Power was out and came back around 1 am

It's going to be impressive next week to see the the polar vortex drop down from the Arctic into

the Great Lakes during July. There should be a nice stream of convection along the cold front.

That pattern began last last August and just locked in.

The 500 mb composite anomalies for August 2013 to July 2014 are going to be heavily skewed towards the large negative anomalies over the great lakes this past winter. Since the height anomalies on the ESRL site are raw departures (not normalized by the seasonal standard deviations), the winter values will usually be more extreme as well due to climatology. The height anomalies for May and June 2014 both show neutral to positive anomalies in the northeast US and southeastern Canada. Therefore, I'm not sure you can say that the pattern of negative height anomalies over the upper plains and great lakes has persisted into this summer.

When you look at the long term mean, that's where the mean trough location sets up. That doesn't mean that the trough

will be in that exact location every month over the last year. As we saw after April, there was a brief relaxation in May

and the trough was displaced  further west in June. But this month is continuing the long term trend with the lowest

heights back over the Great Lakes again. Also notice in May how the ridge couldn't build strong enough 

into Minnesota where a weakness remained. It's a result of the record breaking ridge that keeps rebuilding

over the NEPAC.

Yesterday was good for winds west of NYC. I actually was surprised something actually happened yesterday. Today looks fairy good for severe weather as well..... Away from the coast, into the LHV N&W

Last nights action came thru around 9-10 pm and was loosing it's punch. Today's might come thru a few hours sooner. Could get rowdy up this way in the LHV. We'll see.

We had a 50kt+ wind maxima at 850mb, moving over the area. That the 18z NAM yesterday had picked up on first. Convection died before it bring more of those winds down to the surface over LI:

Whats more is that some of our more widespread severe days have been when the SPC isnt putting up moderate/high risks that we've seen in the past. That said being where i am as you and everyone else knows here, looking at this stuff and not witnessing any of it pretty much is a real punch to the plums my friend

We had some gusty winds here last night from evening on under that jet. The storms as usual died out before reaching us but we did have a period of some strong winds.

I think today will be a more active T-storm day along the coast. Although thermodynamic parameters are meager, 40kts of bulk effective shear coupled with weak capping should yield fairly widespread garden variety convection, with isolated strong/severe potential.

 

The skew-t for NYC valid 00z this evening is more favorable for convection development and maintenance than last night's sounding. CINH of 51 and CAP value of about 1.5. Sufficient forcing from the mid/upper level energy should aid the process.

So everyone but Suffolk.... as usual lol

If someone in the SPC issues a severe thunderstorm watch or warning for suffolk county that person has big coconuts. Odds of us getting a true severe storm in suffolk county are as good as me hitting the powerball :lol:

I'm still surprised Nassau is even included in this...we'll have to see if any severe storms can make it down here. (BTW, when I say severe, I just mean rain, thunder and lightning. We'll be lucky if we even get any rain.) 

http://w1.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?word=severe+thunderstorm+warning

 

FYI - Though heavy rain/frequent thunder/lightning are quite dangerous, none of those apply to what constitutes a severe thunderstorm.

Oh I know that....I was just kinda using the word severe to mean something it's not...What I should of said was that I doubt Nassau County will even get into any heavy rain/thunder/lightning. At this point, since I never even get or witness severe weather down here, I kind of call heavy rain/thunder/lightning severe weather. It makes me feel better....But that's my problem. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.  :)

Living on LI especially by me in SW suffolk our standards for a severe storm are VERY LOW. That said a cell popped up in SW nassua but is already going poof, the LI storm shield holds strong!

lets hope not too impressive....I'm going away camping in the Catskills region....all next week! That same area that I'm going to has already had 2 tornado warnings in less than 7 days (Sullivan County).

This year has been impressive already...compared to the one flash of lightning I saw all of last year
