NycStormChaser Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 how late could i get there and still get a good spot for the fireworks in your opinion? You will be able to see the fireworks from almost anywhere in liberty state park. They are expecting 100,000 people but there should be room. The only thing is the police will stop letting cars in once the park is full. From what I'm told, no later than noon but I'm sure the morning rains will keep the crowds away for awhile.

If you are familiar with the area, get off the stop before liberty state park which is jersey avenue and walk over the pedestrian bridge into the park. Less volume that way.

SnowGoose69 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Red Hook in Brooklyn tends to be a great place to watch the fireworks where much fewer people tend to congregate, I've gotten down there several times as late as 7pm with no big issues.

jm1220 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I still expect the brunt of rain and any storms is done by the afternoon and anything after 2-3pm (nj - nyc) is scattered and light. Id also think rapid clearing and drying out by sunset on the 4th. Strongly agree. The dry air west of this will come in quickly and clear things up once the rain stops. The storm will also be moving quickly once at this latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEG NAO Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Radar at 6:50 does not look that impressive south of Allentown as the storms that came through DC and are moving northeast seem to be weakening on radar http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?zoommode=pan&prevzoom=zoom&num=6&frame=0&delay=15&scale=1.000&noclutter=0&ID=DIX&type=N0R&showstorms=0&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&map.x=400&map.y=240&scale=1.000¢erx=400¢ery=240&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&lerror=20&num_stns_min=2&num_stns_max=9999&avg_off=9999&smooth=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcad1 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Might end up being dry tomorrow atleast that's the way it looks on radar. Of course all the storms tonight fell apart as the moved east across the city and doesn't seem to be much to the west or south of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anything after that is scattered. Id exect it to dry out and clear quickly by nightfall. Temps falling to low 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Decent downpour this time for a few minutes but another event that strongly favored NW of the city. Maybe 0.25" or so rain this time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metsfan Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I still think most of the NYC Metro region will start to clear out by around 4-5 pm with the exception of LI which may take a few hours longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that the fireworks will be going on tonight. The rainfall bands are starting to converge right now. Near Tropical Storm Force winds are expected in the next few hours or so.

IsentropicLift Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Rain bands down here overnight have been eaten away this morning thanks to dry air wrapping around the western side. Seems like all of the heaviest rains are in the convergence zone between the front and Arthur. SPC WRF nailed this. Some areas today will receive many inches.

Weathergun Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Right now we're in between the 2 batches of rain...wonder if we end up staying mostly dry? It should fill in some the next few hours.

I'm in the catskills in the deformation band for 12 hours under the firehose it's 60-70 miles wife but glued to sullivan county ,it's been raining at various rates since 10 pm last night it's inching east southeast very slowly, front is pretty much stalled over us and will only make slow progress as the hurricane moves east. The dry air in between is getting attacked from the southeast and northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
