winterwarlock Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Overall i thought it was a nice fall system...around 3pm there was some pretty strong gust.....and around 7 the rain was unbelievable... nah I only got .88 and yeah there was some wind gusts but nothing I have not seen before. I bought the hype and we didnt work even though it did not rain from 8 AM to 4 PM except for a few renegade drops. assuming there will be some branches and limbs to clean up today but thankfully the crabgrass had all but dried up prior to this event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser25973 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Am I imagining things when a line of storms seems to get weaker as it crosses into NYC and then all of a sudden gets stronger as it goes to LI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 7:39 seems early, wasnt raining then was it? That's at the time the line arrived. By 7:51pm, LGA reported .17" of rain. And then .89" from 7:51pm to 8:51pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billgwx Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Am I imagining things when a line of storms seems to get weaker as it crosses into NYC and then all of a sudden gets stronger as it goes to LI? I'd say it got stronger right as it was crossing NYC. A nice bowing segment developed right over Astoria and the Bronx with well defined bookend vortices. It continued to intensify and may spawned a "spinup" shall we call it? along the coast of Westchester up into Greenwich or Stamford if any of the non-flaky JFK Terminal Doppler velocity radar data from 800-815 PM are to be believed.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Am I imagining things when a line of storms seems to get weaker as it crosses into NYC and then all of a sudden gets stronger as it goes to LI? there has to be something to it...When I lived in CNJ, i would watch severe storms dissipate all summer long as they moved out of Eastern PA and Northwest NJ then fire up again over Eastern LI. I think with the flow of summertime storms being from the NW or W, the mountains tend to squeeze them out while eastern LI has ocean enhancement. Kind of like clipper systems in the winter but im not sure it works the same way. Athough yesterdays storms had more forcing from the SW, it was part of a phased system to our north so the strength was maintained throughout.... It wasnt your typical summertime frontal passage to our NW. I dont have scientific reasoning on my end though. maybe someone better suited can chime in.
