LIWeatherGuy29 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Epic lightning storm here. I haven't seen a storm like this in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 One of the heaviest downpous of the last 3 years here in SW Suffolk. 1.5 at Wantagh mostly in just 25 to 30 minutes. Came in about 3-4 torrential waves in SW Suffolk. First wave arrived with a 35 mph gust and near 0 visibility. Frequent cloud to ground lightning throughout.

SnoSki14 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's crazy that I've been missing these storms by maybe 4-5 miles tops, there's one just now about 5-6 miles to my SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean good for everyone else but it is annoying. N. Monmouth getting slammed right now. I wonder with all this humidity, AN rainfall, and high SSTs if September will be unusually active once we add in some upper level/shear support.

ForestHillWx Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Happy for the folks near the coast/city who've missed the storms the past few weeks. I'm still seeing quite the light show and I must be at least 45 miles as the crow flys. Maybe I'm seeing another cell in union county? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Best light show I’ve seen in years. Photogenic lightning in all directions while driving on the LIE. Saw a bolt come down dead center over the roadway and branch out in opposite directions (like an upside down letter T), each branch was miles long.
