and on it. I definitely should have brought goggles or something.

I need a hand-held anemometer, too. But once I faced the ocean on the beach, I could barely stand.

Any pictures or video?
