Meadowbrook Parkway, just past Hempstead Turnpike.  I go home this way from work.

 

At least once or twice a week, a truck wanders onto the Meadowbrook, despite the idiot signs everywhere.  I'll give this guy credit, though... clearly, he thought 10'5" was plenty of clearance for his Tonka Toy truck.

obviously not all of those bridges are the same height since he made it through at least 2 before the crash - luckily there was not a major accident and that guy had some explaining to do to the cops and whoever owns that truck....

It really stinks having KDIX radar down in big events. At least we have Dover Air Force Base.

This isn't going to be a big event for us. 1-2" of rain maybe isn't major at all. Many areas might have less than 1". The heavy amounts fell over central/eastern PA where dynamics are better and upslope on the SE wind helps wring out moisture. Some areas there have 4-5" of rain.

It may not be a major event for the eastern half of this sub forum but western areas should do well.

I don't so much care for this event, but it better be back up in time for our sad excuse for a T-storm season in June/July/August.

Should be? Lol...people can post what they went on the internet as long as it's legal

 

 

Was kidding on those percentages. In reality, all of us should probably be banned. Start anew like the great flood.

I don't think we are going to have any heat waves around chicago or points east and north in May - the ghost of old man winter still haunts us

Models bullseye parts of LI and CT.

But they also show a giant dry slot where that slug of rain is currently over the Delmarva. I don't believe the models are handling the situation very well but we shall find out soon. This is why I posted Mt. Holly AFD earlier.

The 700mb wind is still pretty healthy across the Delmarva. We'll have to see if that slows down or speeds up. That will determine how heavy the rain is here. You can see the 700mb jet streak across upstate NY:

No 90 degree temps for them through at least May - going to be interesting to see how far into June we get before the first 90 degree temp and first heat wave 3 days in a row  or more of 90  here in the northern mid atlantic

At the same time if KNYC does not drop below 50 through the remainder of the month they will set a new all time record for warmest minimum for the month of May.

Not hitting 90 in May happens all the time, or at least it used to. Not dropping below 50? Not once since records began a long time ago.

Warmest monthly minimum...

49 in 2012

49 in 1982

48 in 1899

48 in 1910

the 1982 analog has been on my radar since last August...That year had a May max/min of 84/49...this year is 85/50 so far...

Tonight will be close. 50 is the P & C for NYC, and 48 for EWR. One more chance post FROPA this weekend as well.
