That band down by ACY is racing due North.

If that track holds, urban NJ/Staten Island/Manhattan are in for a rough ride.

[gravitylover]

Rain has eased off but the wind is starting to come up a bit. The leaves are really flying now.

[Morris]

Radar hasn't looked as good as it does now since....?

[Sportybx]

When do we hear it's " locked in " 

Every storm we hear 3 days out . This is the day and we still don't have a 100% on it .. 

 

[Sportybx]

JFK always seems to get the strongest winds lol.

 

I'm wondering why these big weird storms always seem to happen at the end of October........

Upton has had Danbury consistently in the low 60's for two days now so I'm figuring I'll be right around there. It's got me a little bit concerned if the wind is out of the SE as I'm exposed to that direction with lots of big trees around the house.

I'm worried that we are going to get strong SE winds tonight and then strong W winds tomorrow, that kind of directional change can't be good for trees, especially after inches of rainfall.

Looks like low is consolidating in Central NC, around 996 mb.

[Rtd208]

Up to 0.71" of rain so far today. That number should increase rapidly over the next few hours.

[BobbyHolikWillFindYou]

Not a leaf stirring in eastern Passaic county.

[weathermedic]

1.11 inched here. Heavy rain. Wind still gusting to around 20 mph.

[TriPol]

This is beautiful. The radar is lit up like a Christmas tree.

[Big Jims Videos]

LGA, JFK and EWR gusting past 30mph on latest obs.

[Drz1111]

Keep an eye on that convergence / band coming onshore NJ now for some quick spinups.  Line is getting kinky.

Lots of sub 994 readings there now, pretty impressive. Let's see how fast it falls now.

[Rtd208]

Flood Warning just issued here until midnight, wow.

[sussexcountyobs]

A little breeze at times here in Vernon/Stockholm area. Only 1/10" on rain gauge so far

Where can I find certain station winds? I’m in Suffolk County.

C'mon.

[SnoSki14]

Mild temps up to 65-66F should help lessen the inversion along with much warmer than normal SST's.

[dmillz25]

1.20" here with 40 mph gusts
