bluewave Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Be interesting to see if there is a return to tornado activity this August and September after the last tornadoes in 2012? http://www.weather.gov/okx/NewYorkTors SUFFOLK 9/15/2000 SUFFOLK 7/1/2001 SUFFOLK 7/1/2001 RICHMOND 10/27/2003 NASSAU 8/12/2005 NASSAU 8/25/2006 SUFFOLK 8/25/2006 SUFFOLK 7/18/2007 KINGS 8/8/2007 RICHMOND 8/8/2007 BRONX 7/25/2010 KINGS 9/16/2010 QUEENS 9/16/2010 QUEENS 8/28/2011 SUFFOLK 8/28/2011 SUFFOLK 8/10/2012 QUEENS 9/8/2012 KINGS 9/8/2012 http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/WAF-D-12-00006.1 This paper describes the climatology of tornadoes around New York City (NYC) and Long Island (LI), New York, and the structural evolution of two tornadic events that affected NYC on 8 August 2007 and 16 September 2010. Nearly half (18 of 34 events from 1950 to 2010) of NYC–LI tornadoes developed between 0500 and 1300 EDT, and August is the peak tornado month as compared to July for most of the northeast United States. A spatial composite highlights the approaching midlevel trough, moderate most unstable convective available potential energy (MUCAPE), and frontogenesis along a low-level baroclinic zone. Shortly before the early morning tornadoes on 8 August 2007, a mesoscale convective system intensified in the lee of the Appalachians in a region of low-level frontogenesis and moderate MUCAPE (;1500 J kg21). Warm advection at low levels and evaporative cooling within an elevated mixed layer (EML) ahead of the mesoscale convective system (MCS) helped steepen the low-level lapse rates. Meanwhile, a surface mesolow along a quasi-stationary frontal zone enhanced the warm advection and low-level shear. The late afternoon event on 16 September 2010 was characterized by a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) that also featured an EML aloft, a surface mesolow just west of NYC, low-level frontogenesis, and a southerly low-level jet ahead of an approaching midlevel trough. The QLCS intensified approaching NYC and generated meso- vortices as the QLCS bowed outward. These cases illustrate the benefit of high-density surface observations, terminal Doppler radars, and sounding profiles from commercial aircraft for nowcasting these events.

Rock888 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The Damage from the 09/16/2010 storm was insane. In Forest Hills nearly every street for blocks was totally covered in huge trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Can anyone post the famous photo (if it is not copyrighted) of a waterspout tornado next to the Statue of Liberty on July 09, 1976, taken by a tourist in Battery Park and which appeared on front page of the NY Daily News. This was only days after hundreds of tall ships etc. were in the area for the Bi-Centennial. Waterspouts also appeared off of Nortons Point, in CI.

bluewave Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Public Information Statement National Weather Service New York NY 758 PM EDT WED AUG 10 2016 ...Weak EF-0 Tornado Confirmed Near Mattituck in Suffolk County New York... Location...Mattituck in Suffolk County New York Date...August 10 2016 Estimated Time...425 PM EDT Maximum EF-Scale Rating...EF0 Estimated Maximum Wind Speed...70 MPH Maximum Path Width...40 YARDS Path Length...0.3 YARDS * Fatalities...0 * Injuries...0 * The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event(s) and publication in NWS Storm Data. ...Summary... The National Weather Service in New York NY has confirmed a weak tornado near Mattituck in Suffolk County New York on August 10 2016. Based on a survey conducted by an NWS Meteorologist, NWS doppler weather radar data, emergency management, and trained Skywarn spotters, the National Weather Service confirmed a weak EF0 tornado in Mattituck at 4:25 pm EDT this afternoon. As a severe thunderstorm moved southeast across eastern Suffolk County, it produced a small weak short-lived tornado in Mattituck. Most wind damage was concentrated between Main Road and New Suffolk Avenue close to the corridor from Cardinal Drive southeast to Blossom Bend, where the tornado lifted before reaching New Suffolk Avenue. Wind damage was confined mainly to trees, where several trees were snapped in half. This information can also be found on our website at weather.gov/NYC. For reference...the Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0...wind speeds 65 to 85 mph. EF1...wind speeds 86 to 110 mph. EF2...wind speeds 111 to 135 mph. EF3...wind speeds 136 to 165 mph. EF4...wind speeds 166 to 200 mph. EF5...wind speeds greater than 200 mph. $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billgwx Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 We've had several events that looked promising on paper a day or two out, then failed to deliver...ingredients too weak or disjointed except on August 10th.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
